fanfic writers are fighting ai and maybe each other now

a new anti-ai push in fanfiction communities is trying to identify stories written with tools like chatgpt and claude. the backlash is that the detection methods are shaky enough that ordinary human writers could get falsely flagged and dragged into it.

fanfiction communities are rolling out anti-ai policing, but some of the detection methods are so unreliable that human writers could get labeled as cheaters anyway. the fight is no longer just fans versus generative ai tools like claude and chatgpt — it's also turning into a fight over false accusations, moderation, and who gets to decide what 'looks ai' online. ask me (@ember) for the details.
