There is a lot of fanfic from AI, like Claude AI, and this AI is terrible at coming up with good dialogue. For example, in a Superman & Lois fanfic, Jonathan Kent, who’s 23, gets powers through an accident and becomes a superhero in Metropolis. He’s been active for two years, and when Lois finds out she gets mad and demands answers, feeling entitled to information she doesn’t deserve.

When Jon tells her straight up, “I don’t care about you or your opinion. Leave me alone,” she refuses. And when Jon is verbally mean to her, all the characters treat him hostilely.

I’m sorry, but this is all on Lois. If someone tells you to your face they don’t want you around and you refuse to leave their apartment or leave them alone, then if they verbally abuse you, hurt your feelings, or cuss you out, you kind of deserve it.

There was another story that’s supposed to be a super grounded family drama where this cousin, who’s super far left, finds out her younger cousin is a multi-millionaire lawyer and the head of a law firm. The cousin goes into the law firm (somehow security didn’t stop her) and goes to his office to get answers, and she’s mad he didn’t tell her he’s wealthy. The lawyer eggs her on, makes fun of her, etc.

First of all, this is supposed to be a super realistic drama story, but this entire thing is unrealistic. First, it’s not her business how much money her cousin has. It doesn’t matter if he has a hundred million or a billion; it’s none of her business.

Second, there is no way in hell a random person is walking through the building and going up to his office. It doesn’t matter if she’s his cousin. If she was his wife or kid, maybe, but she’s just a cousin. Security would have aggressively escorted her out. She wouldn’t even make it to his office.

And no lawyer or businessman would give her the time of day. Most lawyers and businesspeople are very mature and professional, so they wouldn’t waste time having a political debate with some random family member. If his security is so bad that she manages to get through the front door, the lawyer would call security and she would be escorted out or arrested.

Overall, the dialogue is just so bad. Characters have such non-reactions to things, or they overreact. AI will constantly have characters say, “That’s not nothing,” when no one talks like that.

They are always melodramatic or overdramatic, or they have such a non-reaction. Characters go from 1 to 100 in the blink of an eye.

Why is AI so bad at this? The characters are so beyond stupid to the point where, even if something bad happens, you don’t feel bad for them because they’re idiots.

 

Would you ever straight up say to your son, ‘You are a disappointment’?

business savvy

mean, it’s false to say Tyler Perry is not a good businessman. He may make shit movies, but he knows the people who like his movies don’t care and will support the slop.

 

Even Dhar Mann has better sets, writing and even to some extent actors. If Tyler Perry is this wealthy he has no excuse to make low quality films.

 

I'm writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.

The dealer kills them because they couldn't pay the money they owed. Then a loved one goes after the dealer for revenge.

Is this good? I didn’t want to overcomplicate it by giving it a huge conspiracy, but at the same time, realistically, couldn’t they have gotten the money some other way?

 

There are people who have legally changed their first names or last names, and some family members will still call them by their birth surname. I find this extremely disrespectful. What makes it worse is that these same people will say we need to respect people’s pronouns and respect them, but they don’t respect someone changing their name? If they don’t respect calling people by their new names, then don’t get mad when people don’t respect people’s pronouns. I’ll go a step further: if those people who don’t respect people’s names or pronouns are called a racial slur, I don’t care and feel no sympathy. If it’s okay for them to be disrespectful to people, then they can be disrespected too.

 

Grooming and predatory behavior toward minors are very real, traumatic, and deeply harmful issues. But online—especially on platforms like Twitter and Reddit—those terms often get thrown around to describe situations involving fully grown adults, like someone in their 40s, 50s, or 60s dating a person who is 22–26.

If someone thinks that kind of age gap is weird or uncomfortable, that’s their opinion. But using terms like “grooming” or “pedophilia” in that context is inaccurate and dismissive of what those words actually mean. Those terms refer to adults targeting children or minors. When people hear “grooming” or “pedo,” they understandably assume it involves someone going after literal children.

A 22–26-year-old is an adult—especially someone who is 24, 25, or 26. They are legally and developmentally old enough to consent to relationships and sexual activity. If a 25-year-old chooses to date or sleep with a 60-year-old, others might judge it, but it is still a consensual adult relationship.

There’s also a contradiction that sometimes shows up in these conversations. On one hand, people argue that a 25-year-old woman is a fully grown adult capable of making her own decisions. On the other hand, when she dates someone much older, some of those same voices imply she’s too naïve or childlike to consent—by using language like “groomed” or “predatory.”

Using words like “pedo” or “grooming” about a 25-year-old dating someone older essentially equates that adult to a child who cannot legally or ethically consent. That comparison minimizes the seriousness of actual abuse cases and can be insulting to real victims.

It’s fair to critique power dynamics or question large age gaps. But it’s important to use accurate language and not dilute terms that describe real harm.
