First panel An arcade game labeled: discourage donkey Kong from pursuing a literary career.
Second panel: donkey Kong saying “rargh! I’m writing a magical realist novel about a candlemaker who befriends a haunted mandolin”
Third panel: a large button labeled “criticize the ape’s turgid prose” being pushed
Fourth panel donkey Kong standing on the end game screen ”your words cut deep. Donkey has dropped out of his MFA program.”
What do the other buttons do?
Encourages him to find work as copy writer to pay the bills until he hits his “big break”
- left: introduce him to his post-MFA career options
- right: “have you written anything I’ve heard of?”
- up: tell them they write just like their teachers
- down: “I can do the same thing… using AI!”
Ask him about his novel and then go, “Oh that’s already been done.”
Tell him that his reach exceeds his grasp
found the guy that all ai art trains off of
I don’t know anything about writing but damn 💔
Magical realism is just fantasy for cowards
