As of this round, round five, the game is making use of AI to enhance accessibility and presentation. The TBA banner that will be used for Rise to Power, article images, character portraits for NPCs, and so on are generated using AI-based tools. In addition, the forum has a built-in AI assistant provided through Gemini AI. You are not required to use it, but it is a tool available to players to generate summaries of larger pieces if you need it.
AI tools are meant to strictly assist with visualization, summarization, and administrative support. AI tools are not meant to be used as a replacement for player-generated content such as player actions, roleplay decisions, or articles written by players or staff. All processing, rulings, narratives, and gameplay outcomes remain human-directed.
There may come to be situations where histories or summaries are written by the staff that will, in order to achieve a certain flavour, be put through an AI tool. Such examples of this would be the history or religion sections where it is written by a staff member (typically myself or Atticus) but put through AI to provide a certain historical flavour that we are looking for (example: we want the histories to look as if it was written from the perspective of a historian from a certain culture/nation). In situations like this, it will still be reviewed by a person to ensure accuracy and quality to ensure the original intent behind that content is not lost.
