and how do we meaningfully create that. grifters and liars and bad actors should be called out, sure, but then what? beyond the temporary permission to bully? once we get down to the technicalities of how much AI is ok we start policing instead of creating.
want to add nuance here because although i agree with the sentiment (theres no real harm in reading AI fic) i think the subset of fandom that compiled this document cares and cares a lot. caring is a good place to start. unless regulated, AI is here to stay and will be used.
compiling a call-out document of writers who use AI is not the way to go and objectively causes more harm than reading an AI generated fic. in the scale of actual evil things AI is used for (including surveillance and drone strikes...) this is so so small fish.
thats obviously more difficult than, say, completely banning gen AI fic on AO3. is that what we want? banning anything on AO3 is a slippery slope. the "use AI = bad person" attitude weve adopted is not productive. the conversation we should have is what kind of community we want
