We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Bluntly? None of the staff have strong feelings on if they care at all. If anyone did, we don’t have the tools to reliably enforce such a rule - and they flat-out don’t exist, most ‘AI’ detectors are less reliable than letting a pitbull babysit your cage of hamsters. Sure, it may scold one that...
I certainly hope something screws up and she's detected because I loathe Cauldron, also her eye replacement better not have any metal in it or it's coming outta the socket. Thanks Ack!
Yeah, with text, enforcement is hell to deal with, so no. I've already seen some gits complaining about AI in a story whose narration has been the same long before AI became mainstream. It's just fucking annoying for readers, and infuriating for authors.
And with art? It's kinda obvious when...
If its feels not too much to ask, its only because you are not the one who have to enforce it. Do you think reading through dozens of stories to determine wthether they use AI or not easy task? Especially since those stories would be badly written to cause them got reported/accused of using AI...
I don't like this.
I think AI labelling should be obligatory for both text and image and if its not labled it should be a violation. Best would be a trinary labelling "" (nothing, ie no AI) / "Some AI" / "AI" with the cutoffs being 0% and 50%, so for images using AI to touch up a non-AI original...
Have you tried 1. using an advanced model that can both adhere to instructions and be intelligent about it? 2. defining a specific writing style by providing a large example? 3. holding it's hand and asking for very specific descriptions of events? 4. always concentrating on narrow scope? 5...
AFAIK, you can't use CSS to unzalgo text because zalgo is an abuse of Unicode combining characters rather than an external style applied to the text. You could theoretically write a Javascript bookmarklet that strips the combining characters out of all text on the page, but I don't know how...
Fair point, but what else is there? I know that I’m being really harsh, but how else would you go about it? Batman is the most equipped to handle The Joker and he’s the one who’s had the most chances to actually stop him once and for all. I’m just saying, Batman has basically tried literally...
The issue with requiring the disclosure? Even if we, the staff, cared (and we don't), there is no easy way to determine AI use. And thus, enforcement is impossible. And thus, there is no way we will require it.
The main reason we put this up is that we were seeing witchhunts and harassment...
I understand allowing people to use generative AI for pictures or stories (even if I don't agree with the use of it), but I feel like it should be in the rules to tag your work with AI usage, like having 3 predefined tags, 'AI generated text', 'AI assistance' (for the people who will generate a...

Part Forty-Eight: The 'Finding Out' Phase Begins

Are you a Sith?
Because that totally sounds like something George Lucas would write.
(Or did Lucas rip off your tribe? Er I mean "discover" your tribal history, to use the more popular term.)
All heroes was a poor extrapolation, I meant all DC heroes. Everyone adjacent to the Batman and his antics.
At this point I don't think we're actually arguing.
You hold that the System is inherently broken as it must be for the story to allow Joker to escape and kill again. If there is no...
