Sorry for the random announcement, I just have to put this out there to anyone who might listen.
See, the other day I was re-reading a fav sonadow fic of mine, and in one of the comments sections I saw someone ask if the story was AI. Which honestly really shocked me, since I've read several of the author's stories and that has never occurred to me once. And it was clear by the Author's reply that they were really offended.
If you happen to come across a story or even artwork that you think is AI, please don't announce it unless you are REALLY certain, but even still- just don't. Because if it turns out it's not, you can really offend the creator. I would be horrified if someone asked me that too.
Stories and artworks take SO much time to create, and to be asked if it's AI can really hurt. So please, don't just randomly say it if you think it is, because you might destroy someone's joy in creating and putting all the effort in because somebody believes it's just a two-second generated work.
Once again, sorry for the rant- I just have to put it out there.
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week <3
