Ao3 No-Fandom Tag Update

I just saw that Ao3 has managed to sort out their issues with non-fandom tags, and are now canonizing and making changes to preexisting tags - and I am so elated. There's so many minor tag tweaks that would be such an improvement for filtering purposes!

Personally, I'm most excited about the canonized AI related tags - being able to filter out AI generated work (even if it's not a required tag, and people will probably refuse to add it in case it means less eyes on their works) and support human creatives will be wonderful.

People keep saying "nobody will use it," but thousands of users have already added some version of "made with AI/done by ChatGPT/etc" to their works, without any prompting or requirements! Having a canonical, having something to pop up in the dropdown when you're looking for one, will only make that easier.

Don't get too excited about "minor" tweaks, this is still a very slow process, and there are a lot of major, regularly-requested tag changes at the top of the queue. (That said, the fact that wranglers are processing any changes at all is still a huge step forward!)

No, I mean, people weren't waiting for the canonical! These are all non-canonical tags, they still have dozens or hundreds of uses already:

ChatGPT, this was written with an ai, Written in collaboration with an AI, Written by AI, Written by an AI, Written by ChatGPT

And there are hundreds more 1-use tags that are different phrasings of the same idea.

"Mommy Kink" is on the list of concepts to work on canonizing, I know that much. Would be kinda funny if they time the release for next Women's History Month...
