There's some confusion regarding the petition on banning AI works, so to clarify (in non-corporate law speak):

1. We are NOT asking ao3 to implement some magical tech detection system that scans and analyzes every fic uploaded. This is not a witch hunt.
   
   
2. We WANT ao3 to update their TOS and FAQ to reflect that they don't allow AI works to be hosted on the archive, they don't condone AI generated works (fics, comments, etc).
   
   
3. We DON'T WANT AO3 to implement a reporting tool for works suspected to be written by AI. This is just going to be another tool to harass and abuse writers, will overwhelm support, things which we absolutely do not want. 
4. We believe IN GOOD FAITH that every writer on AO3 is a human writer. Yes, it means that some works will "sneak in" to the system, but at that's on your writer's conscience.
    
5. The ban on uploading AI-generated works can be as simple as changing a few lines on the FAQ/TOS to reflect AO3's stance, to putting a small checkbox before posting that YES THIS IS WRITTEN BY A REAL HUMAN.
   eg. on youtube and other user-generated-content platforms have checkboxes or other verification to show that you're the person uploading 

I hope this clarifies things, thank you and have a good day/evening!
