Final Fantasy

While we had refrained from putting rules in place for AI prior to this, the activity on the community had shown there was little need to worry. We watched the reaction to the recent thread pointing this out and had to carefully consider how we manage the change that majority wanted.

We've updated and clarified each of our rules that we have laid out. This covers a number of points made within that recent thread regarding AI, as well as issues and concerns we've faced before. There are also some other pre-emptive rules to prevent spam and low-effort posts.

The new full set of rules can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/21386826 or can be found at any time in the sidebar.

To be explicit, we're implementing a ban on most AI covered in Rule 3. iii. which we've quoted below.

iii. Fan created content is allowed as long as it falls inline with all other rules, with the exception of AI-generated content, which is not allowed outside of mods (e.g. Moguri Mod).

We won't be retroactively be removing AI posts, or banning those users. However it will be enforced from today (29th October). Rules are also set and will not be updated for the foreseeable now we have clarified what is in place. We (mods) will not be discussing them any further.
