AI community drama: comparing a smut author to the Zodiac Killer is a huge leap, argues ctjlewis

ctjlewis weighed in on an ongoing AI community controversy in which an author of explicit fiction was described as a real-life predator, with comparisons to Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer. He argues that choosing not to associate with a controversial smut writer is entirely different from asserting — without evidence — that they are live-blogging real crimes, something that would be national news if true. He states his firm impression is that the work is fiction and he is taking the risk of locking in that position.
