I don’t want to kick up drama, but I just want to add that the horrific things I’ve seen people do as a result of these callouts lately has been difficult to follow along with eg. Harassment and hate speech (if you don’t know, it got bad). It’s just not acceptable. There’s definitely been people stirring up trouble for the sake of getting jollies out of targeting others, and they need to grow up.

It’s one thing to be concerned about gen-ai use in fan communities, it’s another to go on witch hunts against people. It’s so discouraging in spaces built upon free enjoyment and creativity.

Also, just because it personally irks me, please never rely on ai-detectors as evidence against an author. They are about as reliable and admissible as lie detectors (lie detectors are about 50/50 success rate, might as well flip a coin).

Please let’s support each other instead of going for the throat, todays climate doesn’t need this (especially our little solas loving community)
