I'm seeing some frustration over fandom creatives expressing anger or distress over people feeding their work into ChatGPT. I'm not responding to OP directly because I don't want to derail their post (their intent was to provide perspective on how these models actually work, and reduce undue panic, which is all coming from a good place!), but reassurances that the addition of our work will have a negligible impact on the model (which is true at this point) does kind of miss the point? Speaking for myself, my distress is less about the practical ramifications of feeding my fic into ChatGPT, and more about the principle of someone taking my work and deliberately adding it to the dataset.
Like, I fully realize that my work is a drop in the bucket of ChatGPT's several-billion-token training set! It will not make a demonstrable practical difference in the output of the model! That doesn't change the fact that I do not want my work to be part of the set of data that the ChatGPT devs use for training.
According to their FAQ, ChatGPT can and will use user input to train itself. The terms and conditions explicitly state that they save your chats to help train and improve their models. (You can opt-out, but sharing is the default.) So if you're feeding a fic into ChatGPT, unless you've explicitly opted out, you are handing it to the ChatGPT team and giving them permission to use it for training, whether or not that was your intent.
Now, will one fic make a demonstrable difference in the output of the model? No! But as the person who spent a year and a handful of months laboring over my fic, it makes a difference to me whether my fic, specifically, is being used in the dataset. If authors are allowed to have a problem with the ChatGPT devs for scraping millions of fics without permission, they're also allowed to have a problem with folks handing their individual fics over via the chat interface.
I do want to add that if you've done this to a fic, please don't take this as me being upset with you personally! Folks are still learning new information and puzzling out what "good" vs. "bad" use is, from an ethical standpoint. (Heck, my own perspective on this is deeply based on my own subjective feelings!) And we certainly shouldn't act like one person feeding a fic into ChatGPT has the same practical negative impact, on a broad societal scale, as a team using a web crawler to scrape five billion pieces of artwork for Stable Diffusion.
The point is that fundamentally, an ethical dataset should be obtained with the consent of those providing the data. Just because it's normalized for our data to be scraped without consent doesn't make it ethical, and this is why ChatGPT gives users the option to not share data— there is actually a standardized way (robots.txt) for website servers to set policies for how bots/crawlers can interact with them, for exactly this reason— and I think fandom artists and authors are well within their rights to express a desire for opting out to be the socially-respected default within the fandom community.

I definitely need to observe this more but I feel like in a lot of actual play or adjacent (ie, sf podcast) fandoms there's like. a particular fan mindset that takes almost every action from secondary characters in the worst faith possible with the exception of villainous/deeply morally ambiguous characters, and so you get people who will assume everyone is out to get the protagonists EXCEPT for the person who has shot at them 20 times while kicking a puppy; that person is misunderstood and deserved a redemption arc.

Okay I know I have a whole post about how Doriath was screwed no matter what Dior did, and I stand by that! Nothing I say here is I tended to dismiss those factors.
But when you compare the kinslaying at Menegroth to the kinslayings at Alqualonde and Sirion, it's like. What the fuck happened.
Alqualonde makes sense because it was a surprise and a mistake in a culture that had no expectation of being attacked--and even then the teleri damn near won that fight.
Sirion makes sense because it was a hodge podge refugee settlement with, one presumes, minimal time or resources to dedicate to defenses. And even then they killed at least one maybe two of the feanorian leaders, and Elwing managed to escape. Under the circumstances, they did great.
But if you compare those two to Menegroth... damn, the Iathrim do not look good. I don't think they were ever likely to straight out win against or beat the feanorians (see the post referenced above), but they were fighting an enemy they knew damn well was coming*, on their own home turf that's been nominally defensible since before the sun rose. It should have been a seige. Even if you assume that half of their fighting forces died with Thingol (which seems excessive tbh), they should have been able to seal things up and buy time! What the fuck happened. What did they do, that they were so underprepared that a refugee camp could do just about as well???
*I cannot buy the argument that the iathrim were taken off-guard by the attack. I just cannot. If you don't buy that Dior considered the feanorians a threat, at absolute bare minimum they should have been on high alert for an attack from Morgoth. If they're not braced for attack then they're too stupid to survive first age belariand.

OOC: Exploring Online Fandom Roleplay - Coming Soon!
Tumblr media
Art by piscesdisco.art.
OOC is a book that deep dives into online fandom roleplay, across fandoms and platforms and decades. It covers why people roleplay, the connections they make doing it, and the etiquette and subcultures we see in different roleplaying communities.
I've interviewed dozens of roleplayers, surveyed hundreds more, and I've been a roleplayer in fandom spaces myself for over 15 years. If we don't write and save information about our niche internet fan communities and how they worked, we'll lose it, and I've realized there's such a huge lack of literature on fandom. I decided to put together this book to cover the topic of online fandom roleplaying, to preserve that history.
Our communities are full of trans and queer people, and the ways we use roleplay to explore gender and sexuality are highlighted in the book. Other topics covered include: the safety of minors in roleplaying spaces, the death of Omegle, how Homestuck and Sherlock and Star Trek all had big impacts on the way online roleplay works, why roleplay attracts neurodivergent people, and a lot more! There's an entire chapter covering roleplay over Tumblr.
Tumblr media
Check out a few of the quotes from roleplayers I interviewed here.
A lot of people are embarrassed by their history of online roleplaying, keeping it to themselves, and I think it's about time we overcome the cringe associated with roleplay and treat it like the vibrant expression of creativity that it is.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please share this post and sign up here to be notified when the Kickstarter launches:
This is a small project, so any interaction and support helps a lot.

played dragon age 2...just simple scribbles
#dragon age tag#i doubt that will see much use again..but who knows. vvv rambling below#weird game..the characters dialogue stuff and ending were good tho :')#i've played some of the first game but it kept crashing. i knew already despite knowing nothing that this guy was going to be my type#it doesnt feel right making video game art any more bc games like this end up feeling really personal - an experience that happened to me#if i design the main character a bit and fall in love then..that happened to me..i can't make Fan Art of that..only ive been through that..#like i cant make fanart of my dear companions in bg3 despite it having been a huge part of my heart in the last year#almost 1000 hours of playtime in something i can barely talk about bc it means too much.... lol#tons of ideas and conversations and extra thoughts and scenes and emotions about all the incredible times i've been through in bg3#and the maelstrom just rotates around intensely in my own heart forever...but that's ok too...that is so precious to me#but fortunately i already knew people that have played this game and talked/drew abt it recently so it was saved from that for me#sharing scribbly fanart on my Blog is a way to capture the feeling just after experiencing something so it has good points#witch hat atelier escapes that by not being a GAME. games are so immersive. but my wha art & feelings are incredibly immersive too#which makes it difficult sometimes now. i live a complicated and emotional life <3 i am not suited to fandom <3#my character ended up looking so much like oru without me realising that's what i was doing. Kind bearded fireball throwing gay mage. Hmm.#falling for a sad white hair memory trauma fellow that keeps you at a tragic distance. Hmmmmmm.#i see also how very much bg3 is inspired by stuff like dragon age now lol so i'm glad i experienced it. I WANT MY KIRKWALL LIFE BACK...#so dated though as well and unpleasant at times (the city and the dismal atmosphere was depressing.) i hate violence/horror..#bg3 is SOOOO very dismal but it feels like I am killing people and going through horrors because i have to survive i have to be free#Well anyway. ahh it's so refreshing to fall in love. my gay journey continues...

it's actually quite amusing watching people discuss jurian like he's some disgraced youtuber over a comment that doesn't matter and that elain ultimately won't give one shit about because she wasn't around to hear it

I don’t think this is an unpopular opinions but lowkey fannon kailor is sm better than cannon kailor.
(Read the tags)
#I’m not even huge on kailor but I this thought just came into my head as I thought ab Sky#cuz I was thinking ab how it would be awesome if we got Skylor to come back at least for a cameo#but then I thought ab how sucky it would be if the show tried to keep on trying to push Kai and sky to be together#because it would feel so forced atp#the show just writes them so bad it just feels like everytime they bring Skylor back to the show#which is like- whenever there’s BIG emergencies#the writers remember that ‘hey! Skylor is also Kai’s love interest! let’s give them some cute moments together!’#it’s like they’re not even trying 💀#and even in the book ‘quest for the lost powers’ they were *KINDAA* cute but tbh the way Kai acted w Skylor pissed me off#and I love Kai btw but damn reading their part made me feel like she deserves better 😭#but if they really tried#they could actually make a great couple#srs#which is why fannon content for them is sm better#but I feel like usually that’s the case for most fandoms or shows#so that’s why I doubt it’s an unpopular opinion#and tbh it would also be interesting to see Kai just admit that his past relationship failed and that’s ok#portray a healthy breakup that would be awesome 🔥🔥#but that’s just my personal opinion and my desire to see more complex relationships and stuff like that lol#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago#dragons rising#ninjago dr#Ninjago Kai#Kai Ninjago#skylor ninjago#ninjago skylor#kailor#kai x skylor

so i think stats on ao3 stories say more about the size and activity of the fandom at the time of posting rather than anything terribly meaningful about the quality of the story in particular, and as a result i don't take my own numbers very seriously, but i think taking them instead as a metric of the community, it can be very fun and meaningful to see certain milestones passed. i just saw my obikin stories have more than 750k hits from over the last four years, and that's amazing proof of community to me, like it's so cool that i could be in the right place at the right time to be a part of that movement, something so much bigger than myself. the fandom has been through so much, from the pandemic activity boom and the end of tcw to the kenobi show doing its propaganda work, so many brilliant people coming and going, it's been a real journey haha it's got me feeling nostalgic and proud to see proof of just how many people over the years have explored the ship and loved it as much as i do!!

My heart is squeezing fuck in another lifetime maybe Simon would be able to run away with Johnny. Maybe in another lifetime they could hold each other in their arms and feel safe for the first time. Maybe in another lifetime Simon didn’t have words choked in his throat, jaw flexing and neck twitching just to get the words out to express his undying love for Johnny. Maybe in another lifetime they would be able to feel their skin against each other and to understand what it means to have a soulmate, not that either of them believed in it in the first place. Maybe in another lifetime Simon wouldn’t be holding Johnny’s hand for the last time, watching the red trickle down the side of his head. Maybe in another lifetime simon and Johnny would just have someone to love without an outworldly force determined to tear them apart
