hi I hate to start discourse on a monday morning but every writer here should block this person stat. there is no reliable way to detect AI writing in a vacuum (eg, with a tool), and in fact AI detection tools have been found to disproportionately flag non-native english speakers. identifying AI-generated works is an ongoing challenge that exists in educational settings among paid professionals. amateur writers on tumblr who are strangers to each other's repertoires and styles are not going to have any way of accurately identifying human- vs AI-generated writing.
targeting writers for having writing that is "too formal" or "too bland" (both incredibly subjective judgments) is absolutely the type of behaviour that people will try to use to cancel writers that they have personal beef with, or who are writing content that they disagree with. in other words - it's going to become a tool for censorship and witch hunts. fandom is going to go down a very dark path if we become comfortable with throwing around AI accusations. the best path to avoid AI in fandom is to have honest and candid conversations about how the unchecked proliferation of AI is incredibly destructive for creatives and to encourage people to disclose the use of AI if they wish to post fics/art that utilize it.
do not send hate, do not harass - just block and warn other people about this account.
