ai writing has no place in the community 

@Boujee Keiaif i'm going to be rp'ing with someone ai generating their emotes (something people on lotc have been caught doing red handed before because they slipped up and forgot to remove their prompts), why don't i just boot up character ai instead of coming to lotc?

it's not just about ai generated images. there are droids on the server right now. it's way more common in forum posts, where a lot of them are using ai writing.

there are arguements to using ai art on your posts. i think they're all bad arguements that don't hold any traction, but i can recognize the mindset someone might have in relationship to such. there is absolutely no arguement to making yourself a bootleg chatbot middleman. i don't understand what the enjoyment there is or why you would do it, and i think it's actively deceptive to those around you and believe you should be actively shunned for it.

the entire point of roleplaying is collaborative writing, and i have absolutely 0 interest in rp'ing with anyone who isn't writing their own emotes.

The Game

Hmmmm. I want to respond with patience, and nuance, and empathy. I think that would be the fair thing to do, since I behaved with such towards the use of generative art when paired with genuine creative writing. 

But, I also think when sharing kindness, it's very important to mean what you say, too. Or you're being two faced. 

I also believe if I don't have anything nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all.

Frankly, I don't think I have anything nice at all to say or believe about people so uncaring and lazy, they will cheat so profoundly as to utilize generative AI as their primary means of engagement on this creative writing space, without even attempting to do the scary thing and demonstrate they understand they must be bad at something, before they can be good at it. 

I hope that answer isn't too silly! 🪿
