Hello. Are you aware of Patreon's survey asking its user if they're alright with their work being scrapped for AI and otherwise use of AI being integrated in the site? Every time I try to share that, nothing happens, so I want to at least ask someone with a following so they can possibly raise awareness. The survey closes at the end of the week. Thank you for your time.

That's probably because links that lead outside of tumblr get pretty demonstrably suppressed. I've seen this talked about plenty on Bluesky, on the other hand.

But yes, I would encourage anyone with a creator's account on patreon (I don't believe it works for supporters, but it doesn't hurt to try!) to fill out this survey:

patreon . sjc1 . qualtrics.com / jfe / form / SV_9sjIUT9LuK5gzoq?id=18318428

(remove spaces around periods and slashes).

The art scanning part is obviously the most egregious, but it's a pretty small portion of it - please voice your concerns with allowing artificially created art & other AI tools tools in even if that isn't as immediately alarming to some.

Social experiment: if you know what this is don’t say anything just reblog

PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.

Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:

But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.

I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.

Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:

If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.

Long before the introduction of color film, a Russian chemist and photographer named Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky used an innovative technique. He took three individual black and white photos, each through a colored filter (red, green, and blue), to create fully colored, high-quality pictures. The photo of this woman, taken by him, is around 107 years old!
