I found out several of my works were stolen for AI, so I'll go ahead and say it here too; I'm not going to engage in discourse over this, I'm just going to ask that if you use gen AI, please stop. It works by stealing other people's work to Frankenstein it together based on a prompt, and wastes a lot of water/energy. It's not helpful, it's not able to tell fact from fiction, and it's not even a true AI when it lacks any real intelligence and is unreliable.
          	
          	Everything of mine published from June 2023 to present was stolen for this AI dataset. While I wasn't able to post most of these to Wattpad, know that this is well over 30 works. It's nearly all of my one-shots and 2 of my long fics; Fox Magick and Leila of the Prey. It's beyond disrespectful to me and all the other authors who had their works stolen :/

@jplupine Informative. Good to know and honestly, many should be aware of this.

@EmaanEnchantedInk Yeah, nearly every gen AI's dataset is made up of stolen works scraped from the internet. Some folks claimed an ethically sourced AI dataset was impossible since most people don't want their work fed into the program as fodder. So, AI largely runs on theft, and there are several copyright lawsuits against AI for this reason.

@jplupine This is terrifying and beyond cheating. Writing needs to be loved and created by own not copied.
          	  I didn't know how AI can be utilized in this, this is unfair and rude.

I'm embarrassed to ask, but would you do a Dorohedoro story again? I really loved fox magick!

jplupine

@vegapvnk I'm not 100% certain if I will, but I do have some ideas for another Dorohedoro fic floating around. Fox Magick still isn't finished, so any other Dorohedoro ideas are going to be put to the side until it's completed.

I really love your stories. They completely suck me in,which is why i can only read them after my kids are in bed haha. Keep up the amazing work. 

jplupine

@NicoleBodine Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying them ^-^

I'm getting really tired of finding out people have straight up stolen my stories word for word and thinking because they changed a few things, like replacing my OC with another character, then it's not stealing. It is. Copy/pasting my story and only changing a few details is plagiarism, not inspiration (ㆆ_ㆆ)
          
          Adding that you were "inspired" by me in your summary doesn't mean stealing my work is okay. I'll add a link to the proof my work was stolen once I have it all together so y'all know I'm not being dramatic- it's literally copy/pasted and some editing to get rid of my characters.

EmaanEnchantedInk

@jplupine omg, that's terrible! And yes quoting 'inspired' that makes no sense
            >:(

All right, here are several screenshots to prove they did indeed copy/paste my work. Just....come on y'all at least write your stories in your own words => https://www.tumblr.com/jplupine/781767019244781568/another-one

The irony of me trying to edit a fic only for Wattpad to be experiencing bugs with saving/publishing LMAO Also....I really need to stop saying I'll post more 'cause it seems to jinx it every time. I've been so busy working and trying to catch up financially that I haven't had much time to write and it sucks T-T
          
          To boot, I got sucked into K-dramas and C-dramas and have been binging those while I work. I've watched Alchemy of Souls like 3 times at this point [and so many historical romances] but they seem to help make working less stressful with how fun and dramatic they are!

@EmaanEnchantedInk I have not! I'll try to find it to watch ^-^

@jplupine Have you watched 'Goblin' ? It's good.

It's been a pretty rough few years, but I'm eternally grateful to all of you who have been kind in your comments and patient with chapter updates. After a long time of struggling, I was finally able to get the meds I needed and they've helped a lot! I hope to update more frequently/consistently now that some health issues are more manageable.
          
          For anyone interested and wanting to help support me in some way, I have a handmade business now with its own online shop! I currently make a lot of bags and wearables like bandanas and beanies. Customs are also available if the current stock doesn't suit your fancy ^-^

For those who don't follow me anywhere else, I WAS going to do a lot of updates this month- I have several chapters for various fics partly written- but that all had to be put on hold due to irl issues. I had to open emergency sales/donos and scramble for money since the mortgage had been raised and we couldn't refinance this month as planned. We were able to scrape up the money in time, and hopefully, next month won't be as hectic and stressful.
          
          The kindness people have shown me is very heartwarming and I'm so very grateful. I love writing but in situations such as these, it of course gets put on the backburner. I even started a crochet business with the hopes that it helps alleviate some of the financial stress while also giving me time to enjoy writing and it thankfully helped us during this! The updates I planned for this month will still be coming even if later than I had expected (╯▽╰ )

jplupine

For those not on Tumblr, I explained that I found at least 4 of my works stolen along with many other authors' fics today- It's already being taken care of with reports and DMCAs.
          
          If y'all want people to keep creating, whether it's fanwork or originals, please don't support reposted/stolen work. If you see something like 'credit to the creator' or some variation of it, the work has been stolen. If someone says another person wrote the work but there's no evidence they had permission to repost the work, it's most likely stolen as well.
          
          People supporting reposters has driven away so many wonderful creators already; please, do not knowingly add to the problem.

In light of the recent announcement from Wattpad about the changes in their content guidelines, I advise anyone wanting to keep up with my work to follow me on other platforms such as Tumblr or AO3. Wattpad is changing their rules around 18+ content and censoring fiction even more than they previously did.
          
          The rise in censorship, especially around 18+ content, is NOT a good sign. These changes to the rules also make no sense when the Mature toggle is already in place and meant to keep mature works to mature audiences. These puritanical standards have already driven off many wonderful creators and will continue to drive off even more.
          
          I already have many works I am unable to post here due to pre-existing rules, but these updated rules may put several of my posted stories at risk of sudden deletion. So if you'd like to read the stories I can't post here and keep up with stories that might get taken down, you can find me at jplupine on Tumblr [linked in bio] and at J_P_Lupine on AO3.

@mynameisnotjessica Thank you! And I hope so, too. This whole thing is a dumpster fire (;′⌒`)

@jplupine ❤️❤️❤️❤️ keep doing what you're doing fam, I hope this Wattpad situation gets better but it probably won't. Glad you have more stuff and backs ups on tumblr and AO3 though! ✨ 
            I hope your works don't get deleted, they're already marked mature!
