Dum de dum...just a little input here...take the essence of this story...put it in the AI generator...and BAM! There's a great comment, people! Look at that! It's only condensed all of that story into a nice little piece of text that I can just cut and paste, like this, into this box, at the end here. Et voila! Instant involved comment without having to think!
I really am fucking good at this.
There. That writer's going to love that. Better than "Great" or "Well done". It'll look like I've actually read the fucking thing.
Like I'd do that?
Fuck that.

Omgggg, I have no idea how I missed this! To those assholes who do this, may every breath you take be excruciatingly painful 😈😈😈
lol, and I've had ppl complain about my "great story" and "wonderfully penned" comments for not being revealing enough to prove I read the story haha. I never like giving a long comment, because I don't want to give the story away for ppl who read the comments for what the story is about <3 But, yes, I know exactly what you mean by this drabble. the AI commenters are getting rabid and multiplying. Some have even evolved to learn that the AI comment is unwelcome, so they type out multiple comments that they c&p on everyone's works ok, I'll shut up now, lol
In this piece, Rachel explores the motivation of people who use artificial intelligence to compensate for the absence of their own.
Is that 100 words exactly counting the phrase, "100 words exactly" or before the phrase?
It's so annoying! I think you've really captured the inner thoughts behind the people who do this stupid AI commenting and you did a marvelous job showing just how disgusting it is. And some of them just won't take a hint and go away!!
I feel like I say well done and great a lot! 😬 But on the plus side I don't use AI to summarize a story! Glad you could turn your frustration into a fab story!
There is something especially ugly and obtuse about this kind of delegation of all writing to robots. Not only will I let ChatGPT 4 or Gronk generate all of my "literary output," I'll let it fabricate responses to the works of my fellow "writers." Ecclesiastical disdain seems the right response to all of this: "all is vanity and vexation of spirit."
Rd - Am I 'Real' or am I "Memorex?" Jb
LOL. Its annoying as so bloody obvious. It's also really fucking insulting that they think we're so dumb.
Ugh, they are so annoying! Some of these AI comments are just full on, essay-length analyses of the work. Like come on, guys, just say “nice” or something to act like you’ve read it, it’s more convincing!
Fuck that, indeed. Fantastaroni, Rachel! See, I switched it up and used my very own word. 😁😁😁
I hate those comments more than anything else…
Wow, feeling the anger straight through that keyboard. But, now I’m afraid to write well done, even though it is 😉
I’m with you, Rachel. Let’s all make a little effort to share our reaction to the story. Fuck that indeed!
The last two lines sums up exactly why AI comments are so frustrating. "Like I'd do that? / Fuck that." It just shows how disrespectful that whole attitude is. It's so gross!
Great. Well done. (I'll screw right off now).
This story captures...... but, wait... Well, I'm not an AI, so! Yess, this is the most frustrating topic everywhere... AI, AI... I'm wondering why has vocal still not found a way to actually stop people from doing so. "Great" and "Well done" is actually so relatable. Some of my stories that I spent 4-5 hours crafting, editing, and then finally publishing when get comments like "Great story", I feel trucked up. I mean, it was a word count of 1000+ words... C'mon 🤧😭
