Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

[writedragon]

I got a comment on a ten year old fic and it made my day. Archive of our Own is a library; nothing there is ever "too old".

There is joy in just picking the colours that feel good today and doing something, without really knowing what the result will be. Pure joy of painting. :D

Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...

They are asking (respectfully) to see your coin collection (no intentions of taking to add to their horde)

[writedragon]

Fun with tiny watercolors.

[writedragon]

Your art is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks! I also reblog other people's work sometimes but I always give credit. :)

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Seeing as Twitter is gonna legally steal your work now, please use glaze to protect what you make.

[chromatocloo]

Guys did you hear about Nightshade?

Using both Glaze and Nightshade would corrupt the generation of pictures mimicking artist AND mess with the AI's recognition of what everything is. Like it would generate a dog when you ask for a cat.

And it would be hell for AI bros to remove the cloaked pictures from their database ʕ 👀人ʔ

[cricketcat9]

👆🏼 for anyone who needs it. Protect your art!

[hostilecandle]

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

[hodari-pavels-good-boy]

Posting this here from my main too bc I feel that strongly about it

You dont get to witch hunt and scour peoples work just frothing at the mouth hoping someone messes up so you can publicly humiliate and gang up on them. Fuck genai and every single poser and lover that uses it but if you are not 1000000000% certain that something is made with it you shut. the. fuck. up.

Pathetic loser behavior on display here

[mintedwitcher]

I'm about to get mean because this shit? this pisses me all the way off.

"hurr durr these very common writing practices are SUPER OBVIOUS AI TELLS!!!!!!!!!! obviously this is an AI invention and not the result of AI being trained on THOUSANDS OF REAL FUCKING STORIES!!!!!!! we're all very intelligent!!!!!!!"

I hate yall. I hate yall for fucking ruining fanfic with your goddamn motherfucking AI obsession. "ooh there's em dashes!" YEAH REAL WRITERS USE THOSE. "there's long paragraphs!" YEAH BECAUSE THATS HOW PEOPLE WRITE STORIES.

we're not "writing like AI" - AI is writing like us, because it fucking stole from us in the first fucking place.

I've never used AI in my work, not ever, but guess what, my fics are ALL written like that. long paragraphs, long sentences, em dashes and hyphens and other grammatical tools, because I fucking know HOW TO WRITE.

quite frankly, if you think these things are "genAI inventions" you're just telling the world that YOU DON'T READ ENOUGH.

[thatdisasterauthor]

And you don't put spaces around em dashes???

[thebibliosphere]

Right???? Like, tell me you don't read books or know English grammar rules without telling me you don't read books or know English grammar rules and are trying to use it as a gotcha for people who do know what they're doing.

Fuck outta here.

(Also, yes, you'll see spaces around em dashes in journalism, but for fiction and academia, it is the expected norm to not have spaces. Some people add spaces out of personal preference, but the expected norm in fiction is no spaces.

Now, if you're using an en dash, those should have spaces, but em dashes and en dashes are not the same thing!)

*clears throat meekly*

Hi, yes, hello!

I 100% agree with the first few bits of this post about people marking up fanfiction like they're grading it and accusing the authors of using gen AI, which is just... VILE. Holy forking shirtballs.

A little FYI, however, if I may: in the UK, em dashes aren't used much. Instead, the en dash with spaces on either side - like this - is favored, especially if using something like Oxford Style (which is what I used in graduate school, and it looks nicer to me, so I still use it). Please don't assume that punctuation rules are the same everywhere and across all writing styles. We can criticize generative AI and the damaging effects it's having on fanfiction, etc. - as we should! - without being elitist and USA-centric. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
