AI using your writing to train.

Hey writerly friends! Here's your warning that Google is making updates to terms and service allowing them to mine your data and train AI with it. It's focused on emails right now but Google docs facing a similar change is on the horizon.

Keep your eyes peeled for terms of service updates because you've already accepted future changes once you hit accept the first time. Unpublished novels do not have the same copyright protections as published novels and lawsuits are much more difficult to win. I would highly recommend anyone with a large amount of writing in Google docs start removing it from that platform.

If you don't want your writing used to train AI (and to be clear you won't be paid for it) then it's time to start looking at alternatives to Google Docs.

Some thoughts on alternatives

Microsoft Word - unlikely to implement AI training

Microsoft Word is possibly the safest bet at the moment. The Office suite makes most of it's money from corporate licensing. That depends heavily on strict privacy rules. The risk to their reputation is too high to even attempt it on just the personal version of Word. If you want to be very very cautious, get Word Professional as there is ZERO chance of it being used for AI scraping.

$159.99 USD one time purchase OR subscription model for $69.99 per year which comes with all of the Microsoft Office suite and significantly more cloud storage.

Microsoft Word Professional is $439.99 USD. You really don't need it for writing.

Scrivener - unlikely to implement AI training

Scrivener would probably not survive the kind of controversy AI scraping would cause as their customers are exclusively writers.

$59.99 USD one time purchase per platform (if you switched from windows to mac you would need to repurchase.)

Libre Office - read all the terms and conditions or don't risk it.

Libre Office has an AI tool. There are no stories circulating about them scraping user's data but they're not near as big as Google and may not have drawn enough attention yet.

Free! (Which unfortunately makes data scraping more likely.)

Also don't forget:

Platforms like Ao3, Wattpad, Smashwords and possibly even Tumblr are all being targeted by AI companies for data scraping. In fact OpenAI are being sued for doing just that.

Be careful where you post your writing.

That's all folks!

i haven't been able to get sky guardian buenos dias fuckboy out of my head ever since i saw it and ended up creating this long after once seeing this particular full art

Artistic rendition of the scare I just got in Skyward Sword

saw a cybertruck earlier today and both me an my mom reacted to it like seeing an exotic animal in the wild

love how in so many fanworks i see of vio, he's not mentally ok and i just so happened to be reading a very good fanfic series when my friend out of no where said this and i felt it fit :)

Tears of the Kingdom Spoilers:

(please understand i don't know everything about these games)

seeing conversations about tears of the kingdom on if zelda had stayed a dragon the prophecy would've gotten fucked afterwards, but like... what about before? if she's been an immortal dragon then what about all the other zeldas? sure that can be explained away through time travel bullshit but what about dehydrated ganondorf? he's been alive under the castle the whole time, shouldn't that have fucked with the prophecy as well?

this is why i choose to believe that either:

those two just kinda got kicked out of the prophecy due to their circumstances

or

botw/totk are in a completely different timeline than skyward sword and everything after that. no demise. no prophecy. sure the triforce still exists but ehh it's role in a lot of games has always been minor(not saying in all of them mind you) including botw/totk

edit, the second theory also explains why there's both zora and rito at the same time in the ancient past

little bastard creature from a dream/nightmare i had, where it had the ability to "paint" you into the 4th dimension, except your eyes still couldn't see into said dimension so it just looked like you were being cut into or falling apart. If you refused it would scream and chase you like a hound from hell, and it was impossible to escape. If you know SCP-096, it was that minus the death since I woke up before it caught up.

what made it a nightmare is that despite my fear of being chased, my dreams always repeat over and over to "get the best version" of it :(
