me, as a 20 y.o. junior Asia-Pacific researcher: all the asians look the same and their websites are cursed with the same spell
THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY A LARGE BOOK PUBLISHER IN MY COUNTRY ACCEPTED USING AI IN BOOK DRAFTS AND COVERS I AM LITERALLY IN TEARS WTF
not just they accepted it but they started a contest for authors and set a word count bar almost impossible for a human to write in such amount of time
I literally can't stand a thought that there'll be AI books in bookstores being sold for REAL MONEY

Writing Notes: Archetypes
A quick rundown of the 12 archetypes that we often encounter in literature:
Caregiver - sacrifices themselves for the needs and wants of others
Creator - creates or envisions
Hero - will save the day with confidence, talent, strength, or skill
Innocent - pure in their motivations; often naive and inexperienced
Joker - adds humor to the story
Lover - driven by passion, love, or devotion
Orphan - may feel out of place; has a deep desire to be understood/accepted
Outlaw - a rebel who breaks social convention
Magician - understands the way the world works & uses it to their advantage
Ruler - has control and/or wants to be in control
Sage - has acquired wisdom and may act as a mentor
Seducer - irresistible and uses their charm to get what they want
Every character has a purpose. While the character may be the protagonist of their own lives, they won't necessarily be the protagonist in the story that you're telling.
Perhaps they're the antagonist. Or a mentor. Or both.
Understanding the character's identity in your story will help you create a complete arc that resonates with your reader.
Fortunately, there's a time-tested way to easily identify the roles your characters will play in your story.
It relies on psychologist Carl Jung's theory of archetypes.
Jung believed there were 12 patterns, or archetypes, that exist in our collective unconscious — the part of the mind that is common to all humans.
These 12 archetypes represent basic human motivations.
And we experience all of them.
However, we each tend to be dominated by only one of these archetypes. And that's the basis of our personality.
Archetype vs. Stereotype
An archetype is used to define the role that a character plays in a novel. They can be a hero, an orphan, and/or an innocent.
By contrast, a stereotype is an oversimplified set of characteristics we assign a person based on preconceived beliefs about the group that the person belongs to, whether we’re doing so by race, gender, age, religion, etc.
While an archetype can be used as the starting point for defining a complex character, a stereotype is quite the opposite.
Stereotypes are reductive and narrow characters into caricatures.
An archetype is a template.
A stereotype is a formulaic conclusion.

The _white savior_ narrative in the way it is portrayed in 80's romance movies but in gender reverce
A white woman who comes as a part of some expedition to the distant exotic lands falls in love with a local man.
«but he's a savage» her sister says as she tells her about her situation.
«yeah I know» she replies «but he's a man, isn't it's what he's supposed to be?»
«yeah, but he has no etiquette and would probably treat a woman like you poorly»
«but sister dear you are married to a white man, and I can't really see any difference»
Such news frustrate and discuss me so much, I literally can not.
This shit is dystopian, AI was never meant to create art, it will never be able to.
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on

The fun thing about knightly honour and chivalry is that it was always just recently dead, you know? It was invented as something that had just recently died. That's why all these early knightly romances are set before the actual knightly class even emerged. They were telling the knights contemporary to them: "Look, this is how the knights in this bygone golden age behaved. They would never have hurt a woman or a civilian back in King Arthur's days. They were all honourable and pious back when Charlemagne was on the throne". And the unspoken but fairly obvious part was: "Unlike you disgusting bunch of rapists, looters and murderers". And it was a complete lie, of course, soldiers of all kinds have always been a disgusting bunch of rapists, looters and murderers. But it was a lie a whole bunch of people thought worth telling, because maybe, just maybe, it will shame at least some of these bastards into acting like a human being. And it didn't, I mean, not really, or at least not a lot of them. But then again, we got some bitchin' stories out of it, so I personally think it was worth telling after all.
