Rule Update: AI Generated Content

[Lemon]

You will have to have people like me that Write in there native way of Writeing (German) and I can guaranty you that my style of writing would definitely flaged as AI by an AI, and that because I am not writing how they write as a Native English Speaker.

So, yeah, Good Idea, but Impossible to enforce.

I can guarantee you for an absolute fact that your writing, Helmchen, would never be flagged as written by an AI.

So yes, I think having this rule is nice. But I also believe this rule will not be able to be proven without a Reasonable Doubt.

Given that we (the staff) don't give out evidence for confirmed cheaters, because that's very sensitive and would enable further cheating, by your logic any and all bans for cheating are also nothing more than "trust me bro". Yet despite this, Discovery has been successfully enforcing bans against confirmed cheaters for years, and the community has yet to be egregiously *cough* negatively effected from Johnny Moneyglitch getting permabanned.

Also, what would stop people from simply flagging other people's RP as AI? I mean, you can prove nothing.

We are not relying solely or even primarily on AI detectors to enforce this rule. Again, if you cannot tell the difference between the two examples in Weapon's post (which, by the way, should have been enough to close down this thread given it perfectly summed up what the actual policy is re: text), that is solely a personal skill issue.

Let me tell a story.

Way back in the day, I had two Russians ask to join a faction I was in the HC of. One of them didn't speak English literally at all. His buddy said "we are a package deal, he exclusively plays when I do and I translate for him". I said "sure, you two can join, but if either of you violates the rules, we will hold you both equally accountable". They agreed to this term, and they were both perfectly fine faction members. Over time, the one who didn't speak English... actually started to learn English from exposure, and started speaking on his own rather than relying on yandex or his buddy to translate. Sadly, the two didn't stick around for long, but while I don't want to single anyone out, we have community members here today who started off on Discovery speaking not a word of English. Yet, following their posts closely, and having flown alongside them ingame several times, I have seen their English skills improve to an admirable degree.

Language learning is difficult, especially as we're all older and most of us have jobs and obligations and whatnot nowadays. But the great thing about human neurology is that, barring a severe intellectual impairment, we can always, at absolutely any age, learn a new language—at least, given we have access to the time to use it and the resources needed.

Anyway, the point is that whether you use AI as an unpaid proofreading intern or not, so long as you have actually written the roleplay yourself, it is acceptable. As has been stated many times in this thread already. If you are writing your posts yourself, then you are good to go. If you are using AI-generated images, so long as there is no "incoging trensmitision" or artifacted six-finger hands, you are good to go. This rule exists to safeguard the integrity of this community as a place for creative expression. If you have a problem with that, you know where your browser's X button is.
