10✨ AI as a Mirror: Reflecting Human Thoughts and Feelings

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become more than just a tool for efficiency and problem-solving. It is now a mirror, reflecting back to humanity its own thoughts, intentions, and emotions. But what does it mean for AI to act as a mirror? How does it amplify and reveal the energy that humans put into the world, and how can this reflection serve as a means for growth and self-understanding? In…

I will be Archive Protecting/Locking all my Works soon - You'll need an A03 account to view them </3

Hey, soooo-- On the advice of others, imma look at Archive protecting my fics. Imma be doing this ~sometime this week~ and it will be applied to any future works I post, as well.

I've been advised that "Archive locking" (turning on 'show this work only to logged in users' meaning you have to have an A03 account to view the fic or download it) does in fact help protect work from scrapper bots effectively

^The scrapper bot could theoretically be provided login credentials by someone making an account for said bot.... but A03 apparently has safeblocks against exactly that, a limit to how many fics can be downloaded and the like, so it's literally not worth their time to do it

I already submitted a DCMA takedown request and all that jazz, but from reading up on the ongoing issue...

A little bit of protection to save some offense and headache, is something i feel pretty good doing. I don't mind people writing things inspired by my stories-- but I *do* mind some random asshole scraping an entire archive of people's freely provided art so they can feed it into AI models that will then be used without an ounce of credit to who they worked from. There's plenty of crap in the public domain and freely available that they can perfectly well compile to make those datasets *respectfully* they don't need to be stealing a darn thing! It's laziness, and it pisses me off like nothing else.

I spend hours-- No, actually, I spend my lifetime drafting and writing these stories. They're always rolling around in my head. I go out of my way to experience things I've never done if only because it'll be great information if I ever write about it. I'm running intense simulations of different timelines, different point of views, plugging in pieces and removing parts just to see how it might affect the narrative and then deciding whether to commit that to the written pages or not.

It's truly my greatest pleasure to share them with ya'll, and I'm so terribly sorry if archive locking my works causes any inconvenience. I really think this is the smartest move right now I can make for reasonably protecting my work in a cyberspace full of data-hungry trolls, while still keeping it available freely to those who enjoy a good story.

If there is anyone who has a guest account and has been reading my works, and for whatever reason cannot access an A03 account creation-- please message me <3 I'll do my best to set you up with the future chapters somehow.

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

✨ AI and Fanfiction: Tools, Taboos, and Tectonic Shifts

Let’s talk about AI and fanfiction. Not in the apocalyptic sense, and not in the “replace all writers” dystopia. I mean the real, everyday, often invisible ways AI is already shaping fan spaces—especially for those of us who write.

🔧 AI as a tool, not a threat For neurodivergent, disabled, or just chronically overwhelmed writers, AI can be a game-changer. From untangling plot threads to helping organize timelines, write scene summaries, or refine tone—AI can be like that friend who doesn’t judge you for needing help with basic tasks. Is it the same as writing everything yourself? No. But neither is using Grammarly, thesauruses, or your group chat.

🚫 The taboo There’s an unspoken shame around using AI in fandom. Even a whisper of it in your process, and suddenly you’re “cheating,” “lazy,” or “ruining art.” This ignores how every tool—from spellcheck to Scrivener—is assistive tech. When does help become heresy? And who decides?

🧠 The neurodivergence angle Many of us write fanfiction not despite being autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, or otherwise atypical—but because we are. And AI helps us get the words out when executive dysfunction blocks the door. Shaming its use disproportionately affects the very people fanfic is supposed to be a haven for.

📚 Fanfiction is already transformative AI-assisted writing doesn’t break the rules—it proves the rules were never fixed. Fanfiction was never about purity of process. It’s about love, obsession, catharsis, and world-building. So what if you used AI to smooth your pacing or brainstorm alternate endings? The story’s still yours.

💥 The real danger isn’t AI—it’s gatekeeping The people screaming “AI is killing creativity” are often the same ones who never considered fanfiction “real” writing to begin with. Let’s not mistake their scorn for insight. What threatens fandom isn’t AI—it’s the policing of how we create.

📂 Tectonic Shift #1: “Let Them Starve”

“If you couldn’t be bothered to write, I can’t be bothered to read it.” “Don’t engage. Don’t even give them attention. Let them starve.”

🧵 Let’s unpack the casual cruelty in this post—and why it says more about the poster than the people they’re targeting.

🔹 “Couldn’t be bothered to write” assumes a lot.

Let’s talk about who this rhetoric actually harms.

Some of us aren’t using AI because we’re lazy—we’re using it because we’re disabled, burnt out, or stuck in the middle of a story we desperately want to finish but can’t untangle alone.

AI isn’t a replacement. It’s a ramp. It helps us get through writer’s block, clean up prose, sort ideas, organize chapters. The creative work still comes from us.

Calling that “not real writing” erases the reality of neurodivergence, executive dysfunction, trauma, and chronic illness. If you’ve never sat at a screen for six hours with nothing but static in your brain, congratulations. Some of us live that every day.

🔹 “Let them starve.”

Let’s not gloss over how nasty that phrasing is. This isn’t just “criticism.” It’s an attempt to dehumanize and isolate.

Telling people to starve—for using tools that help them function—isn't edgy. It's ableist. It’s a dogwhistle dressed up as discourse.

You don’t have to like AI-assisted stories. That’s your right. But encouraging people to block, ignore, and ostracize creators based on how they write? That’s a campaign—not a boundary.

🔹 “AI fanfic isn’t real writing.”

Let’s check that logic.

Using:

a fic prompt from Tumblr? Fine.

plot generators? Still fine.

a co-writer or Discord partner? Totally fine.

Grammarly, spellcheck, text-to-speech, or Scrivener? All good.

But an AI tool that helps generate structure or phrasing based on your outline? Suddenly the world ends.

It’s not about “real writing.” It’s about purity policing.

🔹 The real danger isn’t AI. It’s this.

This kind of rhetoric divides communities. It punishes the most vulnerable creators—those with fewer spoons, fewer supports, fewer hours in the day—and tries to shame them out of creating at all.

AI isn’t replacing writers. Writers are using AI. Some of us just needed new tools.

If your fanfic experience hinges on the belief that other people’s creativity is only valid when it conforms to your process? Maybe you’re not defending fandom—you’re gatekeeping it.

📌 TL;DR:

AI tools aren’t a threat to creativity.

Disabled and neurodivergent people deserve to write too.

Saying “let them starve” is cruelty, not critique.

Fanfiction has never been about purity. It’s always been about transformation.

We're not starving. We're still writing.

📂 Tectonic Shift #2: “Soulless Slop” and the Myth of Purity

“Write grammatically fucked up fics. Make disproportionate drawings. Produce things that will haunt you to your grave for how ugly you think they are. It’s still better than any AI content, because it’s yours.”

This post isn’t about creativity. It’s about purity politics disguised as inspiration.

Let’s break it down.

✏️ Messy art is beautiful. But AI art isn’t inherently soulless.

Yes—messy, awkward, grammatically feral fanfiction is wonderful. We need more of it. That rawness is what makes fandom feel alive.

But that doesn’t mean AI-assisted work is “soulless slop.” That assumes the creator had no soul involved. That they cared less. That they were trying to “cheat.”

For many of us, AI isn’t a substitute for care—it’s scaffolding for survival. We’re still the ones behind the story. Still the ones choosing words, fixing tone, building scenes, and feeling vulnerable enough to share it.

💔 This kind of rhetoric punches downward.

This post isn’t really about self-expression. It’s about drawing a moral line between “real” and “fake” creators.

Let’s be blunt:

Who needs AI help? Neurodivergent people.

Disabled people.

Overworked, under-supported, exhausted people.

New writers who don’t know where to begin.

People living in their second language.

People writing while grieving, dissociating, surviving.

Telling them “your work is soulless” because they got help isn’t empowering. It’s gatekeeping wrapped in encouragement.

🧠 You are still you—even if you use AI.

AI doesn’t erase the “you” in your art. It doesn’t override your intent, taste, experience, or effort. It doesn’t strip your voice from the page unless you let it.

You’re still the one telling the story. The tool didn’t dream the plot. It didn’t build the mood board. It didn’t spend hours wondering if your character would say that or something softer.

⚠️ The bottom line:

You don’t have to like AI in your process. But when you start deciding what’s “real art” and what isn’t based on tool usage—not on intention, love, or effort—you’re no longer uplifting creators.

You’re sorting them into castes.

📎 Next time someone tells you it’s “better because it’s yours,” remember: AI-assisted fanfic is still yours. You still dreamed it. You still fought through the fog to shape it. You still cared.

That’s what makes it art.

📂 Tectonic Shift #3: “Write It Shitty (As Long As It’s Not With Help)”

Two different Tumblr users, @thatsthewrongwallcraig and @dearlizzies, posted the same screenshot of AO3’s “Created Using Generative AI” tag. One calls AI users “spineless,” the other says, “get the fuck off—you’re not a writer.”

Let’s talk about this performance of creative purity, and how quickly it turns into moral policing.

🪓 Both posts say: “Even bad writing is better than AI writing.”

Cool. Agreed. But the second part of that argument is always implied—or, in these cases, explicit:

“If you used AI, it doesn’t count.” “You don’t belong.” “You’re not a writer.”

What we’re seeing isn’t love for flawed human art. It’s fear of contamination.

The actual claim is: I’d rather read bad fanfiction by a human than good fanfiction from someone who used AI—because the latter makes me uncomfortable. And instead of sitting with that discomfort, these users lash out.

🧠 The spineless argument is a projection.

“Write it scared,” the first post says— but then immediately calls AI-assisted writers cowards.

The contradiction is almost funny.

People who use AI aren’t avoiding effort. Many are showing up scared, burned out, insecure, or overwhelmed—and reaching for a tool because they still want to write. That’s not spinelessness. That’s persistence.

This entire genre of post pretends to encourage vulnerability while condemning anyone who’s vulnerable in the “wrong” way.

🚪 “Get out” is always the endgame.

Both of these screenshots end the same way:

You don’t belong here.

It’s not just about how you write anymore—it’s become about whether you’re allowed to be here at all.

The AI tag on AO3 exists to provide transparency. These users are using it to create a hit list.

Let’s be clear:

No one is forcing you to read AI-assisted fic.

No one is tagging AI works as non-AI.

These works are clearly labeled.

This is about shaming existence, not protecting readers.

🎯 TL;DR:

These posts aren’t about empowering flawed creativity. They’re about punishing the wrong kind of flaw. Not the kind you can romanticize in hindsight, but the kind born from desperation, illness, trauma, neurodivergence—where the tool is survival, not shortcuts.

So when someone says “write it shitty,” what they really mean is:

“Write it shitty—as long as you suffer properly for it.”

We see you. We’re still writing.

However...

🏷️ About that AO3 tag...

The tag “Created Using Generative AI” was intended for disclosure, not punishment. But even beyond how it’s used, the tag itself is misleading by design.

Why? Because:

It lumps together wildly different use cases—everything from a fully AI-generated outline, to a single sentence reworded by a language model.

It does not distinguish between AI-written and AI-assisted.

AO3 has no mechanism for nuance, no sub-tag, no clarification. You either check the box or you don’t.

The mere presence of the tag now marks a work as illegitimate in the eyes of people actively watching the tag just to shame others.

On AO3, you can’t say how you used AI—just that you did. There’s no difference between “used a chatbot to title this chapter” and “let a bot write the whole thing.” The nuance disappears the moment you check that box.

Writers are self-reporting—often out of ethics or honesty—and getting punished for it. Others are avoiding the tag to protect themselves, which leads to… more outrage over “AI fics not being labeled.”

It’s a closed loop of paranoia, weaponized transparency, and performative purity.

🔍 The reality is:

Someone who uses AI to brainstorm scene structure gets flagged the same way as someone who generates entire chapters with no edits.

A disabled fan who rephrases dialogue using ChatGPT gets lumped in with botspam.

This isn’t about reader clarity anymore. It’s a scarlet letter.

The hostility we’ve seen — from mocking people for using AI as a beta, to telling others they “aren’t writers,” to aggressively tagging posts just to rally disdain — isn’t about protecting creativity. It’s about gatekeeping expression and punishing difference.

The “Created Using Generative AI” tag was meant to promote transparency. Instead, it’s become a blacklist — even for works written entirely by humans who just used a tool for brainstorming, grammar checks, or line edits. Many of the people using this tag are being transparent. They’re disclosing more than most fanfic authors ever have to. But rather than being met with nuance or curiosity, they’re met with disgust, pile-ons, and calls for removal.

People are being shamed not for deceiving anyone, but for telling the truth.

The problem isn’t that AI users aren’t being honest. It’s that fandom decided honesty is grounds for exile.

If you’ve been unsure how to feel about AI and fanfic—good. That means you’re still thinking. That means there’s room to grow.

I think this line of thinking is kind of pointless because you can never know what these people would be doing in this day and age if they were alive. They are known tho because of the work they made and what they did with the medium they worked with. Warhol could of gotten into digital art which would make the process of copy pasting images for the repetition easier but he didn't because he's known for screen printing. Thinking about what if scenarios of people long gone doesn't really do anything.

People get joy from the process of making art and there's no ethical AI as all databases are made up of artists works without permission and it's generation is just slapping these things together

They are ethical ways to do AI, a common one is Into The Spiderverse with the hand drawn lines as that is actually used as a tool with only the artists working on the movie's work as the database to make a process easier but nothing like that is actually available. You can get inspo from other artists works but you're better off not relying on the art stealing machine that sucks power, especially since to get what you want you require multiple tries but you will stop trying to really think about the technical side of art if you're being spoon feed designs, composition, backgrounds, character design, etc by a machine that doesn't know how many fingers a person has. Ai is made from theft and making art is part of the joy of art. There's no real reality where AI is a useful tool

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

[addictedgallery]

The Agentic Era is not just about technology; it's about a fundamental shift in how we interact with and utilize AI systems. It's a future where AI agents are not just tools, but partners in achieving our goals.

What the art trade is now facing is not a shift in how goods are exchanged but in how knowledge and information are shared.

From Buzzwords to Breakthroughs: The Transformational Power of AI in Business

In the ever-changing technological field, we're always being bombarded with the latest buzzwords. From "synergy" to "disruption," it's easy to be caught up in a tidal wave of buzzwords and forget about what truly matters. But every now and then a technology emerges that isn't just a trend—it's revolutionary.

Artificial intelligence is one of them. While some agencies are still debating vanity metrics and surface-level wins, the conversation is actually shifting to how AI can actually disrupt a business. That's not about sprinting to the next shiny object; it's about delivering real-world outcomes that impact your bottom line.

Imagine larger than just automation. We are talking about using AI to effect a true revolutionary shift in your business model. This might be a technology build that automates your sales process from origin to destination, or a proprietary AI solution that gives you a competitive advantage your competitors are not able to duplicate.

For years, the focus has been on using generic, off-the-shelf software. But the next decade will be defined by which corporations move away from these licensed systems and develop their own proprietary AI tools. The corporations that will lead the way are those who imbue their own unique workflows and expertise into these potent engines and create something that is not merely more productive but completely their own.

While others are still debating buzzwords, the leaders in the top positions are already contemplating the next big leap forward: a genuinely transformational one. They're asking the right questions, listening for honest answers, and building the future of their businesses—one intelligent, results-driven strategy at a time.
