  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Since it's come up several times, we're issuing an official clarification on QQ's policy on AI-generated writing and images.

QQ has no rule against the use of AI tools, or posting the outputs from those tools. However, users are still responsible for ensuring that everything they post follows all the rules of QQ. Using an AI is not an excuse for violating rules. In particular, spammy behavior will still be punished (usually under Rule 1), whether an AI is used or not.

It is generally considered polite to disclose explicitly whether AI is used in writing a story. This is not a formal rule, but it may cause people to dislike you if you don't.

Discussion of AI tools, including criticism, is allowed. All such discussion is still subject to the other rules of QQ. In particular, you are not allowed to harass people over using AI; like any other harassment, this is a violation of Rule 1.

One specific ruling regarding AI-generated images: we do not allow any images that depict people who appear to be under 18, in any sexually explicit context, in a "photorealistic" style. These images are too difficult to distinguish from content that is illegal to post, so we don't allow any of them.

This is not a change in the rules; these rules are the ones we have been using since the question first arose. However, we haven't previously made them all explicit anywhere.

No boobs.

In other words some like Koneko Toujo is no go unless you make her boobies grow-oh.

Do these fall under, or over the "photorealistic" cut-off? For me they do not, they actually are pretty terrible anatomically and very 2.5D, but others might have other perception:

Nah imo....those are barely realistic....their talking about those AI images that you can barely tell if their real or fake.

So explicit sexual images of people under 18 which are not ai made is allowed? Cause, I have seen many such images in qq or in links posted here.

Real people? Absolutely not, and posting such will result in the admins having to contact the FBI. It's a bad time for everyone. Not-photorealistic art? Generally will be allowed, yes.
 
The problem is not the use of Ai itself. But the non disclosure of it and vehement denial and defensive posturing when asked about it politely. Yeah, there is no putting the genie back in the bottle and AI use is definitely going to be the future.

But, it ain't quite there yet. It screws up the plot when asked to generate it completely and when just proofreading, it writes in language that _feels_ unnatural enough (using double adjectives, writing in rhyme schemes and seldom used punctuations) that it brings you out of the reading experience.

It's still at the Uncanny Valley stage for writing at least, while images are much further along. So, it's not too much to ask to disclose its usage and if it is going to be continued to be used in the future. Shame that disclosure is only considered polite and not a required rule.
 
Any concerns on what's AI generated are probably helped that this site, as far as I can tell, is more on more fictional art styles rather than real people

With AI, I can see why many are concerned what can/will be made based off of real people which can/will get disturbing

And we already have rules against that, last I checked

Pretty sure as long as you don't make the AI pic realistic even with this character would be alright as far as I can understand from this. Am I correct or way off?

This and considering that I'm pretty sure we are limited on story tags. I don't see people willing to toss one up if they decide to use AI art.

Yeah, just avoid looking like a real person and I think we're all good

I for one, only see realism as a skill when it comes to getting more detail on an illustration, otherwise I prefer stylized these days

Realism can get rather disturbing and dull at the same time as odd as it sounds
 
So the official stance on AI stuff is what the general stance is.

Calm your tits.
Is it stole maliciously for profit? No? Go away
Is it being used for targeted harassment? No? Go away.
Is it blatantly illegal? How illegal? The normal levels we already tolerate? Go away.

You hear that @Jason Wu?

You and your cousins have gotten the official statement for the ok to continue distribution of NSFW AI pictures to the community for "cultural enhancements".

If it looks close to a real life picture?

Just do not risk it, and do not post it. The mods do not want to take the chance.


But any other 'artstyle' for AI art is legitimate. Anything but "close to real life".

Ain't asking for a rule, just saying if your fic smells like a silicon smoothie, don't get offended when someone goes "yo did chatgpt write this" when there is no tag.

Is it wrong if I can't help but self policing on a variety of NSFW stuff proves the whole extreme immoral hedonism slippery slope is workable?

Because I can say for sure, from the interactions I've had with guys on the site, I know most people here definitely have standards and will report it ASAP, if it really does look like it

The first part can be viewed as harassment so be careful with the clanker slurs. Some people just suck at writing and take a while to get good.

But yes if the writer crashes out from people asking so much it's pretty much 90% on them for not saying it's made with AI if it was.

But I

Obviously, people who did use AI should not complaint when a reader ask if they use an AI. But it seems to me that this is more likely to cause problem with people who does write badly without an AI. In which case, having AI-using story tagged as AI-using won't solve the problem. Or rather, the onus to solve problem is put on the wrong actor in the first place. The AI using writers are not responsible for non-AI using writers being bad at writing and their readers being an ass.
