I just wanted to come on here for a second to rant about AI usage for fanfictions.
Like, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I get using AI for school or work as a tool, to help you be more productive and help you find more resources... But using AI for creative purposes?? Have you actually lost your mind??
Literally NOBODY is forcing you to write this fanfiction. If you don't want to write it yourself, just stick to reading it. If there is a fanfiction you want to read so bad but it doesn't exist yet, write it yourself. Learn to love the craft of writing, gain a new skill. But if you don't like writing, just don't write. It's that simple. Writing is something you do for fun, as a creative outlet, something to help you relax or get your thoughts onto paper. It's a craft. Writing is personal. Even if it's messy with mistakes or isn't written very well, it's yours and for that it will always be beautiful.
Everyone who uses AI for creative purposes should be deeply ashamed. The robots were supposed to do our chores so we could create, not the other way around.
I'd rather read a 1000 badly written fanfictions by humans than a singular good fanfiction written by AI. Because you know what? Bad fanfictions are still good when they're flawed. I love seeing new writers practise their craft, even if it's not good yet, I know they will get there through practise. My writing isn't the best either, but you know what? I wrote it myself, it came from my own thoughts and feelings and I'm proud of all my work, even if I think it sucks. Why? Because through the years I got to see myself grow and get better at my craft. Even if I never get where I want to be, at least I did it myself. I improved over time and I got to exercise a my hobby.
AI fanfictions (and other forms of AI art) are a disgrace to real writers (and other REAL artists). If you don't want to make art yourself, don't make it at all.
Do it badly and do it proudly, but don't do it with AI.
