AI. Pfft!

Just so y'all know, I haven't, nor will I, use generative AI to write my stories.

I took two years to write 20,000 New Friends. It took that long because life kept getting in the way/happening to me, and also because I was wrestling with how to make the fic make sense and the characters speak to me.

I would encourage people to stretch their own imaginations, to explore topics and emotions which are fun, or difficult.

I would encourage people to write the human experience.

Sadly, due to AI scraping, I've had to make it "members only," so now's your chance to create an Archive of Our Own account!

[shellhawk]

AO3 has been scraped again. Dammit.

All the information and updates are here as far as April 22 are here, so please, read it all: https://www.paperdemon.com/app/g/pdarpg/events/view/994/immediate-action-required-your-art-and-writing-has-been-scraped-and-published-in-an-ai-dataset/1

The summary is this: a user of the HuggingFace (a machine learning website where people upload databases, applications and models) that goes by the name of nyuuzyou has done an unauthorized scrape of both artwork and writing from at least seven (7) websites, Archive of Our Own included. You can see it here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/nyuuzyou/archiveofourown Of those seven websites, only two (2) datasets has been deleted.

The dataset of AO3 on HuggingFace is currently disabled, meaning: you can't download it but you can still see the relevant information of the dataset and it could be available again if the copyright infringement/DMCA takedowns requests are countered. As far as of April 23 (today), the AO3 dataset has only 4 copyright infringement notices. I encourage eveyone to do one, since (quoting): "the scraper has not agreed to take down the entire repo. At this time, the scraper has agreed with taking down art from the person who owns the copyright. That means each of you will need to request a takedown".

EDIT: I apologize for not including this in the OG post, but yes, as others in the comments have said, the database "was created by processing works with IDs from 1 to 63,200,000 that are publicly accessible." Work ID means the number in the URL of the works, so if your work has a matching ID between 1 to 63,200,000, then your work is in the dataset and you can fill a DMCA or a copyright infringement notice. The CSV thing on PaperDemon is just a list that you privately (via email) send to the user who did the dataset so they identify your work in the dataset and delete it. So you can do it just, copy and paste your works' ID to an excel file and send that.

The link with all the information I shared above has instructions as to how to do it, but if anyone does it and wants to share their process please feel free to do so.

EDIT 2: The user nyuuzyou has doubled down and uploaded the AO3 dataset (and the other ones, included the ones that they deleted on HuggingFace --fucking ass) to others sites. You can see the sites on this comment: https://old.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/1k6a3t6/ao3_has_been_scraped_again_for_genai_purposes/moosipe/

EDIT 3: The dataset has been deleted from the ModelScope website. https://www.modelscope.cn/datasets/nyuuzyou/ao3

In love with the fact that Dean met an angel of the lord and was immediately like ‘yeah, I want to make him think about me having sex with my huge dick’.
