Moving over here because I want to be clear this is a MU context
@Faraday I know you don’t like LLMs including their use in MUSHing, so leaving aside the work/school/academia thing for a moment, let me ask your opinion
You are running a game. No AI content is allowed, that is the rule and it’s posted.
Someone who usually writes very distinctively and with many errors suddenly shifts to sounding very same-y, vague, bland, overwhelmingly positive, and somewhat nonsensical with regard to theme, and there’s no more of those human errors. They’re churning out a ton of content that they never used to. You suspect AI. Vibes are off.
You ask them if they’ve used AI and they say ‘no that’s my writing.’ Which seems super unlikely, but rare is the confronted player who just says “ya got me.”
What happens next?
Do you allow this person to continue, even though it seems likely they’re lying and disrespecting the preferences/expectations that you as a host laid out?
Do you decide if they said “no it’s my writing” then they are simply not lying, despite all the evidence to the contrary?
Do you ask them to leave the game based on vibes? Based on something else?
Do you tell them you’re issuing a warning? What happens if they continue to use the Probably ChatGPT text despite the warning?
Something else?
I’ve run into this issue with players. I’m not trying to be snotty in tone here, genuinely I want to know what your approach as a game host would be if you suspect LLM use, don’t like LLM use, and someone is (probably) doing it anyway.
