LISTEN. Do I like this?? NO, absolutely not, fuck the planet burning automatic plagiarism machine!
BUT! Look at me. LOOK AT ME!
It is VITAL that we do not flame in the tag. Do you know what will happen then?? PEOPLE WILL STOP TAGGING FOR GENERATIVE AI!!!
If you want to preserve your ability to filter a lot of this nonsense out? WALK AWAY. Rant on here, rant to your friends, rant in Discord, but DO NOT make asshole comments on these works!!!
Yeah. If they stop tagging their work for this, your blocking of the tag won’t keep them out of your searches.
In fact, don’t give stories with this tag engagement of any kind. Don’t give them hits. Don’t give them comments. Leave them to rot in the field with nothing to suggest to other readers that they contain anything worth seeing.
The one thing we have going for us is that people who use chat gpt/midjourney/any generative AI crap is that they are, for some reason, weirdly proud of it. Why is that good?
Because they tag their stuff as AI/midjourney/chatgpt/etc. Which means that whenever i see some weird art that strikes me as a little uncanny, instead of being a dick and say “this was made by ai!!!” with zero proof as some of you guys do, i can simply go to OP’s original post and see their tags. If its AI crap, 99% of the time it’ll be tagged as such bc for some reason they thing its a cool flex? (It baffles me as to why, but hey. Its good that they tag it as such).
Make posts mocking AI bros, tell off people who feed other’s fic to chatgpt to “see it finished”, do all that to your hearts content. But don’t flame their tags.
We need them to keep being dumb enough to tag it as AI because ita getting harder to tell from the get-go if something is weird bc of the artist’s style or if its because its generated crap.
