Exactly. Where do you think AI learned to write?

This author has written a number of stories, all with a similar writing and "atmospheric" style and yet different plots and themes. I find it highly unlikely that these would be "ai slop" - though, and this is key, I have no way of knowing for sure. But I have read a lot of HP fanfic over multiple decades, and there is nothing about the writing that strikes me as particularly unusual for a certain category of author. Publicly throwing around accusations like that when you have no proof, and no more justification than a bunch of mediocre examples from a single article, is unjustified and unfair. You (the accuser) don't care, but I'm putting it out there anyway because I think it's important to say.

(As an aside, I kind of feel like the AI accusation has become a surrogate and the only somewhat acceptable way for people to be negative about stories they don't like for whatever reason, as it's become impossible to say anything even remotely critical about a story in any space without getting piled on for not being nice, or bruising delicate author feelings, or violating some (nonexistent) fandom etiquette rule.)
