Have you seen that itsgivingmami deactivated? Got called out for using AI and ran😭

I have not seen it! But now that you mentioned, I checked because I had a number of her pieces saved and they are all gone!

Did they use AI or did they just had enough of people constantly saying it? Because I also get messages saying my pieces are AI on here and my other blog when its not true. I'm afraid we are entering an era when people claim AI and the writer, who didn't use AI, gets fed up and deletes their work.

UPDATE: We got a post from itsgivingmami, check it out here.

Hi, you might know me as itsgivingmami. Recently there have been some questions about me, my work, my art, my thumbnails and ai.

The anon who left me messages, and now on other blogs sent me two messages. First, yes I deleted my account. After briefly posting my fics privately for my followers and getting a second message I was hurt and frustrated and deactivated.

I didn’t respond to either on my blog, I don’t think I owe answers to any inbox ask regardless of what it’s about. That blog then took my actions, perceived them as guilt and asked another user who doesn't know me personally(not that anyone on here does) which I don’t think was fair to them.

A year ago when I started posting I got a message saying I was clearly copying someone in the community by posting 3 pictures side by side as my thumbnails— so I changed them to custom banners.

Then I started getting inbox asks about those(I use sketchbook from the App Store and place them together them smudge them with a smudge tool). I get it AI imagery is everywhere, but I made them by hand.

I started posting my paintings when a mutual suggested it. As for the whole daddy thing and showing my hands if that’s the weirdest thing on tumblr then… alright🤷🏻‍♀️ I can appreciate how people feel about it good or bad react how you wanna doesn't bother me. What does bother me was the message I got about my butterfly painting and how it was clearly ai. I spent hours of work time, I sell acrylic paintings professionally.

Over the last three months I've had accusations thrown in my inbox a couple times and quite frankly got fed up but if I wanted to delete my account the first time being accused of using ai I would’ve done that when it first started. Never addressed it because is it going to change minds? Probably fucking not.

Have I been influenced by ai media?

Absolutely. I read fanfics, articles, blogs etc. As I'm sure do most of us and half the time don’t realize.

Do I use em dashes?

Yes, I don't want every punctuation to be a comma. I also use colons, semi colons, ellipses. I also use them in my texts and when I write by hand.

I also write like favourite my authors. Meryl Wilsner, Bridgette Morrisey and Ashley Herring Blake (excellent queer writers if you take nothing else from this post you should check out their books and shockingly

The existence of em dashes.

Listen whatever opinion is yours, if it's that I had ai write my fics or I'm stealing thumbnails but let's not take an emotional response as grabbing the pitch forks and definitely not drag others into it.

More importantly an apology:

I'm sorry if deleting my stories took away a comfort fic, I know how important those can be. There were over 600 of you that followed me that I should've thought more about before I deleted everything. I'm considering putting them elsewhere.

It was thoughtless and I apologize.

This whole situation makes me feel kind of done in all honesty, like when you delete a text thread because you don’t want to see it. That’s basically what happened. At the end of the day… it’s fan fiction, it’s important to me, I love it but maybe it’s time to be done for me.

It was definitely AI!

There were far faaarrr too many context clues. em dashes being used too often and incorrectly, phrases being repeated practically every other sentence, etc etc.

I sent them 1 ask questioning why they used AI and rather than denying it, they just deleted every single fic. I sent them another asking if they deleted everything because they were using AI and then they deactivated. If they weren't, then immediately panic nuking everything is insane😭

I just absolutely loved their work and was concerned that they deleted their blog. I was trying to understand what happened here, I'm not here to stir or start drama.

You might have sent 1 or 2 messages, but no one deletes their entire blog just because of 2 messages. We don't know what was happening behind the scenes. It might just be that the 2 messages were what pushed them over the edge.

I don't understand why you believe so firmly that they used AI. I actually think this is a very interesting topic. Like, your side as the reader and me as a writer.

The useage of em dashes- I think, everyone who knows English grammar knows how to use them, also the fact that they were used incorrectly should be a giveaway, no? I would think AI would use it correctly.

Phrases being repeated- Could be their stylistic choice. I have read books and fanfiction that did the same. I remember back in school my teacher constantly nagging me about repeating words or phrases, it is what makes is human.

I wasn't there when they were writing or posting, but from what I have read, to me, the stories had soul and thought put into them.

[mamiobesssionfics]

It's your opinion on whether or not they used AI at the end of the day, but I would bet any amount of money on the fact that it was AI, like I'm 1000% positive.

The vast majority of the time it doesn't know how to use em dashes correctly and it will just throw them in randomly and repetitively when it doesn't make sense to, which is the biggest giveaway

It's unfortunate that they just nuked everything rather than addressing it, and I did like some of the fics they had posted, but the whole thing just screams guilty

We can agree that it’s not a good look. But I would prefer to hear all sides before judging.

We don’t know all details and might never know since they deactivated.

Honestly, I’m not surprised itsgivingmami used ai cause they already seemed a bit weird?? Like they had this weird daddy kink thing going on with their readers and they would always include their hands in photos of their art. I’m not here to kink shame cos I’m in no position to do that but it still made me super uncomfy to the point where I unfollowed them

I’m sorry. I’m not sure how the two correlates. 😅

I get told I am weird myself and that people sometimes don’t like my blog because of that so I get that.

@itsgivingmami

I wonder if you will ever see this. I’m so devastated that you are gone from this space. You were part of my daily routine, heh. I always went back and read your pieces when the world around me got chaotic. I miss you already, friend.

Wishing you all the happiness, health and wealth. Take care…💛
