He was genuinely one of the nicest men I've ever met, and he just loved to talk to people; fans, the dude standing next to him at a con, folks attending panels, the whole nine yards. It didn't really matter who you were, he just really enjoyed getting to know people.

There isn't a whole lot we can do about the scraping of our works, but we CAN prevent its usage becoming the norm-- if you love the works of others, please, please please do NOT play around with this website, or tag your favorite creators.

Anyway, the whole point of me sharing this is to warn folks about this scummy company, and how they're trying to scalp creators to basically train their generative AI.
Here's the unlisted video they linked to me, but I'm sure they'll delist it: www.youtube.com/watch?si=Xdw...

Also, after looking up glimmerfics on reddit, the creator has NO qualms when it comes to the usage of bots.

They state here that its 'not' AI, even though it clearly is. You cannot have concern for 'the usage of AI in writing' and then build an entire platform around it, full stop. AI isn't 'adapting' anything here, it's literally writing most of the story.

I took a deeper look at the website and saw that as a reader, you get a free number of 'plays' per day, but then you have to purchase more if you want to.

The guidelines for the payment and content is flimsy at best, as well as underpaid. Obviously, I turned this down-- albeit politely-- but I was pretty skeeved out by this entire thing.

But they straight up admit that it's AI, essentially.

You guide the AI in the directions you want it to go, but I don't think this is genuinely being a 'writer', for obvious reasons, not to mention we all know how AI works for writing.

You add in variables to drive the story tracks, etc. And then you CAN write a little bit, but the AI does most of it for you, since the story is built around what the reader chooses.

You submit the information and descriptions for the character as well as provide the background information.

The video referenced is about 12 min long-- it wont let me download it without a paid youtube sub, but it does, very clearly, lay out how it works, including the fact that you, as the writer, outline it, and the AI writes it for you. Here are some screencaptures:

Looking at the website, they're pretty upfront about what they are-- they aren't hiding how they work, but I asked more questions because I wanted to see what the deal was.

They cold messaged me, asking if I take commissions, and used that as an in to pitch for this website.

I do have a couple of metal ones!!! They aren't always suited for what I need, but I have some; I'll just have to get a little baggie for them again.
