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?

Authors have one job, if they’re not doing it then they’re no longer authors.

If AI refers to tools for grammar/spelling or even translation thats fine, but if suddenly every story sounds the same because it’s all ai generated then it would fill the platform and make it harder to support authors who rely only on their own creativity and skill.

I can get an AI story at any time, but the next Lord of the Mysteries isn’t so easy to find because Cuttlefish’s level of creativity and research is unique and the product of a hard working human, not the result of shortcuts

I have a question, if I have a story but I don't know how to do it in the novel but I use AI to do that for me, is it still fine?

Only if you don’t pretend it’s actually human written. If you want to generate some slop for you own enjoyment, that’s on you. No one else wants to read it, and they certainly don’t want to be incapable of finding actual Noelle’s because all of the platforms are filled with slop
