The forum doesn't have any specific rules on the use of AI bots, but it does have rules on plagiarism. If the admins deem that you have plagiarized, then you are in trouble regardless of whether you used an AI or took the content from elsewhere.

We need to make a distinction between what the forum allows/disallows and what isn't encouraged by the community.
I'm curious (and may open my own poll about it shortly), is there anyone who believes that posting unaccredited AI text
isn't plagiarism? It seems to me the general consensus is yes, it is plagiarism, but I am potentially biased because that's what I believe as well.
Aside from
one famous example (and kudos to Royse777 for his no-AI policy), I rarely see accounts removed from campaigns after getting caught posting AI. This could be because campaign managers are largely unaware of it happening -- usually at most people will leave a neutral trust rating for the offense, if anything at all.
So AI posters exist in a legal loophole right now:
- its often hard to know 100% for sure that a post is AI-generated
- its not considered plagiarism by moderator standards (as of the moment)
- there's no precedent for red tagging users for doing this.
