So I just got this comment. A couple other people I know got very similar ones.
Now, I say this as someone who absolutely detests the use of AI for creative fields, but leaving comments like this, whether on art or on writing, is a bad idea.
I wrote the fic in question, by the best I can determine, a good six months before the AI program was created or made available to the public. It isn't possible for me to have used the program, even if I were okay with its use.
This screams of someone going on a witch hunt, just scanning fics to try and find those sneaky evil fandom creators and brand them as Bad. And they're getting it blatantly, laughably wrong. They're making people who are against the use of AI look stupid, which isn't helpful.
But maybe this comment was poorly worded. Maybe they'll were trying to say that they found proof that my fic was one the AI learned from and steals from to use when writing for others. Great. Congratulations. You've triggered my anxiety by showing me that something much greater than I had stolen my work and used it to help another profit. Stolen my fan content, which I can't defend against. Not everyone is able or willing to jump into a legal battle against AI companies; I certainly am not.
This is not helpful. This is a good way to to either start making people point fingers and blame the innocent, of making people feel small and helpless. If you want to do something about this extremely big problem, do actual work. Sign petitions. Spread information of how AI use is harmful. Don't start singling out individual people who may or may not be using AI programs to create with, because that's focusing on the wrong thing.

Doodle of Hiccup and Fishlegs from the httyd books cause I love them lol. They’re so silly!
Plus I’ve always loved the idea of Hiccup getting eaten and giving the person who ate him, well, hiccups. He’s sweet, but a menace to his friends

my number one hope after the boy wonder #2 is that fic writers start giving jason milky corpse eyes instead. my number two hope is that people continue to draw fanart of scarred jason looking like a sad wet dog I can use as inspiration. that is all.
