m_findlowQuestion for the group: has AO3 been taken over by AI bots?
I don't get a lot of comments on fics (and that's fine) but suddenly I had eight comments overnight on fics I posted yesterday, from "authors" who don't write in my fandoms or who only started posting a few days ago (though we all.know you can change the date something shows as being posted.)
All the comments are overly generic and syrupy, and don't match the fics they're posted with, making them sound fake:
Your story brought me so much joy and escapism. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I can't wait to read more of your work!
Wow! Your writing style is absolutely mesmerizing. The way you describe the settings and emotions is so vivid that I felt like I was right there with the characters, experiencing everything alongside them. It's a truly immersive reading experience.
The chemistry between the characters was off the charts! I couldn't get enough of their interactions. You really know how to write compelling relationships.
Wow, just wow! Your ability to evoke strong emotions through your words is unmatched. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn't help but fall in love with the characters all over again. Thank you for sharing this gem with us.
Your world-building skills are exceptional. The intricacies of the fictional universe you created were so well thought out and believable. It felt like I was exploring a new world alongside the characters.
This is hands down one of the best fanfics I've ever read. Your plot twists and character development were absolutely brilliant. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen until I finished reading. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
This fanfiction is a masterpiece! Your descriptive prose painted vivid imagery, and the dialogue was so authentic that I could practically hear the characters' voices in my head.
What a masterpiece! Your fanfiction touched my heart in so many ways. The depth of the character arcs and the powerful themes explored left a lasting impact on me. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Either the accounts are fake, or genuine author accounts are being hacked and used to post fake comments.
It's ruined the sanctity of the last proper refuge for authors.
Anyone else seeing this?
