Iβm not a fan of ai, but I can accept that if someone chooses to use ai for their fics or their art, that is their choice. not something I agree with. but still not my business, and I will never condone harassment.
if anything, I think itβs better if these people feel comfortable enough to tag their stuff as ai, so that other people can avoid their works if theyβre not comfortable with ai-generated contents.
that said, I think ai writers will stop tagging their stuff as ai entirely if people shame or harass them for it.
so now their stuff is still ai, just untagged, meaning thereβs no way for others to know if itβs ai.
keep in mind that speculation, accusations and witch hunt harm genuine artists and writers as much as ai does, if not more.
so if you go to the βai-generatedβ tag on ao3 just to harass people for using ai, just know that youβre not actually fighting against ai β youβre just being a bully and youβre also making people more wary of properly tagging their ai-generated works as such. so youβre just making sure they no longer tag their ai-generated stuff as ai. also you can be reported for harassment, and ao3 will not take your side. (whether or not you like it, ai-generated works are allowed on ao3, whereas harassment is not.)
the βai-generatedβ tag on ao3 is there so people can either find or avoid works with ai (but in order for it to work, ai users must feel comfortable enough to be honest and tag their works properly, that wonβt happen if people keep shaming and harassing them for it β the only thing harassment will do is make sure ai stuff go untagged, harassment doesnβt stop people from using ai).
the βai-generatedβ tag is not there so that you can freely harass people with no consequences.
