Sending this as not anonymous because literally no one is talking about it and I think it's important that we should.

I love AJ, but the fact that he uses AI disgusts me. I literally can't see him the same way anymore knowing he is contributing to the environmental issues that AI creates. Also the fact that he's using AI to promote his new film is a horrible juxtaposition and he should be shamed for using it. And it's also weird as hell how the fandom has just swept this under the carpet because I see everyone acknowledge it and just as quickly, ignore it. You can't say you hate AI but then look away when someone you admire uses it. Don't idolise them for goodness sake. And i understand that we are just "some people on the internet" and we can't single handedly stop AJ from using AI, but it pisses me off how quick people are to switch from hating on AI to ignoring the fact AJ uses and supports the use of AI.

If anyone is defending his AI use, 1. what the fuck 2. get blocked.

For everyone who wants to know where AJ used AI to promote his film:

This was from his film making account, Lofi_film25, where the post was promoting his new film but marked as AI.

Now, I understand that it states "content in this post may have been created using AI" but i was skeptical. AJ has supposedly supported AI before, so I didn't want to just trust this little "thing" on Instagram. So, I put it to the test.

This is the original image I took from his post, only I used a "divide" feature on ibisPaint X, the whole process a hard to explain but if you search it up, you'll understand how it works. Anywho, long story short, those pixels you can see scattered around the entire image is proof that this was AI generated. You see, when AI generates an image, it colours pixel by pixel, and by throwing a few filters on, you can see each pixel (for some AI generated content, it can be/look differently). That little static-y, weird bits in the dark areas are the pixels.

And, y'know, for the fun of it, I ran it through multiple AI image detectors, which all stated that this photo was AI generated (websites can be found by just searching up "AI checker free image").

And for some extra proof that these AI websites are legit, I ran through the same screenshot I took of me winning sudoku through it and they all said it was not AI generated. Example here:

Now, I understand the concerns of people who think I'm doing/saying this with malicious intent, or if I was just really mad (which to be honest, I still am). But I'm now doing this to spread awareness. This post made me realise that not a lot of people were ever even aware that AJ ever used and supported the use of AI, and were just as disappointed as me in discovering that I did (which i am glad for 1. Making people aware and 2. For people being disappointed). Furthermore, the ask I had sent in myself was messy, to say the least. It was sent to ask the fandom to stop ignoring his AI usage and for me to just lightly vent about I was upset about this whole thing (which, again, I am aware most people did not even know about this so I apologise). So, I guess that ask and this reblog is now more about spreading awareness. You can love AJ all you want, but he does use AI and (on a much lesser and less threatening note I suppose) I will block you, and i would hope others do the same for any other AI bootlickers.

Thank you mod for posting my ask, and thank you for reading <3

I feel like something that has really contributed to sfth's success is that they all have different strengths in their acting. I'll use Never Give Annabelle A Gun as the example for this, since I feel they were all pretty much at their strongest in that long form. Luke is exceptional at playing characters that are nothing like him: Americans, women, nonhumans, etc.; his most compelling and interesting characters are ones he has basically nothing in common with. he's also great at multiroling, esp if it's characters that are very likely to come into contact with each other because he loves having the opportunity to do a back-and-forth with himself. He doesn't really multirole in ngaag, but he plays a lesbian, which he definitely is not, and is able to depicts her in a very convincing and relatable way. I think this is because he's the one who's done the most reading and studying about improv and acting; he has a deep intellectual understanding of taking on an alternate perspective, and has developed that skill. Tom does well with finding the motivation for a character and centering that as their main trait. some characters end up very two-dimensional, but most end up complex and fascinating. Butch is a great example of this; her main defining trait was being in love with her best friend and being afraid to tell her. he played this so that it was clear that was on her mind in every scene, and it ended up making her more distinctive and allowing her to do things to further the plot that made sense because of that motivation. I think this is because of his whole novelist thing; to write a book, you need a really good idea of what drives each character, and that sometimes has to be isolated to just one main goal or emotion or whatever. AJ does well with adapting to what the story needs, and does his best when he's going along with the others' ideas and building on them. he escalates conflict, and he's amazing at intensifying the plot and raising the stakes. we see this especially in ngaag with him playing the stalker, because he picks up on the romance between Annabelle and Butch and, rather than shoehorning it into a love triangle or forcing Butch out of the picture as nothing more than a friend, decides to take on the part of villain that cares more about possession than love. this made the plot way more interesting, and allowed a sense of urgency that it wouldn't have otherwise had. I think this is mostly because of his background as a director and filmmaker, because he's able to pick up on where they're trying to go with it and come up with a way to make it easier for the audience to get invested. Sam is best at engineering the plot from the background; his minor characters are often the ones that force the plot forward the most, and though he also does great as the mc, he almost seems to have more control over how the play goes when he's in a supporting or side role. as Annabelle's father, he's able to hint at the feelings between Annabelle and Butch before Luke and Tom had even decided they'd have feelings for each other, and was the main reason they ended up with a happy ending rather than a Clamanda-esque unrequited pining thing. I feel like this is mostly because of his experience working in comedy for a long time in the ideas-having side of things; he can pitch ideas for how he wants it to go by making suggestions to the more main characters during their sidequesty moments with side characters. In fact, another great example of these strengths is Clarissa's DIY Wedding; it's almost the same dynamics, with Luke and Tom being girl best friends and Tom's character having a crush on Luke's while AJ's character is in love with Luke's, but in that one, Luke's character ends up with AJ's rather than Tom's. In this, too, Sam sort of drives the plot forward indirectly through his supporting roles, making the whole thing tie together properly. Their individual penchants are really easy to see the more of the longforms you watch, and it's cool to see how they play to these throughout their time in this field.

BOTS AND SCAM COMMENTS ON AO3

WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO SPOT THEM

okay, I thought I should make this post since there has been an influx of scammers plaguing AO3 comments section and people are falling victims to them. so here it is;

WHAT THEY ARE

so far, there are three main types of these scam bots

bots that tell you AO3 is deleting works, and that you should delete the works yourself because your entire account will be affected if your works get deleted by AO3

bots that tell you your works are terrible

bots that tell you they want to draw comic panels from your works

ALL OF THESE ARE SCAM WITH MALICE INTENTIONS

bots that tell you AO3 is deleting works, and that you should delete the works yourself because your entire account will be affected if your works get deleted by AO3 are just trying to get you to delete your works, most certainly because they want to steal and/or use your works to train their AI and, once you delete your works, it becomes extremely difficult, almost impossible for you to claim ownership of your works when the original works have been deleted. AO3 IS NOT DELETING ANY WORKS.

bots that tell you your works are terrible are also just trying to get you to delete your works, most certainly because they want to steal and/or use your works to train their AI and, once you delete your works, it becomes extremely difficult, almost impossible for you to claim ownership of your works when the original works have been deleted. (more examples here and here)

bots that tell you they want to draw comic panels from your works are trying to hack your password, personal data and credit card information (they will say they see potentials in your work and are interested in drawing comic panels from it, and then they will ask you to discuss this with them on discord where you will have to pay/commission them for the “comics” you will never get, but you will get your password hacked, personal data and credit card information breached and stolen instead, do not fall for them).

HOW TO SPOT THEM

what all these 3 types of bots have in common is that;

most of them (keyword, most, not all) are guest users or empty accounts that have just been recently created.

their comments are all the same copied and pasted scripts that they mass leave on lots of authors’ works at random.

their comments are all vague, in the sense that there will be no mention of any specific characters’ names, no mention of any specific scenes or events from your works (granted, they need to be vague because they are bots, they never actually read your works, and they have to be able to use the same comments on other writers’ works too).

EDIT: I’ve been told they got “smarter” and are now mentioning characters by names and also specific scenes from the story. Most definitely because they ran your fic through AI and let AI write comments for them. So basically, if a comment, from someone you don’t know, ends in something along the lines of “I’d like to draw a comic panel about this”, “can we chat on discord (or anywhere outside of ao3)” or anything that’d require your email or other personal information, always assume that it’s 90% a scam.

report them for spam then delete their comments when/if you get them.

please spread this if you can. us writers gotta look out for each other. stay safe, everybody ♡

EDIT (Dec 10, 2025): NEW TYPE OF BOTS WHO THREATEN PEOPLE WITH LEGAL ACTIONS

EDIT (Dec 15, 2025): BOTS IMPERSONATING LEGIT USERS, WITH REGISTERED ACCOUNTS, BY USING THESE LEGIT USERS’ AO3 NAMES AS THEIR GUEST-USER NAMES IN THEIR GUEST COMMENTS

EDIT (Dec 22, 2025): BOTS PROMOTING THEIR APP/PROGRAM AND ACTING AS AN AD (WHICH I BELIEVE IS AGAINST AO3’S POLICIES) ON COMMENTS SECTION
