Fan fiction writers are trolling AIs with omegaverse stories

Fan fiction writers know that their work is being used to train generative AIs, and they’re not happy about it. Now, “Omegaverse” writers are participating in a week-long writing marathon called Knot in my Name to encourage the fan community to publish as much of their fan fiction as possible. It’s a long-shot attempt to mess with AI generators, but why not try?
As generative AI becomes more mainstream, numerous communities of writers and artists have spoken out against the technology’s appropriation of original creative works, from striking TV writers to record labels. Fanfic writers had their own moment of reckoning when Sudowrite, an AI-powered fiction writing tool, was found to be trained on Omegaverse fan fiction.
