There is something so deeply sad about AI fanon work. Even the most “unskilled” piece of fanon created by a passionate person moves me infinitely more than a “perfect” piece of machine output. I have read fics full of spelling errors and plot holes and gone back and re read and again as they have that spark in them of shared joy. A portrait scribbled in class in an ink pen of a favourite character makes me smile whereas the shiny AI art is just soulless. Keep fanon imperfect and AI free!
