sorry but. i truly do not understand the "ai is stealing" stance when it comes to fanfiction like. am i missing something is ai like....copying and pasting or is it just. reading a bunch of fanfiction and then writing something that is based off/inspired by/drawn from it. feel like i keep seeing people getting very upset abt like. chatgpt fics bc ai is "stealing" but i don't understand how it's functionally different from like. a human reading a bunch of fanfic and then. writing something inspired or influenced by what they've read. creation doesn't happen in a void and all fanfiction is derivative art anyway but i thought we were all on board w that....like i thought using the Derivative Art Website means u think derivative art can be worthwhile and valuable so....confused abt how this logic plays out.

#maybe bc every post ive seen thus far has just been confidently saying #'ai is stealing!!' without actually explaining what that means so. lmk if there is something i am missing #abt like. how ai functions when it comes 2 ai being used 2 write fics #anyway. is anyone awake does anyone wanna discuss...w me....#bc like. the other thing that confuses me abt this is like. nobody is making money from fanfiction....#what exactly is being stolen from u....it's not like somebody posting their chatgpt fic on ao3 is hurting u right??#maybe u personally don't like it or think chatgpt fics r bad for whatever reason but. that could be said for many things people post on ao3 #and it seems like the best course of action in that case is just 2 not read them right??#unless we are advocating for censorship on ao3 which. boy howdy how many times have we had THAT conversation yknow..#txt
