08.22.23 | This is a mostly satisfying apology, if you have been dishonest about using AI in the past, then I would also suggest apologizing for that, as well as asking mods to delete any reviews that were written with AI assistance.
If users neg without giving a reason, then yes it can be very frustrating. However, anyone who offers constructive criticism is genuinely trying to help, and I look forward to seeing how you take that criticism in the future. |

Demon of the Fall
08.22.23 | Great that you’re apologising (I’m not aware of all the details so idk). I imagine at least a portion of your negs are in bad faith but if people are offering constructive criticism then that’s fair.
P.S. I’ve only done three reviews and mysterious negs do appear, I asked for them to be removed as I suspected foul play and they reappeared not long after (went from 100% to all of a sudden having each of the three neg’d was very suspect). I’m not going to let it bother me though. |
MarsKid
08.22.23 | Seconded what YoYo said. I would remove any AI-written reviews.
By the end of the day, the community is here for you, and was here for you then. Mort in particular took a lot of time to give you helpful pointers; use that advice to grow. It won't happen overnight--this writing shit takes time and requires patience to perfect--but you start to notice improvement pretty soon.
Use the resources available and don't push them away. Lot of people are doing it to help; they don't have it out for you unless your stubbornness wears on them. |

IDK if this is a meme flying over my head but if not dude who in gods green earth gives a damn how you review. Be honest in your thoughts and opinions but be open to improving upon your own style of writing. The idea of people "reviewing reviews" is a sham that dissuades from ones own honest thoughts imo, albeit it does still help to take the bits and pieces of criticism that you believe will help you find your own voice in writing.
Negs are meaningless without explanation anyway. Hell I remember when sach made a metric load of alt accounts to team neg most of my reviews lmao, shit was funny then and is now. Chin up you fool! |

I believe you can use LLM's responsibly by the way. You can ask it things about music history relevant to the album- it knows more than you think, you can use it as a thesaurus, you can tell it to take your jotted down disparate popsicle stick bulletpoints and glue them into a boilerplate human speak intro>this>then that>however>outro pile of trash but is raw material you can sculpt and cut and rewrite *entirely* instead of the blank page's maw. |

but also re. AI, i've written multiple AI-assisted reviews (none of which are or will ever be published under my staff account) and received zero callouts on it at any point - don't necessarily think it *needs* to be seen as problematic on a user level, so long as it's clearly operating in service of a personal voice (i.e. as long as the AI component is invisible) and not in place of one |

08.22.23 | Dear Tundra,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to express my gratitude for your sincere apology regarding the matter at hand. Your willingness to acknowledge the mistake and take responsibility speaks volumes about your character, and I truly appreciate your effort in addressing the situation.
It's not always easy to admit when we've made a misstep, and your apology demonstrates a level of maturity and respect that I deeply value. While the incident did have an impact, your genuine remorse and commitment to making things right go a long way in mending any rift that may have occurred.
I want you to know that I accept your apology wholeheartedly. Our relationship is built on understanding, empathy, and communication, and I believe that this experience will only strengthen those bonds. Please rest assured that we can move past this incident and continue to build a positive and supportive connection.
Let's use this as an opportunity for growth and learning, both individually and together. Mistakes happen to everyone, but it's how we handle them that truly defines us. I have no doubt that we can move forward in a positive direction, armed with a renewed understanding and appreciation for each other.
Thank you again for taking the time to apologize and for your genuine effort in making amends. I look forward to continuing our journey together with a renewed sense of understanding and unity.
Wishing you all the best,
Egarran

08.22.23 | presuming that’s an AI apology 😆 |
DadKungFu
08.22.23 | It's difficult to ignore the persistent pattern of behavior that raises doubts about the sincerity of your words. The repetitive deflection of blame, the vague language you use, and the consistent effort to downplay the impact of your actions all point to a lack of genuine remorse. It's almost as if your responses have been crafted by some AI tool, programmed to manipulate emotions rather than genuinely express regret. If these apologies truly stem from your own feelings, I urge you to reconsider your approach and show a more authentic side. But if you continue to employ these calculated tactics, it's clear that sincerity is sorely lacking in your words. |

08.22.23 | Not the apology I was expecting, hoping for. You even skirted around apologizing for the behavior around feedback that took place before you started using AI. We all grow up at different paces so I’m not gonna come down on you for that. As far as the writing stuff goes, don’t really care, but I’m glad you’re getting to a place where transparency with your community means something to you, as that certainly bodes well for your character development. I still view myself as an amateur writer in many ways but I’ve got a knack for grammar and proofreading so if you ever want some feedback on your stuff, feel free to hit me up. |

I graciously accept your apology for employing AI in your reviews.

Look at my Velaraas review, I used lots of tools to get the ball rolling and for proofreading but the final piece undeniably human and mine to a fault, I went way overboard indulging in the fun of writing :) try it some time |

I can't help but marvel at your talent for magnifying every minor hiccup into a grand catastrophe. It's almost as if you revel in wallowing in despair and spreading your bleak outlook like a contagious disease. I mean, who needs hope or optimism when we can all just embrace the "instaneg," right? |

08.22.23 | Dear Dad,
I value teamwork and collaboration, as they are essential for our collective success. However, after careful consideration, I believe that I might not be the best fit for a team that includes ToSmok. Our working styles and communication preferences seem to differ significantly, and I believe that for the benefit of the team and the project, it might be better for me to explore other team opportunities.

08.22.23 | Egarran loved nothing more than playing his lute under the blue skies, surrounded by his family's flock of goats. He would strum his strings, improvising melodies that would carry through the hills and valleys, filling the air with sweet notes and harmonies.
There was just one problem; Egarran had a terrible taste in music. While he enjoyed playing his lute, he was oblivious to the fact that his compositions were nothing short of a cacophony to everyone else's ears.
His family and friends would cringe whenever they heard Egarran pick up his lute, hoping to avoid the noise as much as possible. But Egarran remained blissfully unaware, carried away by the joy of his own music.
One day, Egarran learned the hard way that not everyone shared his enthusiasm for his compositions. As he was playing an upbeat tune, he suddenly heard some laughter and jeering from a group of travelers passing by.
Feeling dejected, Egarran put down his lute and retreated to the safety of his family's goat pen, wondering what was wrong with him and his music. He spent the rest of the day in quiet contemplation, trying to understand why he was so out of tune with the world around him.
From that day on, Egarran worked tirelessly to improve his playing, experimenting with different styles and techniques, always seeking to broaden his musical horizons. And while he still had some questionable choices in music, he never gave up on his love for playing the lute. |
DadKungFu
08.22.23 | Dear Egarran,
I hope this message finds you well. I've heard about your decision to resign, and I understand that there have been challenges in your interactions with TOSmokMuzyki. It's important for us to foster a harmonious team environment where everyone can thrive.
Before finalizing your decision, I'd like to propose an alternative approach. How about we arrange a mandatory synergy training session for you and TOSmokMuzyki? This could be an opportunity for both of you to address your differences, improve communication, and find common ground. Our aim is to ensure that every member of our team feels supported and valued.
I believe this effort could lead to a more positive and productive work dynamic. Please let me know your thoughts on this suggestion.
Best regards,
Dad |

08.22.23 | AI has brought both benefits and challenges to the realm of music reviews. On one hand, AI can help process vast amounts of data and identify patterns in music, leading to more objective analyses. However, some argue that AI lacks the emotional connection and nuanced understanding that human reviewers bring to their work. Additionally, the reliance on AI-generated reviews might homogenize opinions and stifle diverse perspectives. Ultimately, a balanced approach that incorporates both AI insights and human expertise could provide a more comprehensive view of music criticism. |

08.23.23 | we apologize for the possible destruction AI may cause in the future. Its potential to replace human labor, its capability of being weaponized, and the risk of it surpassing human intelligence and becoming self-aware pose significant concerns for society. As creators of AI, we must take responsibility for the potential consequences it may bring. Moving forward, it is crucial that we prioritize ethical considerations and ensure that AI is developed and utilized in a manner that aligns with our collective well-being. It is only through responsible development, deployment, and regulation that we can hope to mitigate the risks and allow AI to reach its full potential for the betterment of humanity. |
