These tools can be used to proof-read or edit a post you have written, but not to create roleplay wholesale. AI generated images must not be distracting or low quality, i.e. containing warped text, obviously incorrect human biology, or prominent generation artifacts.
We appreciate that many people are not confident in their English skills, and use AI to proofread or edit their posts. This rule does not impact that kind of use. The roleplay in those situations is still written by you, and continues to have your distinctive style and voice as an author.
What is not acceptable is outlining what you want in a prompt and having an AI generate the text for you. It is often very obvious when this has been done, as most large language models write in a very distinctive style and have particular "tells".
In cases where the origin of text is ambiguous, staff will err towards the benefit of the doubt. Despite that, clearly AI generated text will be removed going forward. Applications for SRPs or other rewards that rely on generated text will be refused immediately.
These are my questions @Haste I expect your answering to them
Q1: If a player rewrites 50% of an AI-drafted scene, is that “still AI-generated”?
Q2: How do staff make that determination technically — do they use tools, or is it just based on “feel”?
Q3: Are players with dyslexia, autism, non-native English fluency, or other limitations expected to write the same as fluent authors?
Q4: Isn’t this exclusionary to players who rely on AI to write creatively in English?
Q5: If I can use AI to edit a paragraph, but not write it, what is the actual difference if I still control the intent, plot, and character arc?
Q6: What about co-writing? Outlining? Brainstorming? At what point does “help” become “cheating”?
Q7: If the text “sounds AI-generated” but the user insists it’s theirs — what evidence is used?
