i hate the fact that more and more people are using AI to generate themselves fanfiction on wattpad and ao3, or any app or website really, and publishing them as their 'own' works
its really saddening how weve come to using AI to generate something for our fandoms ( for example, ive come upon a few particular drarry, byler, and heated rivalry fanfics that i will not state their usernames, that have been proven to be made from AI ).
not only does this make it much more difficult to browse for fanfics that we might like, but it also proves the fact that we are devolving into people who rely on AI, might i remind you, a TOOL, to replace human writing and creativity. nobody is forcing you to write something good! you can enjoy writing, you can also enjoy reading what others have created, and there are so many possibilities for you, even if you can't make perfect fanfiction!
nobody will shame you for writing with poor grammar, nobody will shame you for writing something with holes in the lore, canon or fanon, and nobody will shame you for using em-dashes. you don't have to write 600 chapters in one single day! you can take loooongg, loooooooong breaks from writing something without another update, maybe for weeks, months, maybe a year, and nobody will shame you for that! you can write a super short one shot, and there will still be people who click on it and leave kudos!
fanfiction is called fanfiction because it is meant to be written by a fan, not artificial intelligence.
GAAAH IM SORRY THIS IS JUST ME YAPPING BUT THE FACT THERES A WHOLE TAG FOR MADE BY AI IN AO3 IS REALLY CONCERNING...
