9. Years ago I was searching the internet for some slash a friend of mine wrote.

When she wrote it slash was usually shared among fans as Xerox copies. (Before the Eternal September of the internet there was Kinko's.)

In the late 'nineties I found may people on the internet claiming authorship of the fiction. For my own amusement I challenged some of them. The sensible plagiarists ignored me, but there was one in particular who got quite vehement in their defense. Needless to say this was not my friend.

Now we've got AI and the people who use AI doing the same.

Yay Progress!
