Re: AO3 drama development

I don't disagree with what you're saying about AI and I don't get the point of AI fanworks (except perhaps in a case where someone can't write at all and wants some fic to read, and they keep it to themselves as drawerfic versus posting it as their own work.

My objection to AI generated fanwork (or "original" work for that matter) is related to the issue I have with people buying their cosplay. While professional costumers/people who make a living selling their cosplay work create amazing things, and I would love to squee at them in admiration and pick their brains about their handwork and creative processes, I can't do that if I complement someone on their cosplay that they purchased.

I don't get this, though. People like to dress up as characters they like, which is why Halloween and costume parties are fun. I don't grok your POV at all.

AYRT--I guess for me the people dressing up in premade stuff are like the people who can't write at all who use chatgpt etc to generate drawerfic. It's not the same as making stuff yourself. Dressing up might be fun, but making your own outfit is a separate hobby.

Idk, I know there's problems with viewing handmade/homemade stuff as more, idk, worthy/valuable than mass-produced, because that sets up an argument that people who can't/don't sew their own costumes/write their own fic/make food from scratch/whatever are somehow lesser than people that do. Which is dumb because people don't have to produce anything to be worthy of existing/being people, and also because no one can do everything themselves.

But there's still value in making things by hand, writing your own stories, cooking your own meals, even if you're not an expert or an artistic genius or anything. I'm certainly not; my very best work at any of my hobbies (and life in general) is maybe middling journeyman level and mostly not even that.

(One of the many things I'm only middling at is explaining myself, sorry.)
