like you don't get it this fic had me refreshing for updates on a PLANE on a BOAT AND on a BUS i've read this fic in air water AND land

it is heist. it is enemies to lovers. detective vs criminal found FAMILY deep exploration of relationships outside of purely romantic.

it is gax russtappen centric but has alternating pov between george, max, lando, and lance with landoscar and lance x fernando (yeah i know i was a bit . iffy abt them but somehow the author makes it work). basically the whole grid shows up but the rookies are the most present side characters. 

george is this composed put together image of perfection detective that leads a task force in finding renowned mysterious criminal max who leads his own gang of rookies, at complete odds with each other but also so crazily obsessed with each other it's crazy. throw in complicated kimi relationships with either of them tying them together and it's peak

it's also one of those fics where it manages a large ensemble cast and a background/overarching unrelated to romance plot very very well

now

that was the most blatant and clear example of ai usage in a fic however there's been many many times when i'm reading something that it just feels slightly off. the way the syntax is formulaic, the way the characters are all kinda flattened in their thoughts and speech, and the way that there's almost an unnatural "polished" vibe. now im not in any position to start slinging accusations around and this really isn't targeted at anyone specific, especially when i don't have any proof, but i do get quite sad knowing that there is definitely a percentage of fics ive consumed that have been written by ai.

as a long time fic reader since before the dawn of ai, i just want to reiterate my appreciation to the hundreds of thousands of writers who's works i've consumed over all the years. i understand that you're creating content for free, donating your skills and time for the greater community. honestly some of the best, most beautiful and impactful writing has come from some teenager on ao3 writing rpf yaoi and the talent is absolutely incredible. if any of you, at any point, feel the urge to use ai in your writing, please understand that it is not worth it. it's a stain on your own integrity as a writer, and a stain on any of your other works that you did create legitimately. if you feel like ai is the only way to finish a work, because you are in a creative slump or just aren't into it anymore, i assure you that every single reader would rather read an incompletely yet completely human story, than an artificially tacked on computer generated ending. if you don't feel confident in your writing abilities and feel like ai is the only way you can get your idea out there you are wrong. you are doing a disservice to yourself and robbing yourself the ability to improve and learn. you are robbing yourself of your own ideas by handing them off to an empty computer. maybe you think your readers won't know, because you've done such a clever job of editing around the ai and hiding certain things, or maybe you've even learned to prompt in certain ways. but trust me, someone will know. and even if you did successfully fool everyone, is it an achievement to cut yourself completely out of the creative process?

there's been many discussions on the environmental impacts of ai as well as its encroachment on intellectual property, all completely strong and solid reasons to be against using generative ai for fics. however, another reason that is harder to measure/define is ai's damage to reading comprehension and communication abilities. i'm sure most people have already seen the hallmarks of ai writing, the — dashes, the "it's not just this, it's that" formatting, the word "delve" etc etc. however those are hallmarks BECAUSE they are obvious. when you consume ai writing, especially unknowingly, it will begin to influence your actual real writing. it's one thing to start noticing an urge to add — to your writing and then stopping, but it's another thing to have your own ability to communicate unknowingly molded by ai. therefore i believe that any writer using ai and publishing those works to pass off as human is basically helping to poison the well of human communication.

and here is a new russtappen fic, literally tagged "created using generative ai"

god i don't even wanna think about the ethical implications of ai generating porn/smut. like people already have some ethical push back against rpf (which ofc u can take whatever stance on it, i obviously do indulge in it), but this definitely takes that debate to a whole new level

i didn't read it (it's 22k words of ai porn why would i) but based off the description/tags it's all pretty standard ??? russtappen fic dynamics ??? like i am like 80% sure you can find at least 10 fics with similar dynamics/plots to this that are actually written by humans

Obsessed with this game
