Listen: Do NOT Try Me

Your writing has hallmarks of AI.....

What's it to you? You're a SPY!

Nope! But there ARE rules... here's the intel.

I'll write what I want- go to hell!

AI IS permitted, just needs to be attributed...

What?! How dare you stop my work from being distributed??!!!

Nope- not doing that, just sharing the rules.....

How dare you? Those are just for no-talent fools!

Well, while we're at it; about all the comments you 'copy paste'...

Not Duplicate! All Original! You're a bully, BOLD-FACED!!!

Dude, this smoke screen you're building seems meant to distort...

Bully! Humiliator! We all agree you are BAD! REPORT!!!

~

OK; I've said what I said, now you do what you'll do...

I'll spend the next hour leaving posts, taunting you!

Or you could, I dunno , follow the rules that exist.....

I won't stop until you're on the BLACKLIST!

What's that quote? "Methinks thou protesteth too much...?"

I'm commenting on ALL THE THINGS, One a minute, or such!

Listen mister, you're giving me way too much credit....

You'll be sorry you told me how to copy-edit!

Whatever: the comments you write are all scripts...

So? Who care? I want the Leaderboard and many, many tips!

And (at least some) of your content unattributed AI...

What's it to you? I don't need to comply.

~

What are you to me? Why not much at all....

I speak for the masses; we all want you to fall!

Sure, ok. I do hope that's not true....

And on behalf of them I'll just keep hounding you.

This is getting nowhere, you'll never be part of the community

I don't believe You! Or Standards! I act with impunity!

This poem is the last time to you I'll respond

I did it! I won! You're all conned!

~

Although this has been a real crimp in my day....

I'll write what I write and I'll say what I say!

You can have the last line and get the last word

I'll make that Leaderboard- YEAH! My dream won't be deterred!

~

If you all don't know what this is about, well- I am happy for you. Today has been a massive pain in the ass.

I leave you with this:

I am a paying Vocal+ member, and also have chosen to be a (very small) investor in the Vocal platform. Receiving reads and meaningful comments is important to me, and only possible if readers interact with my content.

Clogging the site with unattributed AI-generated pieces pushes down genuine content, cheapens the experience, and is a needless distraction to platform writer/creators.

Copying and pasting lengthy or (and to use their own word) 'complex' pointless comments, placing them on Top Stories without making any connection to the content in order to attain Leaderboard rewards or pretend interaction... it's wrong.

It could also lead to someone looking closely at the rest of the content a person had written... say well over 90 pieces (including a winning Challenge) within the past 30-ish days.

I believe AI is a tool, and I accept and understand that is is permissible on the platform. Adhering to the Standards to use it, to attribute it, is part of responsible usage.
