Hi, I’m Jane! I’m mostly a lurker but I occasionally write some threadfics and actual fics over on ao3. I’ll link any important or interesting posts of mine below.
Adding to this that when I say fuck genai i genuinely mean I do not think anyone has a “reason” to use it, especially in fanwork, and that the undisclosed usage of it does warrant an apology. I also don’t fault anyone for whom that would be the end of their interest in a creator!
Probably the best response anyone could hope for from an author who has used ai (“I did this, I regret it, here is how I used it, it was minimal but I have gone to lengths to remove it anyway bc it was wrong of me to do”) but here’s my unwoke thoughts….
In the era of hrtwt breaking apart, forming cult-like micro communities, us vs them, finger pointing, delusions of grandeur, ai fic writing, exposing group chats and digging for controversies, does ANYONE actually still like heated rivalry?
@ilyassoull I think that’s very much the appropriate response to this situation! I’m personally wary of the “moral high ground” mob mentality. It’s my opinion that if we can’t be open to a person changing their mind on ai usage, then we’re never going to win this war against ai in fandom!
i have… so many thoughts on the ai space and its weird way it has nuzzled into fandom spaces but i will just say that it is authors that use ai like this that set unfathomable and impossible expectations for fic authors and are actively deteriorating the space
