Generative Ai - Blog Posts
Oh HELL YEAH, pls get fucked
Good morning everybody
AO3 Was scraped for generative AI
Perhaps this is already common knowledge on this app, but I have yet to see anything about it in my feed. If you are unaware, an AI tech company called HuggingFace recently had a user by the name of nyuuzyou scrape our beloved AO3.
This scrape included over 63 MILLION fanfics written by the hard working, passionate, and incredible people of every fandom. The scrape was conducted with the intent of using the data to generate AI fanfiction and fiction. If you have a fanfic on AO3 that has an ID between 1-63 200 000, and is publicly accessible (not restricted to registered users), then your work was scraped and used in the process.
AO3 admins are currently searching for solutions and some kind of retributions. Until then, make sure to limit your works to registered users and show the real writers that you value their time and contribution to fandom.

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now
Hey, you reblogged that AI post and I was surprised to see something so mean on your blog. "If you cant write unassisted, fuck you, youre a disgrace to the community." Is that really something you want on your blog?
Just in case this isn't a spam message:
Posting AI-generated content to a platform intended to be an archive for writers is not appropriate use of the platform. On a platform intended for human creation, it is rude and inappropriate to clog search results with AI-produced content which often plagiarizes the work of human authors.
Use of generative AI is also horrible for our environment, leading to massive waste of fossil fuel energy and water. We should not be doing damage to our planet for the sake of generating (robot-produced, often plagiarized) fiction, especially when the joy of fiction comes from the creation and emotion of real people.
Rather than giving a prompt to a generative AI, people should consider attempting to write their own work, or asking another writer from the fandom if they would be interested in writing it. Anyone who is capable of typing a prompt into ChatGPT is capable of writing a story. The first attempts may not be amazing, but that is true of any skill, and anyone can improve with time and practice - and while ChatGPT may give you big returns in your time, it doesn't give you practice, growth, or creativity, which is where the joy of writing should come from.
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

Are you serious, nanowrimo?

FARAS : Leaked MakHa Archived Images
Date: 29th July 1948
The species is identified as 'MakHa', a name arising from the unique sound they produce during communication.
The MakHa are humanoid in form with tall, slender bodies and elongated limbs. They possess a distinctive elongated cranium, earning them the nickname "horse-head" among initial contact teams. Skin color varies from pale white to a more muted grey hue.
Unlike the Roswell aliens, they did not speak English. But one of them was able to use English, and the other learned quickly, so communication was soon possible.
MakHa society appears to treat all individuals equally, irrespective of their apparent age. Our observations suggest that this may not stem from moral or ideological concepts, but from the lack of significant functional and experiential differences between younger and older individuals.
The MakHa show clear signs of hostility towards the Roswell aliens, despite their likely shared origin. Our inquiries indicate that this antagonism is primarily due to pronounced ideological differences. The MakHa lean towards a more totalitarian and collectivist system compared to the Roswell one.
These MakHa were presumed to be artificially created creatures. They learned everything, but they felt mechanical, not by curiosity. Some officers taught them to play hide-and-seek, which they performed very well, but did not appear to have any pleasure or curiosity.
They didn't show much emotional change even after they understood that there was nothing they could change here. It's supposed to be because, in addition to their senses and nerves being different from modern humans, their view of time already has a good understanding of how these deterministic events work.
They just seemed content to understand and remember things around them. If they could have changed something, they would have acted as best they could, but they had already figured things out, so they didn't show much agitation or take any particular action in contact with some of the surviving Roswell aliens. Their behavior seemed very strange, but it wasn't that officers couldn't find their human side. They were fully communicative beings, and they wished their ancestors good luck.
