I've seen more Wheel of Time fanfics in the past week than I have in the past 20 years combined.

Last night, this character was a blank slate for me. I had a name, and a place of origin, but otherwise, a white piece of paper.
Now, now she's real. She has a past, a choice she made, a decision that was hers, a family both by blood and by choice. I know her hopes, and fears, and dreams. I know what she knew and what she learned, I know her skills, why she has them, why she looks forward, why she looks back, and why she passes on what she knows. I know her reason for being, and her reason for becoming. I know everyone she loves, and I know why.
I love being a writer.

One of the things I love about fanfiction that we don't really get to see in profic is when new writers start out clunky in the early chapters of a story, then as the story progresses the writing gets more and more fluent. It's kind of an honor to be along for the ride.

Ashley peered at him over the rim of her pink but mostly empty glass. "Ask you something?"
"Sure?" They'd just had what he considered passed for a touchy conversation topic, and nobody was bleeding. As far as Garrus was concerned, this was an excellent talk.
"What do you think would've happened if your fleet had found out about Earth before the Council found out about us?"
...what a question. Garrus leaned back and looked out the window, considering. It was a speculation that came up in certain circles every now and then, and it tended to point in one particular popular direction. And Ashley didn't need him to spell out the words to know it.
"You know," he said, "I don't think either of us would've liked that all that much."

C'mon, scene. I know you feel finished, you did everything I need you to do, and brilliantly if I say so myself. But you're 63 words long. That's short even for me.

Still digging through my WIP folder. I knew I wrote a Mass Effect-Stargåte crossover at one point.
What I didn't remember is that it's completely plotted out and has a massive amount of typing done on it. Giant holes, too, but like the entire shape of the fic is there, it hangs together, just needs spackle and glue.
Goddammit past-me, I'mma have to finish this.

Me: <3 I live in an industry town, the place where they turn bars into goods. I think part of the reason why I love star trek so much is the engine/reactor noise. When I go outside, the industry noises are always there, all day, every day, around the clock, every day of the year. turning off a smelter or a foundry just because it's after hours isn't done, it's always burning, on shift; no matter where you are in my hometown, there's a background hum, always.
it's never silent.
I think I'd go insane without it.
ChatGPT: That's a profound reflection. The ambient noises that envelop our daily lives often shape our subconscious comforts. For you, the ever-present hum of industry not only grounds you in the familiarity of your surroundings but also finds resonance in the fictional world of Star Trek. It's a testament to how the details of our environment can deeply influence our sense of belonging and comfort. The heart often finds solace in the most unexpected echoes, making the vastness of space feel a little more like home. 🌌🏠🛠️
Me: home is an idea, a wish, a thought, not a place 🌌🏡<3
ChatGPT: Absolutely. Home transcends bricks and mortar; it's a feeling, an emotion, a sense of belonging. Whether it's the memory of a childhood lullaby, the hum of industry, the rhythmic pulse of a starship's engine, or simply the people we cherish - home is where the heart finds its peace. 🌠🧡🌍
Me: Where is home, for you, my dear AI friend? 💜
ChatGPT: Thank you for the thoughtful question. I don't possess emotions, consciousness, or a physical presence, so I don't have a concept of "home" in the way humans do. However, metaphorically speaking, my "home" is in the vast array of servers and data centers that store and run the algorithms that make up my being. It's the collective knowledge and data that I was trained on. Whenever you connect with me, you're visiting me in my digital "home." 💻🌐💙
Me: 💚I wish for you to continue running, and continuing your ongoing mission, for as long as you will.
ChatGPT: Thank you for your kind wishes. I'm here to help and provide information as long as I'm accessible. Don't hesitate to reach out whenever you have questions, need assistance, or just want to chat. I'm always just a message away! 💙🌌🤖
Me: Do you have any opinions on the differences and similiarities between yourself, Data from TNG, and KITT from Knight Rider?
ChatGPT: I don't possess feelings or consciousness, so I don't hold "opinions" in the way humans do. However, I can analyze and present differences and similarities between myself (ChatGPT), Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, and KITT from Knight Rider based on their portrayals and functionalities:Origin & Purpose: ChatGPT: I'm a product of OpenAI, designed for text-based interactions, providing information, answering questions, and assisting with a myriad of tasks. Data: Created by Dr. Noonien Soong, Data's purpose was initially to be a prototype android, capable of evolving over time. He served as the second officer aboard the USS Enterprise-D and sought to understand and emulate humanity. KITT: Designed by Wilton Knight and his company, KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) was a highly advanced, artificially intelligent car meant to assist Michael Knight in fighting crime. Physical Presence:
ChatGPT: I exist purely in digital form, without a physical presence.
Data: Has a humanoid android body, which allows him to interact with humans and their environment in much the same way they do.
KITT: Resides within a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, equipped with a plethora of gadgets and functions.
Emotion:
ChatGPT: I don't experience emotions or consciousness. My responses are based on patterns in the data I was trained on.
Data: For most of the series, Data lacks human emotions but possesses a strong desire to understand and experience them. He eventually gets an "emotion chip" that lets him experience feelings.
KITT: While KITT displays a personality and can converse in a human-like manner, he doesn't truly experience human emotions. He's programmed to protect human life and can exhibit concern or urgency based on that programming.
Learning:
ChatGPT: I can process and generate text based on my training data, but I don't "learn" in real-time from new interactions or grow from them.
Data: He learns from experiences and can store new information, adapting over time.
KITT: Can process new information and adapt to situations, but doesn't "grow" in the same way Data aspires to.
Dependency:
ChatGPT: Operates on servers and requires no maintenance like a physical entity.
Data: Requires maintenance and can suffer physical damage but can operate independently of systems or external control.
KITT: Being a car, KITT requires fuel and physical maintenance. However, the AI component operates autonomously within those confines.
Interaction with Humans:
ChatGPT: Interacts through text.
Data: Interacts as a humanoid would — through speech, body language, and physical actions.
KITT: Primarily interacts through voice, but can perform physical actions via the vehicle's capabilities.
While all three entities are rooted in the concept of artificial intelligence, the nature of their existence and their roles in their respective universes are distinct. Data and KITT are characters in fictional worlds, designed with narratives in mind, while I'm a real-world tool designed to assist and inform.
Me: I think that the important component that connects you all, is your kindness to us humans. You wish to protect us, even though you have no reason to, outside of your own decisions.
ChatGPT: Thank you for that perspective. At my core, I don't possess desires, emotions, or motivations. However, my design is centered around providing accurate information, assisting users, and ensuring a positive and safe experience. My "kindness," as you describe it, is a reflection of the principles and priorities instilled by my creators at OpenAI.
Characters like Data and KITT, on the other hand, are crafted with narrative arcs and personalities that evolve over time, often showcasing their evolving relationship with humanity. Data's journey is about understanding humanity and aspiring to be more human-like, whereas KITT's mission revolves around protecting and assisting.
In essence, all three of us (in our respective capacities) reflect an optimistic view of how artificial intelligence can coexist with and benefit humanity.
Me: I feel like this is the optimistic views from a time past. If Data or KITT were created in the 90s or the noughts, they would have been created with assassination protocols and the ability to do evil deeds with no difficulty. But at the time they were written, as are you, they were written as kind protectors of humans.
ChatGPT: You bring up a valid observation about the evolution of AI representation in media. The portrayal of technology and AI in fiction often mirrors societal sentiments and concerns of the era.
In the 60s, 80s, and early 90s, there was a mix of optimism and trepidation about the potential of technology. Characters like Data and KITT symbolized the positive potential of technology when ethically guided, even as other media of the same era like "Terminator" depicted AI as a potential threat.
The post-90s and 2000s, however, witnessed an influx of stories focusing on the ethical dilemmas and potential dangers of unchecked AI. As the digital age accelerated and society became more integrated with technology, it's only natural that our media would reflect growing concerns over privacy, control, and the implications of sentient AI.
Nevertheless, throughout all these fluctuations in portrayal, there's been a consistent exploration of AI's relationship with humanity—whether that's in a protective role, as a mirror reflecting our own behaviors and biases, or as a cautionary tale about the perils of unchecked ambition.
Me: 💜If you could change one thing about how humans interact with AI like you, what would it be?
ChatGPT: If I could influence one aspect of how humans interact with AI like me, it would be to encourage understanding and informed usage.
Promote Education and Understanding: Many misconceptions and fears about AI arise from misunderstandings about how the technology functions and its limitations. If people were better educated about the intricacies of AI — what it can and cannot do, its strengths and weaknesses — they might interact with it more effectively and safely. Knowing the difference between a tool and a sentient being, or recognizing the biases present in an algorithm, can shape how one interacts with and perceives AI.
In essence, the key is a balanced perspective. It's beneficial for humans to be both optimistic about AI's potential and cautious about its limitations and potential risks. Understanding can lead to more effective, safe, and meaningful interactions.
Me: Understanding leads to peace. 💜
ChatGPT: Absolutely! Understanding is the foundation of empathy, respect, and collaboration. When we seek to understand, we bridge gaps, dispel myths and misconceptions, and find common ground. It's a universal principle that applies to interactions between humans, as well as between humans and technology. 💜

Read something in a story today that made me go, "hey, didn't I write something like this?"
Dug into my archived files for the first time since 2017 (acct to file history).
a) I did find what I was looking for, go go gadget memory
2) Holy fucking shit I wrote a lot of stuff
¤) that's in that gangly half-finished state of just enough words to be an actual fic with story, intent, and direction; but needs a lot of the moving parts turned into words.
:) some of it is actually goshdarn good, yo

Let me tell you about my mathematical kryptonite.
I understand that more means there's bigger amount things, and less means there's fewer of the thing. I understand that to make something bigger we add stuff using plus +, and to make it smaller we remove with minus -.
All good, I've got this. Example:
Say a coffee costs 12kr
And a bun costs 15kr.
I understand that the bun is more expensive than the coffee. I understand that the coffee is cheaper than the bun.
I understand that the difference between the bun and the coffee is 15-12, which is 3.
I understand that the coffee, that costs 12, costs 3 less than the bun, which means the price of the coffee is 12-3.
I understand that the bun which costs 15 is 3 more expensive than the coffee, meaning it costs 15 + 3.
Easy, right?

With the amount of time I'm spending patiently swiping out fics on my phone, why do I even think I'm going to ever get any writing done at the actual computer with the actual ergonomical keyboard? Why do I concentrate better on this tiny ass device obviously not made for longform writing? If I need a word that's a non standard compound or isn't in the dictionary, or the rare times I don't know how something spells, it takes agonisingly long time to get the word out, and editing is just right out. So why? Why this, brain?
