The fanfiction community is divided over the use of AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT, with some readers attempting to identify AI-generated content. A new tool, designed as a browser extension for Archive of Our Own (AO3), claims to detect text directly pasted from Anthropic's Claude by highlighting it with a red background. While initial tests suggest the detector may work by identifying specific code artifacts injected by Claude, its effectiveness is limited, as it can be bypassed by editing text in other applications before uploading to AO3. Furthermore, the tool cannot distinguish between fully AI-generated works and those where AI was used for minor edits, leading to potential false positives and a climate of mistrust among writers and readers.
