Hi! Nir sure if you’re still doing this, but could you write a fic for #5?

https://www.tumblr.com/creativepromptsforwriting/747107292324986880/dialogue-responses

I just want to say anon I am sitting on something and I am trying my best to write an answer for you! To say the well has truly dried up feels somewhat of an understatement - but I hope to have a wee drabble for you soon(ish)! I'm sorry I'm not as prompt as I used to be.

For now, a wee excerpt:

Tim missed the checkout time at the front desk, scrambling to pay for another day’s fee. He choked a little as the tired receptionist swiped his card, but he quickly forgot the cost of sleeping in as he bolted out of the motel, overloaded backpack bouncing painfully against his spine.

He stumbled over his own feet as he turned the corner into the parking lot. The van was still in place, and Stephanie was bowed over the front, head pressed against the wheel.

She didn’t move as Tim slowly approached, but she was breathing, so that was something. He lingered on the driver’s side, watching her grip the wheel very tightly. It was muffled, but she seemed to be talking to herself.

He rapped on the window and suppressed a grimace as Stephanie jumped a mile.

She gawped at him through the glass, whiter than a sheet, then clumsily moved to crank down the handle and lower the window.

Her eyes were red.

Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".

Summary:

Marinette's mission was simple: help Tikki. But when she uncovers explosive secrets long buried by the rulers of Paris, her entire world tilts. Betrayed and torn, Marinette faces a harrowing choice—save herself or risk it all for the city that has taken everything from her.

Adrien's quest for revenge for his mother's mysterious death takes a dark turn when he discovers the true mastermind behind the tragedy. Determined to make them pay, Adrien realizes that to achieve his goal he must play the long game.

As both fight their own battles, Marinette and Adrien find their paths entwined, often at odds. If they could only align their goals, they might find a way to change the course of their city's future and maybe theirs too.

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

The allure of AI entices those people who fetishize ideas but dismiss the work. They're the people who tell writers, "I'll give you the idea, then you write it, and we'll split the profits." For them, the vision is everything, and the work is just an annoying obstacle. But the WORK is everything. The work is how a thing happens, where it's made, where skill is put to work. AI in creativity is for the people who have no skill, no work, no effort, no ethic. They just want to push a button.
