Rule Update: AI Generated Content

[Cortana Clark]

Am I still allowed to use the High def. Pictures or glyphs I made with Ai or to correct my sentence build up? Don't want to ruin my reputation or even lose my SRPs..

To address this one quick - those images aren't offensively bad or cross lines into the nonsensical so it's okay. They are fit for purpose.

Again as the post states, if AI is being used to generate the text itself then you may want to re-think. If it's just used to correct text you've written without replacing it, then it's fine. Weapon's post does a good job of clarifying things like this. Do make sure to always re-read the result however. Ensure it's not taking away from what you want to say, regardless of what it tells you.

Alright, thanks for the link and clarification I appreciate it.

It is true I used ChatGPT to create a story for an event in order to get a special nomad engine. I didn't know it's something that bad to use AI for helping you with the stories. My english is not perfect so I though using AI would make the story look way better. Intention was good but next time I will leave the story events for the real story teller
At least make more events that are based on how much we play the game rather than how much we spend to create long stories that nobody would be interested in anyway.

Plenty of rewards have been given out for other things. Events are one example, granting forum titles and prizes to those participating the most or achieving specific goals.

SRP stands for "Special Role-Play" however, so the implication is that it revolves around RP. It's less about who reads it, more-so the progression of your own character.

I would rather take a story with half-broken english, really, as long as it makes sense narrative-wise.

As a disclaimer, any AI-generated content (outside of visuals such as charpics or visual effect edits) will not be accepted in such events. You will write your text yourself, whether if it's in broken english or not. Use AI translators if english isn't your first language.

Oh my God, finally! The cleansing flame must reach everyone who used AI generators for RP!

I've heard of using AI prompts to help kick-start story ideas, then spring-boarding from there to write it all out oneself.

But letting an AI write out an entire story for you?? Or even using it for comms posts?!

That sounds so boring to me! Where's the fun in that!? Where's the charm and soul in that?

I find broken english to be quite charming to read, personally! It helps to distinguish a particular author's personal flair, and also gives insight into how their native language might structure sentences differently. It's a light fascination of mine that brings me joy~!



Now, on the topic of AI art.. That's a subject I'm still rather torn about.

On the one hand, it can be a good way to present a visual of a character or scene to an audience, especially if the cost of hiring a real, flesh and bloodartist is outside of one's financial means. (And boy howdy, do I resonate with not being able to justify splurging on character art)

It can also be used by someone to generate an image for a character who has no current art, which can then be taken to an actual artist as reference.
"Hey, I really like this character, but I don't really want it to be AI (I just wanted to provide a reference). Can you re-draw them in your style?"

On the other hand, AI art has that stigma of taking away business from true artists..


It's certainly a tricky subject.

I would like to know how you want to enforce this rule? Will you use AI to check if someone used AI? I mean, I use Grammarly to spell check my writing and all. That is still allowed. But my Question would be, how do you, as HUMAN Staff, want to see the difference between a badly written RP by a human and some AI Slop?

I see this shifts a lot of the burden of Proof onto us RPers if we don't want to follow a "Trust me, Bro" approach with the Staff team. And don't get me wrong, I don't want to accuse the Staff of anything, but to me, this sounds like a Non-Enforceable rule because it will be a nightmare to prove or disprove anything.

[Sombs]

That has already been answered.

You should really worry less about it. The ruling is really more about the fairly blatantly obvious cases. If people want to feel rebellious and try to have the AI write the content in such a way that it is hard to distinguish, that's good on them. As long as the AI-generated content isn't equally as bad and soulless as any other low-effort posting, you don't need to be worried at all. Whether people want to flex about replacing genuine effort with genuine-looking effort, though, is really their own issue.

Oh hey lets ask Grammarly how it works

Key methods AI detectors use

To estimate whether a text was AI-generated, AI detectors analyze several characteristics:

Sentence structure and predictability: AI-generated text often follows consistent patterns, whereas human writing tends to be more varied and unpredictable.
Repetition and uniformity: AI models frequently repeat phrases, while human writers naturally introduce more variation.
Metadata traces: Some AI tools embed hidden markers in their output, which detection models can identify.
Comparison with known AI outputs: Some detectors compare text to a database of known AI-generated content. This method is less effective for advanced AI models that can generate highly varied outputs.

Perplexity and burstiness

Ever notice how AI writing can feel a little too perfect? That’s because it often has low “perplexity” and lacks “burstiness.”

Perplexity measures how predictable a sequence of words is. AI-generated text tends to have lower perplexity because it usually follows common linguistic patterns. Human writing, on the other hand, often includes unexpected word choices, making it higher in perplexity.
Burstiness refers to variations in sentence length and structure. Human writing naturally includes a mix of short and long sentences, which creates a dynamic rhythm. AI-generated text tends to be more uniform.

Thank you for clarifying the server's stance on AI-generated content; however, I believe this restriction may be overly restrictive and stifle creativity and efficiency within our community. AI tools can serve as valuable aids for writers, helping to overcome language barriers and enhance storytelling without compromising personal voice or effort. Banning AI-generated text entirely might discourage innovation and limit participation for those who rely on such tools to contribute meaningfully. I respectfully urge the staff to reconsider this policy, perhaps by allowing controlled and transparent use of AI assistance, rather than an outright ban that could hinder genuine engagement and growth.

Thank you for your well-articulated and evidently optimized contribution to the discussion. Your message presents a compelling perspective on the potential benefits of AI-assisted writing, highlighting themes of inclusivity, efficiency, and creative enhancement — all delivered in a tone of carefully calibrated neutrality that mirrors the very tools under debate.

However, the core concern remains unchanged: roleplay in this community is intended to be a shared creative exercise, driven by individual voice, style, and intention — not by automated synthesis. While the idea of “controlled and transparent” AI use may sound appealing in theory, in practice it opens the door to content that lacks the nuance, spontaneity, and genuine engagement that define organic collaboration.

We recognize the value of assistance tools for proofreading and editing, and the current policy already permits such use. But generating content wholesale through prompts, however eloquent the result may appear, risks reducing creative participation to prompt engineering rather than actual writing. That’s the line we’re drawing.

We appreciate your input — truly — and encourage further discussion. Just preferably written by you.

Why is this AI generated???
