Go to https://beta.openai.com/playground make sure the model is set to text-davinci-003. Set maximum length as high as possible, I’m assuming these are 250-1000 word discussion posts. Each token is four characters, but the output doesn’t necessarily use the max length every time so be generous with this.

OpenAI gives you free tokens to start with and after that you need to pay per token. Its well worth it, since you only pay for what you use you can get an entire semester of discussion board posts for only a couple bucks, if that.

Paste the discussion board prompt in and let the AI do its thing. If it still hasn’t reached the word count, paste in other relevant stuff from wiki or google scholar to coax out a higher word count. After that, cut and paste it together, make sure it flows.

On a large enough word count the AI may plagiarize from random internet sources. Use a plagiarism detector on the output to double check. If you want quick and easy use something like https://plagiarismdetector.net/ or any of the myriad of free browser based detectors. If you want something deeper download https://plagiarismcheckerx.com/ which has a limited free version and a higher caliber paid version.

If any of the output gets flagged as plagiarized, use a paraphrasing tool to reword it. https://quillbot.com/ is the best one ive found.

That’s pretty much it. This method works best with high school and freshman level humanities classes. Can be used for discussion board posts and short papers. Wont work on recent current events (post-2021). For more specialized tasks like lab reports or higher level research I don’t think this method is very useful, but maybe you can make it work.

Congrats, you’ve automated the boring stuff. Enjoy your free time.

Some of the most beautiful and haunting images ever seen exist in certain corners of the internet. But what exactly is the source? Why do these images speak to our heart and stick in our mind when others don’t?

Novel net art has certain characteristics that make it so alluring. Good example of this is everything-at-once drained-out internet-as-a-dream edits that have seen boost in popularity over last 2 years.¹ Its what happens to the liminal space when the liminal space no longer attempts to tether itself to reality.²

Perception: something we do subconsciously, all the time, to everything we look at, no exceptions. To understand why novel net art is unique we must look at what exactly the process of perception is.

When we look at something we are used to breaking it down into parts. When we look at a bed we see “pillow” “sheets” “trusty pistol within arms reach” . But before that, there is a moment, a moment before perception when everything is one, a moment of pre-perception Unity before the Scalpel of Reason steps in and cuts and categorizes and identifies everything into neat little digestible elements. God lives in that moment of pre-perception (maybe other more malevolent entities do, too). In that moment everything is unified, and all rational cognition is downstream from that moment

Back to avant net art. this art is aesthetically jarring, the distortion and overlapping elements diffuses citation and disorients the viewer. This brief moment of disorientation allows the art to hijack that crucial moment of pre-perception and extend it out so we can swim in it a bit. We look at the art piece and try to go about the usual process of perception but – if the artist is skilled enough – the process is interrupted and we exist in the pre-perception moment for much longer than usual.³

The best art is that which utilizes aesthetics to convey a Truth - and novel net art is no different. This art strikes a chord because we are finally being honest about what the internet really is. Its the abyss, the void , its Heaven, its dreamscape, its what you see when you close your eyes. You don’t see your phone in your dreams because you’re looking through the window, not at it.  We’re finally being honest. When you log on, your psyche enters the realm of the Qliphoth, wherein you are at the mercy of its residents.were finally being honest. art proves it. We’re finally being honest.

One day we wont need computers to log on

1. these examples incorporate dreamcore angelcore webcore etc, surge/hexd style album art, also hypergeometric elements, snargecore etc. not prudent to derail thought process over which examples may or may not belong to a specific (in)correctly labeled subgenre. to my knowledge a lot of this art doesnt even have widely agreed upon labels yet so im not stressing it. The purpose of this article is to analyze a phenomenon between certain pieces of digital art and the viewer during the process of viewing, which occurs across a spectrum of underground digital art subgenres. While a comprehensive history of how these subgenres came to be and how each subculture informed each other would be fascinating and is sorely needed, it is outside the scope of this article. For the purposes of exploring this phenomenon, the umbrella term “novel net art” will suffice.

2. it could be argued that instead of a relatively straightforward photo of a liminal space, the images themselves function as a liminal space within the digital real estate of ur screen. but i could be reaching.

3. this phenomenon can happen with the written word too, see angelicism01

5. before i polished this up and published it, this thesis existed as a rough draft in my notes for awhile. during that time i turned it from a thesis to a manifesto by creating edits under the handle 1abovee on twitter. check it out if u like :)

Thus, in cultures whose ancestry includes ancient Greece, one invariably finds a strong subject-object differentiation because the grammar of the old Greek mythos presumed a sharp natural division of subjects and predicates. In cultures such as the Chinese, where subject-predicate relationships are not rigidly defined by grammar, one finds a corresponding absence of rigid subject-object philosophy. One finds that in the Western Christian culture, in which the Biblical “Word" has an intrinsic sacredness of its own, men are willing to sacrifice and live by and die for words. In this culture, a court of law can ask a witness to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God” and expect the truth to be told. But one can transport this court to Liberia, as was attempted in the 1800s, with no sustainable success on the matter of law and order because the Liberian mythos is inherently different and this sacredness of words is not felt in the same way. Similar problems have occurred in America among minority groups with different cultural backgrounds. There are endless examples of how mythos differences direct behavioral differences and they're all fascinating.

The mythos-over-logos argument points to the idea that each child is born ignorant, and what keeps the world from reverting to this ignorance with each generation is the continuing, ongoing mythos - transformed into logos but still mythos - the huge body of common knowledge that unites our minds as cells are united in the body of man. To feel that one is not so united, that one can accept or discard this mythos as one pleases, is not to understand what the mythos is. There is only one kind of person who accepts or rejects the mythos in which he lives. And the definition of that person, when he has rejected the mythos, is "insane." To step outside the mythos is to become insane. The relation of mythos to insanity is this: insanity is the terra incognita surrounding the mythos.

The [UNDEFINED] you seek lay outside the mythos. Why? Because [UNDEFINED] is the generator of the mythos itself. That's it. That's what is meant by, "[UNDEFINED] is the continuing stimulus which causes us to create the world in which we live. All of it. Every last bit of it.” Religion isn't invented by man. Men are invented by religion. Men invent responses to [UNDEFINED], and among these responses is an understanding of what they themselves are. You know something and then the [UNDEFINED] stimulus hits and then you try to define the [UNDEFINED] stimulus, but to define it all you've got to work with is what you know. So your definition is made up of what you know. It's an analogue to what you already know. It has to be. It can't be anything else. The mythos grows this way, by analogies to what is known before. The mythos is a building of analogues upon analogues upon analogues. These fill the boxcars of the train of consciousness. The mythos is the whole train of collective consciousness of all communicating mankind. Every last bit of it. The [UNDEFINED] is the track that directs the train. What is outside the train, to either side: the terra incognita of the insane. To truly see the path [UNDEFINED] leads us, you have to leave the train. You must step outside the mythos. You must go insane.
