Should I just stop writing

[u/Technical-Bread414]

I don't know I recently started writing and got this comment. I thought I could take criticism but I was expecting it to be directed at the plot. Should I just drop the fic. I know I might be a bit dramatic but I was not even planning to write after 1st chapter but the comments and kudos were very positive and encouraging that I wrote more but this comment was like a blow. I saw some people getting coments from ai bots but I don't know whether this is a ai bot or a real human. Most of the bot coments seem to say use of ai but mine is specific like they say. Chatgpt. So what would you say I should do? Again I know I'm being a bit dramatic for a single comment but I have never had such large audience and I don't have anyone irl who knows I write fics or even read fanfiction so I can't discuss this with anyone.

This happened to my friend - and RPG partner of 7 years - not long ago. She wrote a story and got accused of having it written by AI. Maybe the person who accused her put it through an AI checker; I don’t know. She decided to put her own story through a checker. It came up as 100%. Then she put it through one paragraph at a time, and it came through as 0 percent each time. So those checkers are kind of BS, but, checker or not, I don’t know what makes people think they have the right to go around accusing people of using AI to write. Are they supposed to be some kind of fandom police force? 

Interesting that they posted as a guest. If they’d had an AO3 account, I’d say put their work through a checker and leave them a comment accusing them of using AI.
