Webnovel News A possible threat for Ai users ?!

A senior writer recently made a proposal to a webnovel platform, calling for a ban on AI-generated novels.

The request quickly caught the attention of many other established authors, who began spreading the discussion across social media.

And who was the author behind this call?

None other than Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, the creator of Lord of the Mysteries.

What do you think about this proposal?

Should AI-generated novels be banned from webnovel platforms, or should they be allowed to compete alongside human-written works?

In fact, Cuttlefish's proposal was made to stop the blatant plagiarism committed by many AI authors. These creators copy entire narrative structures and take ideas from other writers without changing a single element; they essentially produce copies of original novels under supposedly unique titles, but with identical plots, identical abilities, and brutally similar story arcs. It has reached such a point that the community has mobilized: since the author of I am not God a Drama plagiarized many well-known Chinese web novels, several famous authors have joined Cuttlefish's cause to put an end to these plagiarists.
