Fans' attitudes toward AI-generated works

Irina Cisternino, a PhD candidate of Stony Brooke University, is writing their research on topics related to technology, art and fandom. You can participate by filling out a survey and additionally, signing up for an interview. The survey is expected to last until at least the end of April, those, who signed up for the interview, will be contacted later. You need to be at least 18 years old to participate in either, be able to understand and speak English and identify as a fan.

After the completion of the research, it will be accessible as the dissertation of the researcher. If you have further questions, you can contact Irina Cisternino at irissa.cisternino@stonybrook.edu or Lu-Ann Kozlowsky at lu-ann.kozlowski@stonybrook.edu.

They're also raffling off seven $50 in Amazon gift cards for participation, if that's a good motivator for anyone

This is rad and a well developed survey.

This was brilliant. I got to let off a bit of steam about how shitty AI is in general and how SUPER shitty it is to find it in fandom spaces.

Okay, so, looks like Google Docs might actually start implementing their rule about not sharing explicit content. (This includes writing.) How in the ever loving fuck am I supposed to back up 1,000+ stories that equate to 3 million+ words into fucking Microsoft Word????? And efficiently, for that matter?! HELP.

I figured out how to move all my stuff onto Microsoft Word!

See those three dots next to the folder name? Click on that.

Then it'll give you the download option.

Once downloaded, it'll save the folder as a compressed zip file! All the documents inside are changed to Word files, and you can view and edit them now.

Now I know how to move 3 million+ words onto my laptop. It'll still take a bit, but not nearly as long as I'd imagined.

I would like to add that I am not trying to fear-monger. However, it is part of Google Drive’s TOS to not share explicit material, be it sexual or violent. (So, basically what I write.)

This occurrence seems to be rare. Read about it here.

Besides, it is better to have everything on your own hard drive vs Google docs. You retain more ownership over your work that way.

Abuse Program Policies & Enforcement - Google Docs Editors Help
The program policies below apply to Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and new Sites. These policies play an important role to maintain a p

Someone pointed out that I did not provide the ToS, which, my bad. Again, not trying to cause a panic or anything. Just saying that Google is not a safe place to keep your writing/art.

This is the specific part of the ToS that I was looking at:

And this is the part that says they can restrict access to your writing or remove it entirely for breaking the ToS:

So, yeah. An author lost access to their writing due to sharing it with beta and alpha readers. It seems like an isolated incident as far as I’m aware, but you can never be too careful. Back up your stuff if you can.

Reblogging mostly for the How To Backup From Gdocs info too many don't know about; this also works with Libre and others, as that's what I have.

Still investigating for more than anecdotal evidence this is actually a new concern with Gdocs, or if someone got hit with a ban for something weird with the automation.

Yes, the TOS information is still there and always has been, but whether the auto-mods are trying to catch out private writings and fiction shared or not, I'm still digging for more than screenshots from 1 group chat. The links in the screenshots (linked by OP in one of the reblogs) are the monthly Search updates report and the basic TOS info.

It's also possible someone simply reported the writer which is how they got hit, given the policy page linked.
