AI project feeding off AO3
Mar. 9th, 2025 12:48 pmI got a comment on my single Dutch language fanfic on AO3, from a university research assistant working in the Netherlands. They don't speak Dutch. They want to feed my work to a "computational model" (that means AI, in case you were wondering).
The project is meant to "train computational models to explore what readers value in a story".
"For his research, Pianzola will use artificial intelligence to analyze millions of stories and their responses, from sites in five different languages -, English, Spanish, Italian, Korean and Indonesian - collected from countries on all continents. That analysis provides a wealth of information about the characters in a story, the genre, what a story is about, how a story is constructed, what themes are covered, as well as what readers from different countries and cultures find important in a story."
This project got more than a million euro from the EU. It's called GOLEM.
You can't make this shit up, at least not if you're an AI.
I'm so mad. Fuck off and leave us to write our stories in peace, can you?
