    The Day of the Dead Anthology

    The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is a now-famous tradition from ancient times that has been a huge part of Mexican Culture through the centuries. Like so many things in Mexico, it's influenced strongly by certain aspects of the Aztec people.

    It has shaped the way those of us with that heritage look at life and death in many ways, and most importantly on the remembrance of, and honoring the deceased. We traditionally decorate little altars dedicated to the memories of those that passed away… but it's not a somber occasion.

    Phishing Awareness

    Have you ever found yourself in a situation like this?



    And then you magically find yourself in a suspiciously familiar site, except that you're not logged in, and it requires you to do so?

    Well. Don't log in. This is a scam, and a cheap one at that. 

    There've been recent attempts to obtain Fimfiction users’ personal data, like passwords and/or emails through links like the one I'm making fun of above. And a distressing amount of people don't seem to know what phishing attempts are.

    If you HAVE entered a site like this and put in your data, make sure to follow these basic steps at least.

    All Our Best [Royal Canterlot Library]

    As should be obvious from 15 months without a feature, life has taken the Royal Canterlot Library curators in different directions. While there’s still plenty of awesome stories being written in the My Little Pony fandom, we’re no longer actively working to spotlight them, and it’s time to officially draw the project to a close.

    Thank you for all of your support, suggestions, and comments over the years. We’re grateful to have been able to share seven years of exemplary stories with you, and give more insight into the minds behind them. In the spirit of the project, please keep reading and recommending fantastic fics to friends—the community is enriched when we all share what we love.

    Reunions: A Swapped Roles Contest!

    Okay guys here's something fun presented by Nitro Indigo.

    Presented by me, I guess, but I digress.

    Last year, I (Nitro Indigo) noticed that there was a surprising lack of roleswap fanfics on this site. To fix that, I decided to run a roleswap contest over the summer themed around secrets. While it didn’t get many entries, it nevertheless attracted the attention of some big authors and was the origin of two of my favourite fics. Overall, I think it was a success, so I’ve decided to run another one!

    Minor Rules and Reporting Update

    Hope everyone is enjoying the new year.

    Some small changes have been made to our rules as well as to the reporting process.

    Rules

    "No attacks directed at individuals or groups due to race, gender, gender identity, religion or sexual identity."

    This better clarifies our previously ill-defined hate speech rule and includes groups as well as individual attacks.

    "No celebration, glorification or encouragement of real life criminal activity."

    This includes past, present and potential future crimes.

    "Ponyfic: There Can Be Only One" wrap-up [Royal Canterlot Library]

    We're still recovering this week from the fandom's final Bronycon.  (In some cases literally — a con-crud-ridden Horizon is dragging himself out of bed to write this.)  So in lieu of a Bronycon-week feature, we'd like to talk a little bit about the panel we hosted to find THE FANDOM'S BEST FANFIC™.

    We've got a full writeup on our royalcanterlotlibrary.net website — including the complete bracket of 16 fics in contention for the title; shout-outs to great fics which we couldn't fit on the shortlist; and the full results of audience and curator voting.

    Our hearty congratulations to Monochromatic's "The Enchanted Library" for taking the BEST FANFIC title in an upset victory over our #1 seed!  We'll be running an interview with Monochromatic as soon as possible.

Site Post » PSA: Using AIs to Write and Publish Stories in Fimfiction · 3:51am May 19th, 2023

Hello everyone, this is a PSA (Public Service Announcement, for those of ESL) to put to rest consistent questions about using AI to 'write' stories and publish them here. This is not intended as a poll or a request for feedback. It is exclusively a clarification on an already-existing rule.

People ask: "Can I, oh great and powerful D, post a story or chapter that I got ChatGPT to write for me?!"

And the answer, my friend, is... No.

Absolutely not. Not in a thousand years!

Because you didn't write it.

It is not your creation. You are NOT the author. In fact, you are the opposite.

There seems to be some confusion when interpreting the following rule:

Don’t Post (Content)

[...]

2. Stories you did not write. If you are not the original author or a co-author, you cannot post it, even with permission. This includes “novelizing” a comic, movie, game, etc. that you did not create. For example: a Halo crossover with the same plot, scenes, dialogue, etc. but with the characters replaced by ponies.

[...]

The clarification following the actual rule:  "Don't Post Stories you did not write" lists examples of what it obviously means to NOT write a story yourself. But, for some reason, the fact that the examples do not clearly say "Using an AI to write the story for you" seems sufficient enough for people to somehow miss the otherwise obvious, and believe that it is somehow different to use a text generator to do the work for them.

This brings to mind that old adage:

There are two types of people in this world:

1: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

So, let's take a look at the rule:

Don't Post Stories you did not write.

Rule Number 2 of Fimfiction; a rule that states in no uncertain terms that the stories you post should be of your own creation. Typed by you. Developed by you. Expanded and explored by you, the author.

There was an idea and you sat down, and you wrote the characters, the world, the dialogue and all interactions. It's your story, for you to share with potential readers through the site.

Truly, a wonderful thing.

Now, let's look at the examples:

1) If you are not the original author or a co-author, you cannot post it, even with permission. 

If you didn't sit down, and you wrote the characters, the world, the dialogue and all interactions. It's not your story, for you to share with potential readers through the site?

Then you can't post it. If someone else wrote the story and told you, "Hey, chum. Post this for me, will ya?"

You cannot do so under the rules. And if they didn't give you permission, it's even worse! It's called plagiarism and it is actually a crime. (Plagiarism is not derivative work, btw.)

The example continues:

This includes “novelizing” a comic, movie, game, etc. that you did not create. For example: a Halo crossover with the same plot, scenes, dialogue, etc. but with the characters replaced by ponies.

Which is an example of things we see come up and gladly delete.

The fact that the example ends here is not an indication that that is the limit of the rule. As having the AI write for you immediately draws a line straight to it being a story that you did not write.

No exceptions.

If an AI wrote it, you didn't. Period.

If an AI wrote it, you didn't.

If an AI wrote it… YOU DIDN'T.

That means it cannot be posted in Fimfic in accordance with the rules, and that means by natural conclusion, that it will be deleted and the author warned/penalized/banned.

Thank you.

The discussion of this topic on this blog has reached an end. Please stop posting. If you feel the need to continue the discussion with a particular person here, please do so via DM. Any further comments or posts will not be answered.

Who writes using AI?

What's the point?

Nevertheless, I'm glad about this post. In case some people might get the funny idea.

This really is a no brainer.

Phazon #3 · May 19th, 2023 · · 4 ·

You went through so much effort reiterating and emphasizing the rule, I'm convinced that you answered the question of AI-generated fanfics once for every person who asked it.

So are the people who post AI stories. :trollestia:

It seems like it would have been easier to just amend the rule to clarify that it includes ghostwritten stories as well.

There is a reason "legalese" exists, if it's not spelled out, it's a potential exploitable loophole

It's great that a post like this has been made, but I was wondering, could you strengthen this language:

People ask: "Can I, oh great and powerful D, post a story that I got ChatGPT to write for me?!"

to this?

A fair few people have done it already, usually more to supplement and enhance something they've already partially written, or to "get over writer's block" by letting the AI take the wheel for a few paragraphs.

It's difficult for some people to realize how slippery a slope AI can be, and how dangerous an idea this is over the long-term. It's better to struggle and overcome obstacles naturally, but I can understand the temptation to take the easy route without realizing where it can lead.

5728820 "Legalese" is not about being clear. It's intentionally dense and confusing language that can be hardly understood by anyone not versed in it and effectively boils down to interpretation.

What would matter here is the concept of the "spirit of the law", which affects the implementation of the rule/law's intent rather than the literal letter of it.

That's kinda disappointing. The brain can be a mystical and mysterious thing. :twilightsmile:

The saddest thing is I'm afraid, give it a few years, the AI will become normalized in society. It's already happening in the workforce when it comes to big tech, and this might just be the beginning of something worse I believe.

5728815
Weeeeell, I don't wanna namecall. I can understand how difficult it might be for some writers struggling to articulate a scene/tale.

And let's be honest--most of the time, people were only trying to post AI-written stuff on here so to poke fun at how lackluster an AI's writing skills overall still very much are. :ajsmug:

Still, thank you for the clarification! Obviously I had no intention of ever using an AI to write anything (why would I when I can write perfectly fine myself?), but it's still nice to have this set down on the record nonetheless. :twilightsmile:

If you don’t write it yourself then there is no heart in it.

I fully support this decision.
I don't want to get into a controversy as to whether it's fair or not, but my opinion is this: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES can people who don't put in the effort stand on a par with those who spend their time, nerves and mental resources on something to come up with interesting content.

Screw #19 · May 19th, 2023 · · 1 ·

I can see AI being used to assist in a story's creation. Usually for planning and writer's block.

But I can't really see ChatGPT, the free one, being used for writing a multi chapter story cohessively. Though, the premium one, the most up to date GPT, might seem capable.

I have seen some videos of a writer that used the premium version and published and sold a story on Amazon. It felt borderline disgusting.

Who knows how many fic here might have been from AI?

5728829
Yeah, yeah... It was just too good a straight-line to pass up! :pinkiehappy:

Were. Not anymore. Now that things have advanced to the point of being capable of generating legible, coherent English (although it pretty much universally comes across as soulless and bland), some people have tried submitting works partially or wholly generated by AI.

5728833
Even using AI as a tool "for writer's block" is dangerous, depending on what you mean by that. If you're stuck on how to write a scene, and you say "Help me, ChatGPT!" and the AI writes two sentences for you and you go "oh, awesome, thanks, now I know how to continue from here," I think that's a very easy way to find yourself becoming more and more reliant on it in the future. The next time you run into a problem, I bet you run to the AI even faster. And so on, until writing without the AI on deck to offer support becomes harder and harder to manage.

I'm not saying it's always bad, or that it can't be used responsibly in some cases. As a rough idea generator, essentially like a more advanced version of all the various name-generator sites and such that have existed for years, maybe. But any time you ask the AI to generate text for you that you then put in your story (even if you tweak and edit it a bit yourself), you are dancing with the devil.

Scampy #22 · May 19th, 2023 · · 13 ·

Unfathomably based mod decision 👏👏

In a couple of years, it may be impossible to tell a well written human story from a well written ai story. My questions is what happens then? How do you separate the wheat from the chaff If you can't tell the difference?

That's what I want to know myself. The worst case scenario would be if it becomes normalized in society, where it undermines originality and erodes the rules that have been put in place since the concept of copyright was introduced in the world.

I can understand using AI as a tool to create examples, but not outright replace people and their talents. Although I'm afraid big corporations will be intergrading the AI in writing stories and such. That's going to happen, and I won't be surprised if that'll happen at the rate we're going when it comes to the Hollywood strikes and such.

I wonder how many official movies today have had an AI write their script? Would explain the decline in quality for many of them. (Not Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 though)

5728838
Mannerisms might help distinguish them. Often the personality of a writer is reflected in their stories.

5728838

Seems pretty straightforward: If it isn't caught, the fake author would get away with it until the AI generated content slips up and invites suspicion. At that point, it will spawn a witch hunt (especially if the author was well respected), going through every sentence of every posted work by the fake author, to try to prove it. If you want an example of what it might look like, look no further than the scandals of famous speed runners who were finally proven to have cheated. Of course that's just for authors who try to appear legitimate as much as possible, and it also relies heavily on the idea that the AIs will actually be able mimic well written stories.

I honestly think, by that point, that the landscape will have changed a lot, since readers will just cut out the middle man and just get AIs to generate stories for them to read with all their specific, personalized interests being handled. Though I also think that these imitation AIs won't be able to generate such works anytime soon, because they'll be too formulaic that even if the story ends up being coherent, it'll be too bland to be considered well written. And anything that does appear really novel will probably give so many clues as to what the original text in the training data it used that it'll be possible to prove the AI generated part.

Now, actual GAI is another matter, and kind of beyond the scope of these rules, because they'll basically be people on their own merits. The generation AIs are not that, not even close, and that's what we'll be dealing with in the foreseeable future.

Guys... Just think about this topic. AI that will print stories, coherent, interesting and not only, what if you asked him to finish the abandoned stories? It's beautiful... You can already ask the chat to write a program (and if you give him a task to improve himself? CelestAI I'll wait for you). We are at a steep turn of events. We humans are essentially meat neural networks that have grown (been trained) with genetic predisposition, location and training conditions and that's it. Let's be honest, we're just afraid that technology will replace humans, even in creativity. This chat room imitates humans for now, the baby's first, awkward steps but that's just the beginning. I still hope to live longer and see a lot of interesting developments. I'm curious where it will all lead...

I saw a few stories that authors said they were written by AI and I always wondered if it was even allowed in the first place. :trollestia:

5728844
Maybe but technology sure does progress fast. Twenty years ago we didn't have self driving cars, deep fakes, the ai voice stuff that replicates real people so well, vr, robots, social media, chatgpt, hell we barely had an internet back then, but look at us now. Now it's everywhere and it's becoming more efficient by the year if not month. I think it'll be nearly perfect come this decades end.

I honestly think, by that point, that the landscape will have changed a lot, since readers will just cut out the middle man and just get AIs to generate stories for them to read with all their specific, personalized interests being handled.

This is the only thing I'm looking forward to with a perfected ai. I could ask it to generate countless stories specifically tailored to my preferences and practically never be bored again.

Hmm, aren't there a few stories where the original author left, and it was transferred to another? I think Turnabout Storm was one of them, but I may be misremembering it.

5728844

I honestly think, by that point, that the landscape will have changed a lot, since readers will just cut out the middle man and just get AIs to generate stories for them to read with all their specific, personalized interests being handled.

In the end, people will want to find cheaper means to get stuff done. Corporations are already looking at AI to replace workers in the fast food industry, writing department, and artwork too. At that point, plagiarism will become a thing of the past, a relic of a bygone era where it will be tossed into the bin of history. If that actually does happen, well, it will and truly be a brave new world for us as human beings.

Honestly, seems like a good policy to keep the site from being flooded with random garbage.

Sure, it might be funny the first few times (And maybe a few would turn out to be anomalous gems) but eventually AI-written stories would just become hated and probably auto-downvoted into oblivion by people who were tired of seeing them.

I still hope to live longer and see a lot of interesting developments.

I've been hearing a saying that's been coming up every now and then in term of AI and other technologies: "A brave new world."

This is the world that we're currently going to be heading into, and there's no telling how it'll affect us in our everyday lives as people.

I support this decision from the mods, especially for a fan fiction site like this. Most of us are doing this for free and it's in the best interest of all of us to keep this site as a place for human writers to showcase their skills to celebrate the MLP fandom.

That being said, philosophically I do wonder if AI like ChatGPT will become to writing what the calculator is to mathematic computation. Mathematical computation hasn't disappeared with the introduction of the calculator, it's just radically changed. Humans still do mathematical computations, but they don't need to add and multiply 17-digit numbers by hand, they need to know how to run programs like MathCAD or Excel--and have the fundamentals knowledge to check if the computer output is wrong.

Philosophically, if an engineer performs a calculation just by punching a few numbers into an Excel template, they still "own" the calculation, they put their initials on it. Similarly, if one were to write a story aided by ChatGPT, would they still "own" the story? Am I right in making this analogy?

5728842
My opinion: perhaps it’s happened before. AI can write blockbuster movie scripts only because the modern entertainment industry has been designed that way. Big entertainment in recent years has become a formula, simply regurgitating the exact elements that make the most box office revenue without any sense of respect for the craft. It's a formula. Of course an AI can follow a formula. My optimistic side hopes that the rise of AI will actually spur more creative work, as human creators make an effort to differentiate themselves from easily-automated cliches.

5728852
I fear that enough greed, stupidity and shortsightedness of a group of people can pervert any good endeavor. Or even destroy it completely... And they can't always be stopped quickly.

I'm sad.

Sad that people honestly thought this was permissible in the rules. Sad that this wasn't blatantly obvious. Sad that this had to be explicitly said.

:facehoof:

I think if you're dumb enough to have an AI write your entire story then you likely are asking for trouble or a bann. I mean, AI lacks emotion which is why when you ask the current models to write stuff from scratch it often comes out generic and lacking any real depth. So far they're only really good at re-mixing.

But using AI as a tool for editing? I don't have any real qualms about that. I asked chatGPT to help me write Zecora rhyming. I gave it a prompt for what I generally wanted Zecora to say and it did so. It wasn't perfect so I touched it up. I don't see any issues with that. Heck, Grammarly is an AI editing tool now. So, why would that be bad? :eeyup:

5728849
It's called handing over for adoption. So long as the original author is fine with it, you can play with it.

5728845
True, it is fascinating, but right now the discussion is about artistic integrity and the capability to exert creativity.

I'd say, I very doubt that AI in the near future will be able to write multi-layered engaging plots with multitudes of characters, strong themes and morals. But if it can be used as a stepping stone to learn by yourself and discover something new, not to say to help you with something menial and with what you struggle as a writer, then technology should be embraced.
If you are using it as a crutch, that's not acceptable, but ultimately it's on you. I think this tool must be treated more like advanced writing tips for your convenience.

Lastly, I don't suppose that AI will ever be able to competently write humor or romance. How can you make 'human' writing without this stuff I have no idea 😜
"Drama is easy. Comedy's hard."

Thank you for this decision. It is truly a win for all creators.

AI should be used to do the hard work and allow humans to create, not the other way around.

To be precise I'm talking about AI being used to do all the labor jobs while humans are allowed to make art and music and such. Free up people to do things they want, instead of being forced to work.

Literally the only thing I've used a Large Language Model for is generating made-to-order smut for when I'm horny but don't feel like ERPing. It's...serviceable at that. I don't think I'm in any danger of being outclassed by AI. (Hell, I'm pretty sure half the reason I get decent results out of it is because I'm good at giving GPT well-written sentences to predict from.)

I don’t mean to be a smart aleck, but I’m confused by the rule. Does that mean one cannot co-author a story with the AI?

Also, with the ‘There Are Two Types Of People In This World’ statement, what’s the second type of person?

5728865
Replicant detected, get him!

5728845
translated: "I'm lazy af lol"

Honestly I don't know why anyone would use AI to write a story, you have to babysit it so much and what comes out generally just... isn't what you want.

Literally the best I've used AI for in terms of story writing is something to bounce ideas off. Give it an idea, see what it comes up with if anything, if it's something interesting, turn it into a story. But having the AI write it? Nahhhhh.

I definitely think this is good, but I am confused as to why you needed to he so redundant in your explanation.
Are there really people out there that don’t understand that using an AI to create something doesn’t count as them actually making it?

I swear, I absolutely despise the rise of these art/writing AIs that have taken the internet by storm, and I loathe the people that try and use them to gain internet points at the expense of everyone else’s experience.
These platforms have been, from the very start, a place for creators to share their hard-made work for others to enjoy, and using an AI to make something for this place goes against that very foundational concept.
Nobody gets anything out of using these AIs. Readers find a bunch of dumb stuff that clearly has no soul; Creators are fighting against competition of that soulless stuff that takes up the pages; and even the Generators get barely a modicum of happiness out of posting the art/story, with any real happiness there coming from ticking off everyone else!

At this point, I don’t know if people are actually really using this stuff because the truly don’t know the difference, or if they just don’t care about that, and in turn, the rest of us on these platforms.

What if you use the AI to fix things in your story that you have already written? Like what if it can correctly improve a chapter you made or give feedback of your ideas. I believe AI is pretty helpful in certain areas though there’s definitely a difference of having it just completely make its own Fanfic since it would be like you stealing its work.

Tbh I like to read what AI would write since it would be chaotic after all right? :rainbowlaugh:

5728811
I do, for porn, things that I'll never publish as is, things that I'll fix to try to make an engaging, entertaining story

Ah yes, it's the old, 'I want to be famous, but don't want to put in the work, so get something to do it for me,' route that many have been tempted by. It's trusting a monkey to do your homework all over again.

However, I think I can find some loopholes around this, such as making the AI by scratch and telling that to make the story. Follow it up as a proofreader, change portions that sound off (cause there's going to be a lot) and what was once your idea given to machine of your design to make a story from its engine is now a creation of your own redesign. ...I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point, but it's basically the process of remixing. We remix ideas all the time with cliché choices and such from reusing the ideas of a human in Equestria to Twilight botching up a spell over towards portals between dimensions and reusing for the umpteenth time the phrase, 'A Night to Remember'.

Not to say that I'm for AI writing, but just what is originality when we take inspiration from everything?
