"Individual choice!" is such an obnoxious rallying cry. totally perverts a legitimate usage into utter, disgusting selfishness.

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.

Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.

There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

[diana-fortyseven]

The spam comments have evolved.

They are now also linking to a site they claim is able to scan works and tell you whether they were AI written or not, and that you should do that before reading a fic.

It should go without saying that you should not, under no circumstances, visit a site advertised in a spam comment.

In this case, I'd say there's even a chance that the "scanning" site is actually used to scrape fics and use them for future AI writing. What it definitely doesn't do is tell you whether something was AI written or not. That's a bullshit claim.

Don't use that site. Don't believe these spam comments, whether you get them on your own works or see them on someone else's.

It's all bullshit.

[captainkingsley]

Just got another one, so here's what they look like to anyone curious. They're never real users, either, just keysmashes for the display name.

Image Description: a screenshot of an AO3 comment by nlaoboh that says HoloAI pattern found in work. To all readers, before you read please scan the work with an AI detector like gowinston.ai and call out all AI using cheaters /end ID

[fixyourwritinghabits]

As someone who works in education, actual AI detectors don't even work well and are rendered obsolete within weeks if not days. Please spread this around to spare your fellow writers and reader!

i wish i could see this picture for the first time again

Every time I see some gamerbro edit of a female video game character to make her 'prettier', I always see something I have mentally dubbed Cockroach Wife Syndrome (in honor of the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha).

That is to say, there is a certain subset of gamerbro who interacts so rarely with real women, that his primary touchstone for how women look is fiction: often video games and anime. So when a video game woman looks too realistic--too close to having traits that one might find in real flesh and blood women--this is foreign to them. This is unattractive. They have been jacking it to hentai and blender animation porn for too many years, and have inadvertently conditioned themselves to only be sexually aroused by the exaggerated cartoonish traits of animated women.

So now every time I see one such edit, I can't help but think. My. What a coincidence you've made her look more like an anime waifu. Truly dedicated to your cockroach wife.

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

You can’t just breeze over something like “the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha” without at least linking a 20 minute video breakdown of this man’s descent into madness.

[kunosoura]

Oh is Ogtha not common knowledge? Eight years ago this was posted on reddit:

Two years ago, we got this update on the life of this roachfucker:

TLDR it's a guy who became obsessed with human-sized roaches with human intelligence after reading Kafka in high school, an obsession which eventually came to monopolize his romantic interests (and has sporadically had catastrophic impacts on his life ever since).

[grawly]

what the fuck happened to my post

[milf-adjacent]

Shh... We're reading about the cockroach wife tulpa

[inthetags]

Reblog and put in the tags how often you “clean” your tumblr account, deleting old posts.

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

Tumblr actually has an auto clean function! Where the search function immediately forgets tags and posts making them un-findable

[cadoized]

does anyone else

He should have a parenthesis around the 230-220 or else in the order of operations would default to 220x0.5, thus making the equation 230-110=120

[funkyness]

that's the joke actually!

"5!" with the exclamation point is a factorial, so 5!=5x4x3x2x1=120

[retroactivebakeries]

#ah. you are mother fucker?

[tucsonhorse]

Remember how it started as 14 days?

[hardylettuce]

FUN FACT!

I was working as a contact tracer during the pandemic. I was in a supervisor position, so I'd be on calls with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), who would relay to us what the CDC's current guidance was. And when the 5 Day Isolation thing came out, all of us asked "but is it safe? Is there any guidance that suggests people are less likely to infect others?" Their answer was "no, but businesses need workers, and this is about people getting back to work faster."

I know a lot of people think that the 5 Day Isolation must have come about because of some new scientific discovery that 10 days was too long, or new strains don't last as long, and blatantly no. THIS DECISION WAS NEVER MADE TO KEEP YOU SAFE. THIS DECISION HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT MONEY.

[quasi-normalcy]

Flagrant abuses of trust like this cause people to lose faith in their scientific and democratic institutions, and I feel like there is insufficient recognition of this fact in officialdom.

[idoubtthatwaspc]

My boss tried to make me come back to work when I was still ACTIVELY SICK. Literally still had a fever that even with medication I was only getting down to like 101-102 (I run high fevers and was frequently texting with my PCP), was still coughing so much I'd lost my voice from it. My oxygen levels weren't "go to the hospital" low but I wasn't far off, and all the while my boss is like "but it's been 6 days."

[lillbitdramatic]

seems about right

I mean yeah
