[riseandfallofamidwestbyler]

i want to start by saying that i am so deeply sorry for everyone who read and actively supported wheezingwheeler and super soaker. without the things that have recently come out there was no way to know that they had been using AI to write. so many of my friends and mutuals loved this work and its so disheartening to see the disappointment that is circulating.

i’ve made my thoughts on AI abundantly clear (here) many times, but i haven’t really said my piece on AI fan fiction.

i am a firm believer that fan fiction (and most other fan created content) is the purest form of art. no one that writes fan fiction is doing it for any kind of profit or recognition. they do it because they love their fandom and they want to see the characters that they love get the endings and stories they deserve. using AI to create fan fiction takes away the heart and soul that makes it so special.

as a fan fiction author, it’s so discouraging to see a fic written by AI gain so much traction. while i understand that there was no real way to know for certain up until now, it’s still upsetting. to know that an art form that i pour a lot of love and attention into can be made within seconds by a robot and do so well is so sick to me. 

i personally never read super soaker (i read the first two chapters a few days ago and something felt off so i didn’t continue) but i’ve seen so much fan art and discussion of it that im pretty familiar with it. there’s no doubt about how big of an impact this fic has had on this fandom. 

being apart of the byler fandom, i typically pride myself in knowing that our community is so anti-AI. i do think that this is an exception to that, considering i don’t think that the person behind this was ever really involved or interested in our actual fandom. that doesn’t at all make it okay. it’s insane to me that someone would fake writing a fan fiction over the course of several months.

more than anything, i want the public reception to this situation to show that it is so worth it to create things yourself. it’s very comforting to see that so many people have expressed the fact that they appreciate human-made art.

always remember that true talent, love, and passion can never be replaced. those things are the heart and soul of fan-created content and they are so important. keep creating, keep practicing, and keep trying.

and no matter what, as a fandom, this certainly isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to us.
