Fandom events in 2025 be like:

>'Can I-?' Just have fun!! :) We're here to create! To enjoy ourselves! Or don't. I can't tell you what to do! :P As long as you make something vaguely completion-shaped, we'd love to see it! <3

>Use of AI, in any way, shape, or form, is strictly prohibited. If you are caught using AI on your works, you will be banned from this and any/all of our future events. This includes using AI to rephrase sentences.
RNG is perfectly fine, but AI is not allowed.

And having a hard “no” rule for AI just promotes weird witch hunts!

Right!!!!!

Oh my god you won't believe how relieved I am not to have to do the multiple paragraphs of explaining my position here I was raring to do when I saw a reply to this entry. hahahahahahahaha I'm so alone. (the like. inability to have even a slightly nuanced opinion on AI in fandom spaces is going to destroy me someday lol. I'm not asking for agreement but being permabanned or blocked just for asking questions about whether these specific policies are helpful or proportionate is uhhhhh. not great. and pretty concerning tbh from a purity spiral point of view.)

Yeah, just no one has any idea whether or not a blanket ban on AI is in any way helpful because they see no in-between between (lol) “no AI” and “got AI to write the whole thing for you”. Like, what if you:

- Had AI come up with a title for you, or help come up with a title?
- Had AI help write/write the entire summary?
- Had AI help with tagging?
- Used it to generate a couple of sentences to get out of writers’ block?
- Used it to come up with ideas?
- Used an AI/LLM-powered spelling/grammar check, like Grammarly?
- Wrote the entire thing without AI, but used it to translate/help translate into another language?
- Had AI reword some sentences, like “can you make this creepier/sexier/cuter/more suspicious-sounding/a million other things?”

And combine that with the fact that, at least for text, there’s no real reliable way to tell if something was AI-generated, meaning any anti-AI witch hunts will basically wind up punishing people for being bad/cliche writers… Not good!
