Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Oh, goodie, the witch hunt analogy. That's always productive.
Look, given the only time we ever see plagiarism getting caught is when someone's familiar with both stories, there's probably a lot of undisputed, human-on-human plagiarism which is getting away unnoticed. So until QQ starts...
That’s one possible argument, sure. I’d say the fraud is still a problem even if you’re not taking credit for another person’s work.
Yes, and? I explained why I made the thread. What I’m struggling to understand is why it’s so important that you - or whatever hypothetical editor you’re...
I mean, I think I've made my position clear. If it's solely going off of what you've made, it's an editing tool. If it's making things for you, it's not.
Okay, yes, I'd say that's absolutely the kind of thing you need to say is AI-generated. Because it's no different than inserting a stock...
The original example we were talking about is someone who can’t be arsed to write a smut scene in their story and farms it out to the ‘bot. But I would absolutely say getting the first draft out is making it into a co-author the same way having someone else write a story for you is.
Okay, I...
So, the problem with these analogies is that they’re conflating the role of author and editor. A decent editor will check through your work and point out your mistakes. A good editor will suggest things that work better, up to and including partial rewrites. But once your editor starts doing...
I suppose uncredited isn’t exactly the term
I wanted. I’m not sure what a better one is, though. The problem is the deceit, in passing it off as your own work. For instance, I post to the various image threads a lot. When I can, and it’s not in the image proper, I try to post the source. But I...
Hopefully, this is the dumbest question you have to answer for a while. Is uncredited AI writing plagiarism? That is, not simply posting AI writing, but claiming that it’s your own original work, or posting it without attribution in a way where people would assume it’s original rather than you...
