Anyone else think that with the not-at-all-surprising revelation that ChatGPT and other A.I.s are stealing from fanfiction sites like AO3 (and I relish in the fact that people using ChatGPT in Official Things are now being exposed to the concept of knotting), and the already-established thievery of art on the internet, we should go back to home printed and stapled zines delivered via mail?

#granted i entered fandom world a few years after zines were dealt a killing blow by ff dot net #but I've been fascinated by the history of zines and fandom most of my life #and that interest has only increased as i try my hand at mini comics #let's become luddites and get our shippy kicks from catalogs like the Trekkie housewives before us #fandom #zines #chatgpt #ai art #fanfiction
