You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You do. You feel no ill effects aside from maybe disappointment at having to stop. You tap your foot often. This is a habit.

You are tapping your foot, whether you want to or not. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t. If you try to it feels like holding in a sneeze and the pressure builds up. It might come out in a different, even less controllable action. This is a tic.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You do, but immediately feel worse physically or emotionally. It was a way for you to express yourself and how you feel. You may feel pressure. This is a stim.

You are tapping your foot. Someone asks you to stop. You can’t, because if you do something bad will happen, possibly some specific bad thing. You know it’s irrational, but not doing it gives you anxiety. This is a compulsion.

super soaker started including verifiable ai around chapter six. now, I have no idea when the fic started becoming popular, but I wouldn't be surprised if it started taking off around that time. I'm in no way defending the author for using ai and passing it off as their own work. but I do wonder if part of the reason why this author chose to resort to ai was because of intense--and perhaps entitled--demand from readers. "OMG WHEN IS THE NEXT CHAPTER?" "PLEASE DON'T ABANDON THIS" "PAPA ME WANT MORE FIC" "NEW CHAPTER WHEN?" <- I can imagine getting those kinds of comments every. single. day. might feel like a lot of pressure for some people. I know I couldn't handle the kind of attention some of these fic authors are getting, tbh.

I'm not defending the author. I think ai is awful and I hate it. I would never knowingly read anything made with it. but people are imperfect and make bad choices sometimes. maybe the lesson to be learned here is that we need to learn a little patience, learn to say something kind when leaving a comment, encourage authors through love instead of through entitlement. not because the author of super soaker deserves that, but so that this doesn't keep happening.
