Hi gays
Today as a joke i decided to test chatGPTs capabilities to write stories. I’ve heard a lot about it and I work in a university so I wanted to test how far it could go to create a piece of work.
So I asked it write me a cruella fanfiction. It wrote me one that was almost certainly plagiarising MY OWN FANFICTION!!!!! I’m really unhappy about it. (I suspect it’s pulled aspects from other peoples work too as it wasn’t entirely mine.)
My friend was the one who noticed it first, when she mentioned that it was written in a style that I would write, and then there were a few storyline details that was familiar to one of the chapters I wrote in evergreen.
I worked hard on my fanfic, even though they aren’t the best literary works, this is pretty disheartening to see. It’s disingenuous for it to take my work when I spent hours writing it. People are generating ChatGPT and AI fanfiction all the time now and it makes me feel like my work is not only being taken advantage of but also like there isn’t much point in me creating it.
Please don’t use ChatGPT to consume fanfiction if you value those creators who are actually spending hours writing these stories.
