Thanks for the Mention! 'Top in Fiction' and 'The Booster Club' are fantastic projects I've been promoting a lot. They're really helping Fiction to thrive and become more visible on here, and are both wonderful places to showcase your own work and to explore the work of others... 😎

Can I submit my serial novel again?

Sorry about that. I had asked you a couple times about your use of AI. I could see that the animated images were AI generated, which calls the text into question. AI is such a threat to writers, that I avoid promoting it and those who use it. Yes, go ahead and post to the book. Is there some way to not include those elephant images?

Yes, here's the post with all the collected chapters. I'll post it as plain text but I think the images may show up. Here goes...

I recommend a writer named

JRC Creasy

Also, if possible, another writer named The Common Centrist.

And I see your comment below--I actually didn't know using AI-generated images gave off the impression that I use AI LLMs to write. If you decide to look at my writing profile, please don't use that frame of reference due to my misunderstanding of the online world as it changes. I would never use AI LLMs as a tool to write only research, and even then, it is research to find a book, an author, the origin of a quote, etc. I appreciate what you do for other writers! It is very kind!

Your comment here has prompted me to change my list designation from dhw (definitely human written) to dhc (definitely human created), that is, no AI involvement (text, images, videos, and music). However, if people use AI to do research, well, all I can say is they are better off using Startpage. Lots of stories out lately of AI feeding some weird results back. As for using AI for image generation giving doubt to the text — most definitely! Best wishes on your writing.

You can say what you wish about content creation but AI LLMs have utility in research. You just have to be careful. Like any other type of research. There are parts of the internet you won't cite. As there are results of AI you won't use.

Thank you. Best of luck on your DHC.

Sigh. I totally disagree. AI is too controllable by the programmers to give certain results, as has been shown in recent news stories. We must go by facts, not rationalization.
