wrennetteacting with an excess of caution, i'm making all my works on ao3 viewable by 'registered users only' as a result of this post re: sudowrites ai.
the tldr is that sudowrites ai has been scraping ao3 and using that text as the dataset to train their ai. i don't like doing this, but i also don't want to be part of the dataset. hopefully this is something ao3 can push back against.
