Someone commented on some of my original work to tell me they had ideas based on them and asked if they could share. I was like, sure, why not? Hint of misgivings because it came out of nowhere, but it can be pretty fun, and I'm like tacitly open to suggestions or even requests.
It's been several days of them sending me, like, one message a day asking how I am and replying how they are and stuff, which felt odd enough. Not bad, but I'm really, really not used to that online, and if I don't know someone it's way better to skip the niceties and bust my door down with a topic of conversation.
So I've been waiting for a while like "where is this going to go?" until today when... the "ideas" they've sent appear to be AI-generated summaries of my characters. I'm about 99% sure, though obviously there's always wiggle room... and, of course, I have no idea how this person would normally write because I know nothing about them beyond their very sparse preliminary messages. It's definitely a real person, but that's all I've got to go off of.
Even if it's not AI, and they've summarized my characters by hand...
What am I supposed to say to this? 😭
I might be able to come up with something or other, but they've specifically asked which I like more or would "prefer to go with" as if I'm going to do something with them?? There is nothing there to remark on???? Yeah, I guess that sure is some kind of interpretation of my characters??? 😭
edit: evidently a scam type I was not aware of because I coincidentally haven't been writing and posting for about 5 years exactly... wild lol
