Hey Wenclair fam, so there’s a new ao3 skin that detects when Claude AI has been used in fics. Below are just 4 from the most kudosed fics of June in the Wednesday fandom. Please be aware of these authors, and if you find any more, you’re more than welcome to share below…(cont)

@keylessbacon @laneskcc I hate using “tells” as a way of calling out AI writing, but with the knowledge that AI has been used by them before, it becomes less far-fetched to come to this conclusion.

[☃️ @winterm00d_]

@keylessbacon @laneskcc And from the second fic on their page, one that’s not flagged, from the first sentences alone, it already starts showing “Claude prose” ie. it’s obsession with telling you what something isn’t. “It’s not X, it’s Y”

[ari⁷ 𝜗ৎ˚⋆ @imnakwon]

the code doesn't lie btw, the proof is the fics listed going red to white after being exposed bc authors were trying to clean their traces

[☃️ @winterm00d_]

Be advised that this tool is both a blessing and a curse; writers who have been caught will now know to remove all traces of Claude from their fics.

2/4 of the listed already did.

Which, again, doesn’t mean they stopped using ai entirely, it just means they concealed it now.

@Openbookperson Nobody is perfect, and I think that’s what makes writing beautiful. But the fact is once you use ai to even “tweak” your writing, it’s not even yours anymore. The moral thing would be to disclose it to your readers

@retrieveire Yess thank u 🙏🏼 I’m not doing this for me, I just genuinely hate gen ai with a passion

[eliz @retrieveire]

you cannot be lazier than using ai to make a story. literally just use your keyboard to type words. it’s not hard. i was looking through my old stories from 2018 last week and they sucked! we all start somewhere!

Oops forgot to attach the image, but it’s just your basic ao3 layout

[☃️ @winterm00d_]

The way it works is Claude leaves behind traces of itself when directly pasted into ao3. So this extension searches for those traces, and when it finds them, the screen goes red. Attached is what a fic looks like with no Claude detected. (Basically just regular ao3)

[☃️ @winterm00d_]

AI in art is a serious problem and belongs nowhere near our fandom, or any other fandom, so please spread awareness. 🫶

[☃️ @winterm00d_]

But it goes without saying that this tool is probably the only way (for now) to determine whether a fic, with certainty, has been made with AI. It goes beyond the simple “tells” of em dashes or other common writer tools that have existed long before AI.

@retrieveire So unrelated, but what app/software is this? It’s so pretty

@dc05322 @forevrmichael You gotta listen to the radio edit version, it’s on the Number Ones album. I can’t stand the intro lol
