BAN AI in topics completely.

On the site rules for World of Potter US, the rules of AI are as follows:

As a creative site, we encourage you to use art from talented artists and creators in your profile, backstory, and topics, instead of images created by AI. By doing so, you can give them and their platform more exposure and show respect towards their work. Regarding texts, we also highly encourage you to write your own content, as it helps you improve your skills and nurtures your creativity. You are not allowed to use any AI-generated content during competitions, homework (view ‘Homework’ rules), or for your job on this site (e.g. journalist, librarian, …). AI is also not allowed to be used to create profile texts or backstories. We do not recommend the use of AI generated images for FCs as well.

However, topics are not mentioned in the above places that AI is banned. They claim that this site promotes creativity, but the very main purpose of the site: roleplay, still allows AI to be used. This, I believe should head in the same was as WoO EU, which is the fact that no AI is allowed anywhere.

Due to the presence of the new point earning system with writing, there are certain writers who write only AI, in topics. They often team up with each other, or with their own alts, and write to gain points, even bragging about 1000-word replies.

As someone who has been tricked into writing with people like this, I would like this allowance to be curbed or snuffed out. This is due to the fact, that having your writing put through a third party to churn out a response is against site terms of service as they do not have permission to take the writing from the site to a third party. The writing for the site is for site use only. That is what we agree to. No more than that.

This request has been given to the higher ups several times through owls, and ignored, and I would like to take it to somewhere that has more visibility. When someone takes me writing and makes a reply, they are not only using my writing without my consent, but they are also feeding my writing to a machine that then uses it for training against my consent. Then they post it to the site and are rewarded for it with 7 points.

I believe that if you shouldn’t be allowed to use AI in homework, because it puts the teacher’s writing through a bot and trains off their writing, then the same rule should be given to protect student writing as well.

It seems unfair that people have to go the hard route of homework writing lengthy replies, and grading, only for some students who had no moral obligation or respect for their fellow writers be able to effortlessly rack up points and exp because the site allows it.
