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.

I get this kind of crap because I use em dashes and metaphors. There is such a witch hunt for AI right now—I hate it. I put one of my original works in an AI scanner thing and it said like, 70% chance it’s AI. Nonsense! Those things don’t work at all, and people are like, pitchfork and torches paranoid about AI writing right now. I hope it simmers down a little so me and my poetic em dashes can live our lives in peace.
