#literally artificial intelligence is going to be the actual death of true creative work

[phantom-curve]

so I woke up to this fucking comment in the middle of the night

and I just wanna say, not only did I absolutely NOT use a fucking AI or bot to write my fic, but also if this is something that is going to happen now and I’m gonna have to be anxious/worried that someone is gonna accuse me of doing something like this OR that someone is gonna upload my work to a machine to teach it how to steal the work of a real human: I just won’t post anymore. like it’s literally as simple as that.

and that kills me because I already have enough reasons not to post the things I write and I was legit so excited to put something new up and now I’m like a sad leftover birthday balloon and I honestly don’t know if I will continue posting this fic or not. I feel super gross about this and frankly, really violated too. we’ll see if that changes by wednesday, but no promises on updates anymore at this point. most of the joy I had about posting this fic is gone now because of this.

so whoever is out there feeding fics into bots, here’s my PSA: fucking do better. be better. and stop ruining creative outlets for actual real people. you suck.

#never in my life have I gone from so happy/excited about an email to just flat out pissed the fuck off #like this has actually legitimately ruined my night #half a mind to just delete the entire fic now because I hate hate HATE THIS SO MUCH #literally artificial intelligence is going to be the actual death of true creative work #and it is so sad to watch it happen in real time #mads speaks #mads writes #ao3 #prayer line juke #PSA #novelai #chatgpt #FUCK ALL OF YOUR BULLSHIT AIS #writing #fic writing #ao3 etiquette
