āhow to recognize AI in fanficā ā hey so this is another not-gentle reminder that AI stole from us. itās using OUR words and OUR sentences and OUR styles.
writing ālongā paragraphs is not a sign of AI ā itās a common narrative choice many writers make both in fanfiction and in traditionally published novels, and AI stole it from us.
using an em dash is not a sign of AI. itās a stylistic sentence choice thatās been an option in place of commas and semicolons for a very long time, and AI stole it from us.
long sentence structures are not a sign of AI, but are yet another stylistic choice writers often make to create a cadence and tone that mimics the flow of poetry, and AI stole it from us.
āYA narrative breaksā? i donāt even know what the fuck this means, but i can guarantee that AI stole it from us.
italics are once again a stylistic choice that many writers love to use to create emphasis, and itās a more stylistically acceptable and traditional form of emphasis than bold or underline text. oh, and just to be extra clear: AI STOLE IT FROM US.
stop creating fandom witch hunts over AI when you know fuck all about what it means to sit and write a story, and to spend hours fiddling with sentence structure and dialogue to get the exact right tone. writers will stop writing out of fear that their work āsounds like AIā ā IT DOESNT! AI STOLE FROM US! AI SOUNDS LIKE US! ā and after a while, all that will be available on AO3 is shitty AI-generated fanfiction.
because yeah, people are going to continue to use AI to write fanfiction whether you ācall them outā or not. but making a laughable thread on X that uses asinine criteria is not going to fix that problem. it will just push the real writers out because people will accuse them of using AI when they havenāt, and they will (rightfully) stop writing for spaces that attack them.
