Personally I'd say his odds are 100% as long as he writes his story with one word on one square of a chess board, two words on the second square, four words on the next square, eight words next, and so on until he's covered them all.
He wasn't being deceptive, he was being sarcastic. If you had basic reading comprehension you would've understood that after the first post.
Chris is back! (Hi Chris I'm a noob you don't know who enjoys your work.)
Hey that was a semi-decent insult! Getting better already Chris!
Look man, I've embraced my autism. I was trying not to make value judgements, my post was my actual thoughts. I am a creature what contains multitudes, and I'm allowed to acknowledge that I think a story can be stinky on a technical level while also bringing me more joy than displeasure. The only one laying out any tricks and riddles for you here was yourself-- It was you who so badly wanted to believe my post was disagreeing with the others that you were happy to say "Oh, so you liked the story? That's great!" while also saying I was wrong about all the things I actually said about the cornball writing. Personally I'm glad you got the mathematical angle out of it, I keep forgetting That Indian Guy is actually your chosen nom de plume here and so when I was reading this thread I was like, "well as long as we're all just calling him 'that indian guy' I might as well reference the funny Indian legend where a guy gets an impossible task", and if you had been like "that's RACIST!" instead you would have called the mods and got me banned.
I couldn't do a dramatic reading, I nearly died reading just this part!
it's funny to get a reaction. To internet-dwellers, this is peak comedy. He talks like a main character 14-year-old edgelord in a wattpad fanfic.
Trying to figure out who the one with the biohazard tattoo is supposed to be. Petros maybe?
EDIT: Nevermind, it's Anthraxus
Mercer Gang!
1) I'm chronically online
2) I have trolling tendencies
The IP would be difficult, though. Or maybe I'm just dumb for thinking that.
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I think this is a real account. Just some typical 11-14 year old boy behavior.
How dare you? How actually dare you? This is genuinely the most vile post I have ever read on this site, it fills me with a scintillating disgust that freezes my very guts. In your time on this internet you have posted things that have elicited rage and horror in most of the site. You have posted a picture of your breakfast which brought me actually to the verge of vomiting. But this, this is the most viscerally disgusting and genuinely evil thing you've ever posted. You hideous, simpering slime, you obese, walking blob of tripe. I was not like the other CYS members-- I found your maudlin antics funny enough in how cartoonishly pathetic they were that I could never quite fully despise you as the other Cystians did. But in your desperate cloying for an acceptable target, for someone to be lower on the ladder than you, you have revealed yourself to be something worse than a foul-smelling piece of shit. With no one to keep you in check, you have shown the same aptitude and regard for art as a Tolkien orc. Genuinely fuck you. Get the fuck out of here and go suckle from your IV of peanutbutter you fascist swinebeast. Go back to the pits of dirty laundry and used McDonald's cups from which you spawned wetly like an uruk.
ThatIndianGuy might improve to traditional standards some day, he might grow and change in his own organic direction, but what his words are currently is still anything but unreadable swill. His writing is fascinating and hilarious in its own right, if not traditionally good. He is brilliant precisely because no AI could be as naturally funny as he is. I am actually stunned that you find chatgpt more readable. You're the kind of motherfucker to hear Florence Foster Jenkins and be like, "This is so bad. She should model her music more after Wonderwall so that it at least meets the basic baseline quality of bad." I say no, he should not make his art anything like the literal average of every word on the internet combined, that is not good advice for anyone. Not even someone trying to learn the language. I am horrified that this is even a suggestion you made. Just because you have only ever produced meaningless slop does not mean that other people should sacrifice their miraculous strangeness on its plastic altar. Whether or not ThatIndianGuy is a real person, the fact that you thought this would be a genuine avenue of improvement for him in the first place says something very real about you. You fucking slug. I hope the part of you that would suggest something like this perishes before you do.
I'm not sure that's which post he wanted to commend, Ogre.
Ogre is doing a good job I agree
Anyone deserves to be defended against being told their own, authentic writing is worse than ChatGPT-generated swill.
At the very least, you're human. That already means you've beaten the machine in any contest. Don't ever sell your soul to AI.
Like I've said, it's certainly both. I laugh at your work, but this brings me joy. All fiction is kind of a silly thing in the grand scheme, and you can take advice from all sources, but in the end, the objective truth of the matter is that even if I think it's silly, your work has stirred an equal amount of emotion in me by virtue of its silliness than if it had actually been written "well". And I think that gets right to the heart of the matter. What does being a "good" writer offer if it is without the deranged genuinity behind being a goofy ass? Better consistency? McDonald's is consistent, but I don't relish it. I don't remember individual McDonald's burgers I've had. But I do remember burgers at impromptu cookouts that were burnt around the edges, had smashed buns from having been rushed to the park in a cramped cooler next to all the water bottles, piled high with onions and slightly too much ketchup because the goal of the condiments was to cool the meat down faster rather than for its own intentional flavor. And I remember them, distinctly, as an experience more exquisite than even more proper sandwiches. That is the difference.
The others are right. I am laughing at your work, but I am also praising it. It is my opinion that a ridiculous and stupid thing made earnestly has 10,000 times the artistic value of a boring thing made correctly and competently. To say that AI is better at writing than that is a blasphemy against the human soul, from someone who either does not have such a thing, or does have one but is incapable of seeing its value, and I'm not sure which is a worse morbidity to have.
That literally is not what you said. This was the first post of yours that I've actually read in... Almost a year? Aside from my dim, though foul, memories of you as a kid there was no real impression to go on before I read the offending post. And in this post you immediately present a link to ChatGPT, and after that, you make statements that in this post are apparently "obviously" not the case as if they're your real opinions. You stated that AI had a greater chance of improving than he did. On the great wall of shit that you've been called over the years, must we add backpedaling, conniving, quisling to the numberless mass? I don't know what kind of ridiculous attempt to save face this is, you're stumbling over your very words and repeating yourself but then trying to agree with me and redirect your anger at TIG again.
If I am to take you at your word here, you said something that you yourself did not believe, and suggested a course of action you thought he shouldn't take. For what reason? Some kind of moral test? Is this the MrAce Kung Fu Master arc? You've written like two stories that weren't the Manliest Man and now you're ready to start teaching newbies how to write by fucking with them? Prior to like the pandemic or whenever those came out, your ass was in the same position. In fact I don't even remember those games and didn't know they existed during the time of writing that post, so from my perspective you were still in the same boat. And yet you still had the gall! It's really not much better in this light, I'm sorry to say. It seems to me like clear evidence of projection and redirection when you were called out. You really tasted power for a second when everyone was making fun of this guy's ego instead of your own, and looked for the worst insult you could level at him because the sport of banter is just that foreign to you. Shameful display. Go back to clown school.
You know what, that actually is an accomplishment. It's not as magnanimous as you're making it out to be, but it's an accomplishment.
Congratulations! You've done something. That's probably more than a lot of people will submit, even respected members!
Actually finishing a contest entry and turning it in, as long as it's passable, would be a great way to start your time on this site. And a 5k "short" story to boot! You could really be a productive member of society, if you just wisened up a little.
Still not too late to pull out of the bet. Just frame it as you taking mercy on us if that saves your ego.
It's really not worth all of this, is it? Just for an attempt to spite a few people you're ticked at online?
Don't make this your whole thing, Tig. See the light.
That. Exactly that.
Kind of curious to see what TIG ends up showing up with (if he hopefully does). As long as it’s written with passion, even if it’s got a bit of spite behind it, I'm sure it’ll have its own charm.
How are you guys reading it? I want to see what horrible abbomination he is making, but I can't find it.
Go to his profile, click on exp, see 'create game, bastard' click on 'bastard' play game
Thanks everyone for helping me out.
After reading a few bits of it, I think that the story might be decent, but the execution is horrible.
I won't say more in fear of the great and almighty TIG, the master of righting and reading, coming down from the heavens and smiting me for my sins.
Pussy. Have you seen the comment section of his story?
I have wittnessed the atrocities commited against our lord and saviour TIG, fighter of free speach and equal rights for all, no matter their intelect, the angel who has been sent by god to bless this poor, wretched website, and teach us how to write masterpieces like no other. I personaly agree with the bet he as made against the devils who have dared to insult him and wish him the best of luck.
Also, for someone who might not see past the sarcasim, I don't think TIG will win, and belive that he is just being a moron. I just hope that he'll look back on this time in a few years and realize what an idiot he was.
(Apologies for any grammer mistakes I am making, I am typing too fast for my own good, and the spell checker seems to hate me right now.)
Bit off-topic here, but TIG reminds me of the word Tiger, and his behaviour makes me think of a cat that keeps on attacking a porcupine, despite it always ending up with a face full of quills.
Highly doubt this will go anywhere, and I might get laughed at (and feel free to do so), but because of what TIG reminds me of: All in favor of refering to TIG as Tiger from here on out?
I'll stick to street shitter till he's done enough to earn an actual name.
Who am I kidding? He's so banned lol.
Oh, it's not short for Tiger.
lol
Lol, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw TIG
Entirely possible he's working on his story but probably the more disappointing reality is he'll flake out (alt or not).
