there's a new wave of ppl on tiktok saying instead of using AI you should just straight up copy/paste fiction from real authors for your own works, as if that's any better
so that’s plagiarism and a direct violation of ao3’s terms of service—ao3 allows ai-generated works, but it doesn’t allow direct plagiarism—and of any other platform’s rules too. also you (general you) can face legal repercussions for this.
not to mention, fanfic writers are real authors. just because fanfics cannot be monetized doesn’t mean authors who write aren’t real authors. I’ve already talked about this here.
