I'm never going to stop sharing the story of how I got a "this cheating author is using AI, everybody report them!!" comment on an update that had no text in it. (Just images.)

The "report their profile" thing is a giveaway that this isn't sincere:

1) LLM-generated fics are not against AO3's TOS. One of the big reasons for that is, to protect real authors from being harassed through false reports exactly like this

2) If the commenter is really mad, they could've just reported the "problem" themselves. But instead, they're trying to pressure legitimate, active, non-bot users to do the reporting on their behalf? Suspicious as hell
