On AI slop...

They aren't breaking any rules though, so I'm not sure what really can be done., and if the rules were changed where do you draw the line? One thing I would like to see is the algorithm for trending stories to be altered so it doesn't put quite so much of an emphasis on how many chapters are being added to a story regardless of whether they are getting much engagement or not. Somoene who writes fifty chapters which get one like each seems to be considered to have much more heat than someone who writes one chapter that gets fifty likes whereas I would argue it should probably be the other way around. That also very obviously favours AI authors who can often produce crazy amounts of chapters in a short space of time which human writers aren't going to be able to keep up with. The other thing the algorithm seems to strongly favour, as far as I can tell, is new stories but I quite approve of that since it is good to give those a boost while they are getting off the ground.

I for one would prefer there to be *no* AI slop at all, but that is clearly never going to happen because the RP bots are advertised here so it would be silly to not let the slop also be part of the site.
 
Marking AI work (as on DeviantArt) would also be my preferred solution. My one proviso would be that it would need to be clear we are talking about the text only. I'm fine with there being a separate box to tick for AI images but those of us who write our own text but use AI images should be able to be clear that the writing (the most important part on a literature site) is still our own even if we use AI tools for illustrative purposes.
