Remus Lupin and his sad, whorish eyes deserve to be studied! Please picture him wearing Hello Kitty panties as you look at this.

This. Everything about this and more. Generative AI should have absolutely no room in fandom spaces.

We’re supposed to promote and encourage creativity and imagination. Generative AI takes the hard work that people have used their creativity and imagination on and repackages them into soulless, selfish, unimaginative, and uninspiring slop.

Justifying the use of Generative AI, no matter how small, is exactly what big corporations want us to do. That’s exactly how they’re getting away with their blatant AI use and that’s exactly why artists are rapidly being seen as replaceable and our craft obsolete.

Art movements like the Renaissance were so important because of their emphasis on the importance of the arts in our society. Renaissance Humanism underscored the value of being human and the artistic gifts that we have at our disposal and how we should utilize them. We still talk about the works that came out of the Renaissance. Art makes an impact. Fanart, fanfiction, etc. all count towards that impact.

Please read the links that OP provided. Educating yourself is the first step in understanding why artists have been pleading for others to stop using Generative AI.

Hey, (not so) casual reminder that generative AI has no place in fandom spaces, and I mean any generative AI use.

The “level” with which genAI is used, whether by an individual or a company, does things to this planet regardless. Scale does not matter.

Every prompt you put into genAI uses an amount of fresh water that, once evaporated, will never exist on this planet again.

Here are some resources for education yourself and others on the environment aspects of genAI usage, mostly centered toward the power consumption and data center impact.

I think it’s also important to note that genAI not only impact the environment, but also creative communities. Writers and artists have their work stolen daily to train genAI models, and those models spit out their work in a predictive manner.

Generative AI predicts the most likely results of whatever prompt you give it based off of material it has been fed—this is plagiarism, plain and simple.

If you are curious about fandom aspects of genAI specifically, I’d like to point you in the direction of this article by rolling stone: link

One of the individuals interviewed for this article, Elle, made a Reddit post about a commenter on ao3, and how they’d been feeding her work into ChatGPT in order to “get the next chapters earlier.” Here is the link to Elle’s original post: link

Please be aware that your use of generative AI, in any capacity, contributes to the things listed above, as well as the encouragement and normalization of mass plagiarism in our communities.

Do not be shocked or surprised when people in this space choose to turn their backs on you, block you, or oust you when they find out you participate in its use.

If I found out any piece of writing I’d created had been fed to genAI, through a roleplay bot or otherwise, I’d not only be devastated, but disgusted. I’d leave fandom spaces because of it. It’s not fun, and it’s not quirky.

Girl dad Remus Lupin truthers RISE!!! The love for baggy sweaters is hereditary and no one can tell me otherwise. Baby girl inherited Reg’s coloring and his sass!

[bulsusu]

Part of my Moonwater musicians AU I still need to work on. Remus is a drummer in that one and I am basically living vicariously through Regulus in this because I, too, need drummer Remus Lupin carnally. Anyways. Happy happy birthday, Remus! This piece has taught me the importance of never rendering another drawing ever again <3

“Moonwater size and height difference,” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“She’s right,” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the back of the room: Remus Lupin himself (Regulus is also behind him, but I can’t even see him on his tippy-toes </3).

Anyways, to all the moonwater height (and size) difference truthers out there—this one’s for you.

Moonwater sketch that I don’t think I’ll ever color in :,) I love these babies soooo much. Regulus with Inferi scars is *chef’s kiss*
