If you use character a.i. for fun, I suggest you keep that as your dirty little secret.
Your fun little app is stealing from writers--it comes at a cost that's paid in harm to the rest of us.
You'll find yourself blocked by most online creatives once they see how proud (or not ashamed) you are of your carefree use of a system that ruins fandom by stealing their hard work.
This theft damages the motivation of writers and artists to continue sharing their work with anyone.
You hurt us all by your selfish use of generative a.i.
Keep it to yourself or be blocked once you're found out.

Okay, since the AI discourse is happening again, I want to make this very clear, because a few weeks ago I had to explain to a (well meaning) person in the community how AI works. I'm going to be addressing people who are maybe younger or aren't familiar with the latest type of "AI", not people who purposely devalue the work of creatives and/or are shills.
The name "Artificial Intelligence" is a bit misleading when it comes to things like AI chatbots. When you think of AI, you think of a robot, and you might think that by making a chatbot you're simply programming a robot to talk about something you want them to talk about, and it's similar to an rp partner. But with current technology, that's not how AI works. For a breakdown on how AI is programmed, CGP grey made a great video about this several years ago (he updated the title and thumbnail recently)
I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you watch this because CGP Grey is good at explaining, but the tl;dr for this post is this: bots are made with a metric shit-ton of data. In C.AI's case, the data is writing. Stolen writing, usually scraped fanfiction.
How do we know chatbots are stealing from fanfiction writers? It knows what omegaverse is [SOURCE] (it's a Wired article, put it in incognito mode if it won't let you read it), and when a Reddit user asked a chatbot to write a story about "Steve", it automatically wrote about characters named "Bucky" and "Tony" [SOURCE].
I also said this in the tags of a previous reblog, but when you're talking to C.AI bots, it's also taking your writing and using it in its algorithm: which seems fine until you realize 1. They're using your work uncredited 2. It's not staying private, they're using your work to make their service better, a service they're trying to make money off of.
"But Bucca," you might say. "Human writers work like that too. We read books and other fanfictions and that's how we come up with material for roleplay or fanfiction."
Well, what's the difference between plagiarism and original writing? The answer is that plagiarism is taking what someone else has made and simply editing it or mixing it up to look original. You didn't do any thinking yourself. C.AI doesn't "think" because it's not a brain, it takes all the fanfiction it was taught on, mixes it up with whatever topic you've given it, and generates a response like in old-timey mysteries where somebody cuts a bunch of letters out of magazines and pastes them together to write a letter.
(And might I remind you, people can't monetize their fanfiction the way C.AI is trying to monetize itself. Authors are very lax about fanfiction nowadays: we've come a long way since the Anne Rice days of terror. But this issue is cropping back up again with BookTok complaining that they can't pay someone else for bound copies of fanfiction. Don't do that either.)
Bottom line, here are the problems with using things like C.AI:
It is using material it doesn't have permission to use and doesn't credit anybody. Not only is it ethically wrong, but AI is already beginning to contend with copyright issues.
C.AI sucks at its job anyway. It's not good at basic story structure like building tension, and can't even remember things you've told it. I've also seen many instances of bots saying triggering or disgusting things that deeply upset the user. You don't get that with properly trigger tagged fanworks.
Your work and your time put into the app can be taken away from you at any moment and used to make money for someone else. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people who use AI panic about accidentally deleting a bot that they spent hours conversing with. Your time and effort is so much more stable and well-preserved if you wrote a fanfiction or roleplayed with someone and saved the chatlogs. The company that owns and runs C.AI can not only use whatever you've written as they see fit, they can take your shit away on a whim, either on purpose or by accident due to the nature of the Internet.
(also, this goes without saying, but this entire post also applies to ai art)

This defeatist attitude of "well it is what it is, gofundmes will keep stagnating and won't work" will push people away from trying to organize anything and those who are sitting on their hands will get one more affirmation that this is a lost cause. Palestinians are literally dying! Need I remind you that these fundraisers are their lifelines?? It has been repeatedly said that if someone cannot donate, then they should at least boost and that means more than just reblogging-> posting on other social media/ sending it to group chats/ sending it to your family, friends, colleagues etc to seek out potential donors. There is more than one way to help...Anyway I got this comment under a post I made for Siraj Abudayeh. Idk what else to say except to request you to not be complacent, as this harms him and every other Gazan who is fundraising to survive.
Donate and if you can't then boost. We have to get to 60k by tomorrow.

I hope everyone will pay attention to my compaign until it succeeds🥹🥹🙏
I am the dentist Ahed from Gaza🍉, Palestine🇵🇸, and you know what has been happening in Gaza for months.
We have died from hunger, bombing, poverty, and deprivation of our basic rights, 22 years of events, wars, and patience, and now we have lost everything, our home, our dreams, my family, my friends, my studies, and my university. We lost everything, and we are dying from hunger, poverty, and lack of aid other than the violent bombing.
My parents are sick. My mother suffers from pneumonia and my father is diabetic. Now I hope to get out of this situation with my family to rebuild our lives from the beginning and complete my university studies. I hope you can help me, if Being able to donate even a little can make a big difference to them, so please consider clicking the link below to donate or Share or reblog .

Hello, I am Oday from Gaza. I created a link to my gfm campaign to get me and my family out of Gaza. We live in very harsh living conditions. I contracted viral hepatitis as a result of malnutrition and there is no cure here. We die every day from the extreme heat of the tent, insects and scorpions. My sister is about to give birth to her first child. Our biggest fear is where will this child live in these circumstances? Help us bear the costs of leaving Gaza and the difficult costs of living and treatment.
I hope you will help us by donating or reposting. Make sure that every $5 can make a big difference in our lives
Your support and contributions are very important and appreciated, and I hope that you will continue to support us until we achieve the goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻
