TL;DR: I have a work for which the products I’ve created do not have AI involvement, but the brainstorming and development process does minorly, and I’m having a hard time finding a subreddit where I can ask for help from a human and get a reply.

Hi! So I have posted here before about this, but I don’t want to repost so as to create spam. I’m in a strange position because I have an animated TV show concept for which I’ve written a creative bible and a few sketches. I’ve used AI for the past few months now on it to help me find cultural names and understand the naming conventions, research medical and military details, and locate logic gaps and other potential pitfalls in my work. However, I haven’t included it structurally in either product, and I wrote the creative bible and drew the sketches personally. So, I find myself in a weird edge-case where the products that I have are completely non-AI, while the backend workflow does contain some amount of AI use.

In any case, I’ve posted in a number of different communities the past few days looking for human critique and discussion about it, but I’ve gotten no reply, and I’m running out of viable places to post. I’ve already tried posting in the major AI writing communities that pertain to my work (since it’s not prose exactly, so I don’t think that bookwriting communities and such are appropriate), and most communities that are not AI-centered that I could post in explicitly ban the mention of AI. However, I’m not comfortable introducing my work to people without the disclosure that AI was involved somewhere in the process because I want to respect people’s positions on the matter.

If not here, does anybody know where else I can go for help? Or is there another contributing factor that I’m not seeing that’s locking me out of finding someone to help?

Thank you for reading this whole post if you did!

Hi! So I realize that this is probably not super welcome in this community, but I wanted to ask for some help.

Basically, I’ve been developing a creative work for the past six months or so. I’ve been speaking to ChatGPT about it, but recently, I’ve really wanted to include some human perspectives on my work. I’ve got a weird edge case in that I’ve used AI for research, to detect logic gaps or other similar pitfalls, and to generate cosmetic details (like narrow down names for characters or what books a character might like based on her preference, not structural details). However, I have not used it to make structural decisions, to generate any prose or art, and have written a creative bible and have a couple of sketches for this work without any assistance or generated content from AI.

I would really like to chat with someone about my work to get some critique and discuss my ideas, thoughts, and concerns about it (and also to hopefully share something beautiful with someone), but I don’t want to be dishonest and say that AI never touched it. For anybody who is interested in discussing this work, the work I have to share is not AI-generated, and I will not ask you to engage with any AI-generated content unless you want to see specific chat responses.

This project does contain some disturbing content including violence, death, war, suggestive dialogue or content, nudity, detailed medical and psychological deterioration, personal and institutional abuse, and possibly other explicit material not listed here. If you would not like to engage with this content, this might be a post you want to skip over.

If anybody is interested in helping, thank you so much!

Posting again here because I’ve been using AI for some time now and have recently really started thinking about the ethics.

It’s hard for me to post in creative writing communities because the word AI is explicitly banned from the ones I’ve seen, so I’d like to ask here if anybody could give me a window into what the consensus around AI is actually like in them. Of course, I know that there’s generally negative feelings toward its use and I understand why, but I’ve mostly only seen strawmanning of the individuals in these communities and want to better understand how the spectrum is skewed. I’ve seen opinions from people evaluating creative processes on a case by case basis to some saying that any project that AI has touched in any way is inherently worthless. I want honest opinions, and it’s fine if you’re vehemently against it, as again, as I don’t wish to strawman any one position and if that’s your opinion or the overall consensus of creative communities, then that’s just reality. I have a project (an animated TV show concept) I’ve been working on and speaking to AI about for some months, and I have rules around how deeply it can be involved (no involvement in any products including art, prose, or structural documents, no using it to generate structural ideas, cosmetic details (as in, they could be swapped out without any additional structural changes) must be very limited and grounded in real life such as understanding cultural names or locating books a character may like based on her preference, research must be checked manually before it’s cemented as fact in the final work, any AI use must be disclosed to whatever audience is receiving the products), so I would like to understand because while I understand this work wouldn‘t appeal to everyone, I don’t want to get my hopes up if it would be better to keep this project to myself if the creative spaces I’d like to appeal to don’t want it.

Thanks for reading all this if you did!

Hello!

It’s much more than I can explain here, but basically, I’ve been working for several months on an animated TV show concept and, more specifically, the creative bible pertaining to it. I’ve been chatting about it with AI up until now, but I’d really like to get some human input about its structure in a chatroom where I can explain more.

I should note that this project does contain content that some people may not want to engage with, including abuse, detailed psychophysiological collapse, LGBTQ+ characters, crass language, and possibly other forms of explicit content. If you’re uncomfortable with this content, I can attempt to adjust to that need, but it may be better to skip over this one.

None of the products (such as the creative bible) around this project have any AI-generated writing in them, but I can attempt to clarify my workflow. I primarily use AI as a sounding board and have used it to help me determine research and small cosmetic details, but I’m considering switching over to entire human production in that regard and exclusively using it to discuss ideas, or omitting it altogether, in favor of human critique, discussion, and advice.

I’m not on any kind of schedule and have a lot of content to share, so the pace of this can be as relaxed as necessary. All I ask is that the criticism be kept respectful.

I’d appreciate any interest!
