seeing ao3 works tagged as AI generated or "i asked whatever to write this for me because i cant write" sucks so unbelievably bad. like yes the fanfiction archive definitely needs something written by a robot. very valuable and needs to be saved for safe keeping next to all the fics written with love by real people.
you literally CAN write. everyone can write. you can pick up your phone and google docs or your notes app and do it right now, you just dont want to. you CAN write what you want to see yourself. its better to view fandom/fanworks as ART instead of CONTENT. you can put your hyperfixation aside to not feed into AI. i promise you dont have to be that desperate.
theres literally no repercussions to writing when you dont have the 'writer' title. you dont need any title to do things. you can write and not be a writer. you need to understand the importance of art instead of complaining about unfinished ao3 fics on tiktok and forgetting the reason you like that unfinished fic so much is because a human person put love and passion into it.
obviously if youre posting AI fics on ao3 youre secretly interested in writing. just do it. you CAN be a writer, you just dont want to put effort into it. i promise effort does not equal stress. working hard or putting effort into a story is always more rewarding than satisfying your hyperfixation for 5 minutes by asking an AI to make something shitty by frankenstiening together real artists writing
im just saying you SHOULD care about how harmful AI is
also, another thing, nobody should ever be embarrased or ashamed of being a beginner of something and making something 'bad'. literally EVERYONE ever who is an artist sucked at the beginning. improving is apart of the joy of creation. ive noticed and im sure its no secret that tiktok specifically is hell on earth for every art form and barely anyone on that app 1. respects it and 2. has a filter. theyll say awful shit but every artist knows that those people shouldnt be listened to. any beginner should too. please dont be discouraged

still makes me crazy months after playing about aitsf's insane familial relationships. date who took mizuki in and raised her as his own where renju and shoko couldn't. mizuki who still loves shoko and renju dearly, but they can't provide what she needs. but she's able to find that parental love in date. hitomi who raises manaka's daughter like her own, and who means so so much to her she can't bear the thought of losing her. she'll go to great lengths to stop that from happening. mayumi who just wants the best for her son no matter how hard it is. ota who loves his mom so so much but doesn't really realize how much effort she puts in for him until her dementia's getting worse. saito who lacked the proper support system and any love or care from so sejima at all. ryuki who still can't get over his twin brother's death, like he lost his other half. komeji who's falling on hard times as a comedian but really just wants the best for his family and allows himself to get into dangerous situations for shoma's sake. shoma who, really deep down loves his dad, despite everything, but can't express that until it's too late in the true ending. bibi who cares so much about mizuki and is deeply protective of her even when mizuki's too young to really know it. kizuna who only really knew bibi for a few years as her foster sister but that time meant so much to her. shizue who took bibi in and just kinda lets her do her own thing, once she's grown. jin who was born out of an affair, and adopted by a different family, but his birth parents still going to great extremes to get rid of the tumors on his body. uru who was abandoned and kidnapped and used as a glorified organ donor, imprisoned and secluded away from the outside world, but longed for maternal love from tokiko, and resented jin for receiving the love he didn't get. tokiko who taught uru the teachings of naix out of pity. amame who's been forced to choose, forced to deal with the terrible hand she's dealt, wishing that if things had gone differently maybe her father would still be alive.

I'll never understand how people are still using character ai type sites. It's very often people who are otherwise all "ai art sucks because it's stealing art!!" too without realizing that SO DOES EVERY GENERATIVE AI. ALL LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS ARE STEALING COUNTLESS AMOUNTS OF WRITTEN WORK. this includes character ai. Just because We'll This One's Just Silly And Fun doesn't mean it's not doing the same thing.
"But you have to give it character dialogue and talk to it to train it!" Do you honest to god think that's the only data those sites use. Yknow how chatgpt scrapes a good chunk of the entire internet's worth of data and is still dumb as fuck? Yeah. That shits the bare minimum to even get it to be able to hold a conversation.
What you give it by feeding it dialogue and interacting with it gives it an idea of how it should talk, but without scraping tons and tons of stolen writing it wouldn't be able to really hold a conversation.
Not to mention just how bad all generative ai is for the environment. Just because it's cute and quirky doesn't change that.
"Just let people have their fun" a lot of you wouldnt say that to people making ai art or using chatgpt because for the exact shit I stated above. But because this is fun and nerdy and is a little less open about how much it's stealing you're ok with it.
If you (rightfully) didn't like it when this site decided to announce that it was selling blog data to midjourney but youre totally ok with character ai, you're a hypocrite.
Go read a fanfic or roleplay with a real person. Go support a real human's hard work, not a website likely scraping your fellow fandom-goers writing from ao3 just so you can sext the Plagiarism Machine.

it's a little weird to see the website that usually goes 'FUCK CORPORATIONS PIRATE AND STEAL FROM THEM FOREVER', when faced with two games utilising AI media generators, completely ignore the one that's not attached to any property in any way except perhaps Bram Stoker's Dracula that actively advertises its usage of AI as a central game mechanic, while tearing into the one that looks like something a large and hostile gaming corporation put out primarily because of that surface level similarity and only using the fact another game of theirs uses AI image generators

trying to get back into the shining force series and im slowly crumbling to dust over how insanely hard it is to keep track of vs the draken/nier series like with drakengard its like 1, 2, then you pretend nothing else happened ever again after that BUT you have a couple artbooks and novels on the side but shining force is like
shining in the darkness, shining force (okay!), shining force gaiden, shining force gaiden 2, shining force final conflict (related to gaiden but ALSO the og shining force, moreso than the other sfg games) and then
SHINING FORCE 2???????
but shining force gaiden was also a shining force 2, this is just THE shining force 2.... ANYWAYS you'd think "okay, sf3 is after this, right???"
SHINING WISDOM, SHINING THE HOLY ARK, THEN SHINING FORCE 3.......... (split into THREE scenarios, which weestern audiences only got one of i believe?)
and on top of that you have the 2004 gba remaster of the ORIGINAL shining force which fixes some of the localisation issues with the ORIGINAL genesis release from 1992, and i don't know if there are any artbooks which go further into these games on top of that??? i'll have to check...
then after that is the modern shining force games
will be honest first person jrpgs are NOT my cup of tea so i dunno how deep i'll get into shining in the darkness/shining wisdom but BOY.... where to even start with this series
like, release order obviously, but you know???
