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.
