Well, I think it's time I officially take a stance here and say that I do NOT support or approve of the use of AI to generate fanfic, fanart, or those shitty videos that use the VA's likenesses for a dumb joke. I've never seen such rampant use of AI in any fandom before, and it's honestly making me a little bit sick. I never thought I'd have to do this because I truly thought it was common sense but I guess I was wrong.

You want to make a fic? Then sit your ass at your desk and use your brain and come up with the words yourself. You want to make a picture? Then pick up a god damned pencil and draw it yourself, lazy ass. You want to make a video? Make the voiceover yourself or use clips from the game, I promise it's literally funnier that way. Stop feeding REAL PEOPLE'S voices into machines without their knowledge or consent for a cheap laugh. Like... the fuck??

Do y'all not know how amazing it feels to make something with your own hands? Even if it doesn't live up to how you imagined it, creating is such a satisfying and beautiful process on its own. Why would you rob yourself of that feeling in the first place? I don't get it, man.

If you are shitting out AI-generated slop onto my feeds, I will block you so, so fast. Do me a favor and block me first though so I don't have to see that crap. Peace. ✌️
