Because this seems to have spread since I first saw it warned for and now is affecting writers in the Tolkien fandom as well, I thought it would be worth putting an alert here, as well:
There is now at least one spambot (perhaps more than one) that accuses writers in AO3 comments of having their work written by an AI.
If this happens to you: it is spam, you did nothing to provoke it, so don't take it personally.
What you need to do is to hit the Spam button next to the comment to report it to AO3, rather than just delete it.
