I want to see how many of us are out there.

protect em dashes.

protect “not x, not y, but z” format.

protect short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice.

protect fanfic writers—who are kind enough to share their works with people to read for free—from ai witch hunts, speculations and accusations.

“don’t like don’t read” also applies to any fic that is ai-generated and any fic you think is ai-generated by the way. if you don’t like what you’re reading for any reason, you can always stop reading and exit the fic at any point. but harassment is never ever justified. no matter if you think you’ve found a noble excuse to do it. and also…

witch hunts, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does. if not more. I don’t want to see another innocent writer get driven away from the community because someone decides to harass and accuse them for using ai just because their fic happens to have “ai telltales” — the same telltales ai got from having been trained on millions of human-made works to mimic how real humans actually write.

If a fanfic writer uses ChatGPT and/or Gemini to help them with fixing their typos and grammatical mistakes, but everything else (the entire fic) is written entirely by them, a human writer, is the fic considered human-made or AI-generated in your opinion?

It’s human-made, because a human writes the fic

It’s AI-generated, because AI has touched the fic

You can disagree with the author’s choice. You can think it’s stupid and in poor taste. But tbh if the fic was written by a human then it’s human-made. It’s that simple.

If I write a sentence “she doesn’t loves him anymore” then that sentence is human-made because I as a human came up with it and wrote it. If, hypothetically, I ask ChatGPT if my sentence is grammatically correct and ChatGPT tells me no, it should be “she doesn’t love him anymore”. Then that doesn’t mean ChatGPT writes that sentence for me. It doesn’t mean ChatGPT came up with that sentence. My sentence is still mine, still something I came up with and wrote. ChatGPT just points out my grammatical mistake.

So in this case it’s the same as having a human editor. Only that instead of a human editor, it’s a robot editor. But that doesn’t mean the work was generated by a robot.

It’s a shame that the other turns to AI for help, but that’s their choice. And the poll doesn’t ask about if you think it’s ethical for them to do that so

Blame it on the pot

Stiles stared at the burnt dinner with open disgust. “You’re a mature adult, Derek. How did you set water on fire?”

Derek folded his arms. “The pot was defective.”

“The pot was empty.”

“That seems like a design flaw.”

Stiles tried to remain annoyed, but Derek’s vacuous expression was too deliberate. He was pretending not to understand because he knew it made Stiles laugh.

“You’re impossible,” Stiles muttered.

Derek stepped closer. “You’re still here.”

Stiles smiled and tugged him down by the collar. “Only because someone has to order pizza.”

Derek kissed him. “Extra pepperoni?”

“Obviously.”

okay so for the first time i got a negative comment on a fanfic i wrote. i think the user was offended that i made reader a minor, and suggested that i age her up. did i do something wrong?

thank you for your time!

❝ nothing anyone can write—no matter how shockingly disgusting or how morally messed up—is ever wrong as long as it’s fiction. ❞

if you write for strangers’ approval then sure, you can do what these strangers want. to please them. but if you write for yourself and your own enjoyment then you can kindly tell them to fuck off and go write whatever they want to read themself

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

hey so. don’t do this.

“coming from a place of respect” there is nothing respectful about a comment like this. this is exactly why I say witch hunt, speculations and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more.

I am not saying “you’re an asshole if you think a fic is ai”. I have come across fics that I believe were ai-generated. but instead of asking (accusing) the authors, I make my own decisions whether I’ll continue reading for the benefit of the doubt or quietly exit the fics and look for something else to read.

because with every accusation like this, there’s always a chance of a genuine, innocent writer getting wrongly accused.

last but not least, fanfic writers do NOT owe you anything. they write for themselves and their own enjoyment. their ao3 accounts are their houses and they were kind enough to let you in their houses. for free. (you get to read things for free.) you don’t go into other people’s houses and tell them “actually I think the way you decorate your room is sus. did you actually do it yourself or did you ask a robot to do it for you?”. THEY 👏🏻 DON’T 👏🏻 OWE 👏🏻 YOU 👏🏻 ANYTHING. and I say this as someone who is not a fan of ai fics. if you don’t like what you’re seeing, quietly leave.

*the following is not about the fic in this specific post. in general, I still strongly believe people who let ai write for them should tag their works as ai accordingly. but if we want more people to be honest about it, we’ll have to stop shaming and harassing people who actually tag their ai-generated fics accordingly. harassment is never justified. not to mention, it will only make “ai writers” refrain from tagging their ai-generated works as such. and then there’s no way for anyone to know for absolute certainty if it’s ai. therefore the raise of witch hunt.

I just came across two "authors" that have written fics Im interested in.. and I rigured out they used ai for the whole thing

How should I deal with blogs like that? Do I report them? Block them? Should I do anything at all?

Because I commented on the first fic asking if its ai and they blocked me so I cant even protect anyone else from reading that because I forgot their name

And on the second fic I commented I asked the same thing and they suddenly deleted all of their post but they had a full ass masterlist

Is asking about ai an insult now? Cuz i dont want to blame this people out of the blue Im asking, but they are quicker to get offended then to defending "their" work..

Am I the crazy one??

can I be honest? you are in the wrong here. I stand with the two authors, and I’m glad they blocked you.

you said you “asked if their works are ai” which means the authors did not specifically say their works were ai-generated, meaning you guessed, based on vibes, and then you threw an accusation at them. I have already talked about why it’s rude, entitled and insulting for someone to ask a writer if their works are ai-generated here, here and here.

and I have said time and time again that “ai witch hunt, speculation and accusations harm the writing community as much as ai does, if not more”.

so whether or not you know it, you are harming the writing community — just like ai does, if not more — by going around asking random writers if their works are ai, as if writers owe you anything (fun fact: they do NOT owe you anything).

every “ai telltale” is something human writers write. what do you think ai was trained on? what do you think it was trained to mimic?

“how do I deal with this?” by curating your own internet experience. block them if that’s what you want (you can block anybody for any reason). it’s not your problem or your business how a writer writes, whether or not they use ai.

no, I am not a fan of ai, but I can accept that if someone chooses to let ai write everything for them, then that is their business. do I agree with them? no. will I harass them for it? no. will I call them out? no. what they do is literally none of my business.

also no, it’s not your job or your business to “protect anyone from reading their works”. you are not their parent. if someone reads their works and if they think it’s ai, then they can make their own decision on whether or not they will continue reading it.

if you think their works are ai, you can choose not to read them. you can block them if that’s what you want. but

1. writers do NOT owe you anything

2. yes, it’s absolutely valid for a writer to NOT want to be asked if their works are ai — them deleting their works after you asked them if their work is ai is NOT proof that they used ai. they could very well be devastated that something they worked so hard on was accused of being something it’s not, and if that’s the case then you should be ashamed of yourself. (if they did use ai then that’s still their choice, their business and something they have the rights to do — even though I don’t agree with them, I will never condone harassment.)

3. I have already seen enough writers step away from posting their human-made works online BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ASKING IF IT’S AI. and it can be very disheartening for them. (me personally I don’t care if someone asks me this, because I know I don’t let ai write for me and I never let strangers’ negativity affect me, but I understand why some other writers care.)

3. no, you cannot know “for sure” if a fic is ai-generated. unless the author says so themself, you can only guess based on vibes. as I’ve said before, every ai telltale is something human writers actually write, otherwise ai would never have been able to mimic it at all.

4. harassment will never ever make you the good guy.

also you cannot report them for being ai, let alone because you personally suspected that it’s ai, because ai-generated works are allowed. it’s allowed on ao3 (here’s what ao3 said about ai-generated works on their platform), and since tumblr as a site itself, just like every other social media platform, also promotes and uses ai to help them run the platform, I guess it’s fair to assume they allow ai-generated contents on their platform too.

again, I am not a fan of ai fics, but I condemn harassment, ai witch hunt and speculations more.

respectfully, do better.

if anything, I believe you owe these two writers an apology.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I’m not a fan of ai, but I can accept that if someone chooses to use ai for their fics or their art, that is their choice. not something I agree with. but still not my business, and I will never condone harassment.

if anything, I think it’s better if these people feel comfortable enough to tag their stuff as ai, so that other people can avoid their works if they’re not comfortable with ai-generated contents.

that said, I think ai writers will stop tagging their stuff as ai entirely if people shame or harass them for it.

so now their stuff is still ai, just untagged, meaning there’s no way for others to know if it’s ai.

keep in mind that speculation, accusations and witch hunt harm genuine artists and writers as much as ai does, if not more.

so if you go to the “ai-generated” tag on ao3 just to harass people for using ai, just know that you’re not actually fighting against ai — you’re just being a bully and you’re also making people more wary of properly tagging their ai-generated works as such. so you’re just making sure they no longer tag their ai-generated stuff as ai. also you can be reported for harassment, and ao3 will not take your side. (whether or not you like it, ai-generated works are allowed on ao3, whereas harassment is not.)

the “ai-generated” tag on ao3 is there so people can either find or avoid works with ai (but in order for it to work, ai users must feel comfortable enough to be honest and tag their works properly, that won’t happen if people keep shaming and harassing them for it — the only thing harassment will do is make sure ai stuff go untagged, harassment doesn’t stop people from using ai).

the “ai-generated” tag is not there so that you can freely harass people with no consequences.
