found the guy that all ai art trains off of
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!”
Tell him that his reach exceeds his grasp
Ask him about his novel and then go, “Oh that’s already been done.”
I don’t know anything about writing but damn 💔
Magical realism is just fantasy for cowards
