Did AFF ever develop an AI policy?

[Deadman]

I have this vague memory of at some point asking if AFF had an AI policy. Although for some reason I can’t find it on the forums.

So I’m just going to ask it again. Does the platform have one?

So far, we haven’t developed a formal policy. As we’ve been talking about over in the status updates, Chat GPT so far has filters in place to prevent it from generating adult content, which is our milieu. That’s not to say that “clever” folks haven’t managed to jailbreak it, and there’s talk about creating a system to allow verified adults to write adult content.

So, it is on the radar but not yet an issue thus far. Will it become an issue? My good gold is on yes, because Rule 34 exists.

Well part of me thinking about it again is that I’ve found one that has some looser rules around filtering stuff. I’ve also seen some AI image creators that have looser rules around what it can create. Obviously the image thing is not really an issue for this site. My intention at this point isn’t to post anything that I didn’t write myself. Everything I’m posting now was completely from my crazy human brain.

However I have also seen some stories that could use a formatting and spelling pass which AI could help with.

As much as I would love to see people use something that would correct formatting and spelling, the onus for that is on the author and not the site. My inner editor may be reduced to tears frequently, but site policy is to let the attempted murder of written English stand around with its flies undone and its complete inability to comprehend homonyms on full display.

The thing that I absolutely loathe about AI generated content, is that the AI trawls the web looking for stuff to incorporate.  Makes it so plagiarism will become an even worse issue, IMO.

It’s also devaluing to be accused of using AI for writing simply because you like dashes, ellipses, or using proper grammar.

Agreed.  Where you REALLY see AI is in some of those visual books on Youtube.  Hubs likes to listen to them.  Mind you, I’ve read countless sci-fi books, so when he’s listening, I can usually tell him which book and/or author they’re stealing from 🤣
