I'm sorry the post stayed up so long, I was at school. Banned for obvious reasons.

@Ghost

Dude. No.

Stop.

@Ghost FUCK NO. That is creepy and stalkery behavior and fucking disgusting.

If people want nothing to do with someone, be fucking honest and ask for a chance. OR, fucking respect their choices. Consent based on a lie is not consent.

God, I'm just sitting here grossing the fuck out.

@Ghost said in Ethical Question:

IS IT ETHICAL to join a bunch of MUs and embed yourself in roleplay with people who don't like you as a means to repair your relationship with them by being cool with them...and then later reveal it was you all along?

Generally, I don't find myself in such ethical quandaries because I have neither the time nor the inclination to try and convince people who don't like me that I am likeable.

@reimesu

Pretty sure that was just a weird badly programmed AI. I deleted the posts because there was nothing substantive there.

Sorry, everyone, that person is now banned for hate speech and flagrant rule-breaking.

NEVER give your address, phone, banking, fullname, general location, business information, etc over pages/chat in MU even if you trust the person because THE DANGER ISNT YOUR FRIEND, BUT THE SERVICE/PROTOCOL YOU ARE USING.

Fixed that for you.

You nerd.

I think that AI can serve useful functions, if used as a tool and not a crutch. AI can really help you solidify grammar and specific writing practices, help you learn to engage in a conversation (especially for pick-your-second-language chatbots or whatever), and just help you get more comfortable with putting words on a screen. It won't ever really entirely replace the creativity of a storyteller, but it can help a storyteller improve their craft.
