Hmm, maybe we ought to make AI-generated-reviews a FEATURE? Author wants such a review, press the button, ask ChatGPT for its opinion on your story? (Secretly, we’ve hot wired it to troll/flame mode.)

Ah, the early morning poking of the undercaffeinated dragon… If I believe reviews are being spammed, the reviewer is subject to being banned. At the moment, no anonymous reviews are permitted, as a security measure, so in order to spam those reviews, you will need an archive account. I would be very happy to have that last another year or so.

Technology is certainly progressing faster rate now than it did. I think if nothing else there should be a discussion to the powers that be if only to prevent someone from spamming ai-gen stories. Only cause I know at least someone will do that.

Oh, trust me, the spamming part will get them banned. Fast.

AI generated fanfic is pretty new, and we don’t have an established policy per se, although we may want to think about this and establish one. In general, we do have a policy of asking that all content be the work of the uploading author. Obviously, when writing fan fiction, the universe/fandom and the characters are not owned by the uploading author, hence the disclaimer requirement. But we don’t allow large swaths of content taken directly from the fandom, or the read-the-book stories that were all the rage for a while. So where does AI generated writing fall? I’m not entirely sure. It’s obviously not written by the uploading author, but presumably, the AI program generated content based on parameters established by the uploading author. I’m just not sure it’s really writing in the truest sense of the word. I can’t imagine any AI program could capture a writer’s voice: the way they use language, the cadence of their writing, the unique touches that make their work stand out from other writers. I might use it to generate a rough plot outline, but I think I’m still old-fashioned enough to want the words on the page or screen to be the words I chose myself, if that makes any sense at all.

Just curious if AFF has a policy on AI generated fanfic? Been hearing a lot of discussions lately about AI content and how much it’s moving forward these days. Some writers in the original space are talking about how they’re using AI to help them generate stories in various ways. I don’t see myself doing anything with AI myself but all the conversations have me curious about what I’m going to read on the site. Do writers here have a general view on it?

Ah, able to withhold/delete all other reviews until my stories get some flattering ones?

We’ll do that when you join the staff as Review Moderator.

So, what about AI generated reviews?

More fodder for the debate. Sentient AI? AI writing assistance?
