>> OH GOD YEAH, I'd seen a few folks get that and with already having knowledge of how much work they put into their writing, it felt like the equivalent of spitting in someone's favorite drink xD <<
I agree, that's cruel. But it's really just a minor variation of previous iterations in which people who can't write get their thrills by picking on people who have written, or bigots bashing all the gay romance novels where the queers don't die at the end. Haters gonna hate, just ignore them.
>> And agreed, it sucks b/c it's not much that can be done after it's been scraped, and I honestly wish something could've been done about out it sooner.<<
Locking your work does make it marginally harder to scrape in the future, but realistically, nothing electronic is ever secure. It is only easier or harder to access.
>> orz My only silver lining is that the AI that scraped all that fic get short circuited by all the crazier works xD <<
Imagine you're trying to write a research paper for Psychology about alpha personalities, and the chatbot spews out 10 pages of ABO pr0n with sniffing, biting, gallons of cum, knotting, and assbabies.
... that would make a hilarious story.
This is why my blanket statement includes an admonition not to use my work to train AI, a warning that I fry technology, and a declaration that if anyone uses my work and it causes problems then that is entirely their responsibility.
