Official Use of AI
For official purposes CoSC chooses not to use AI, Generative AI, or Large Language Models to create content.
AI Generated Images
CoSC believes it is possible to use AI responsibly and transparently in images.
A crucial step to understanding our view is to recognize that AI generated images are created through a training process that involves millions of art pieces (Example: Dali from Open AI used 400 million sets of images and text to create its algorithm).[1] In the Warriors Role Play Community theft of photographs is incredibly common and CoSC feels that an AI generated image using a fraction of someone’s work as inspiration is preferable to the outright theft of someone else’s entire work.
We respect intellectual property rights and believe this is consistent with our AI stance under the fact that each AI work is made under copyright’s fair use provisions for a transformative work because none of the source works are recognizable in the resultant image.[2]
In an effort to protect the integrity of images produced by humans, CoSC has implemented the following rules:
- AI images attached to character sheets must be attributed to the AI model that generated it. Any user found to be presenting AI images as original artworks will be banned from this site.
- All AI images presented on the site are for personal use only. Any user found selling AI images anywhere will be banned from this site.
- Any AI model found to be using recognizable sections of artworks in images will be prohibited from use for failing to comply with the transformative work permitted by US copyright laws.
AI Generated Writing
Chosen of StarClan is a Play-by-Post Role Playing game. Writing collaboratively is the core of this activity.
In accordance with the understanding that the spirit of this gaming style is writing as an activity players may not use any AI models in the creation of written content. This includes, but is no limited to, Roleplay Posts, Legends or other site documentation, or character sheets.
Problematic AI Models
- Midjourney[3]: Banned as AI will generate images of copy and trademarked characters, including directly by name.
- Llama by Meta[4]: Banned due to copyrighted materials being used in the training pool
