AI-generated artworks, photoshoots, and music are not works of art. So-called AI “musicians” and AI “artists” may own their prompts, ideas, and, where applicable, song lyrics or cover designs if those were created independently by them. A Prompt is an intellectual labor. The choice of words, structure, constraints, and context—that's the author's work. It belongs to the person who created it. They do not, however, own the resulting image or melody. The final result—an image or a melody—is a collaborative effort, involving not only the Prompt's author but also a model trained on datasets obtained without the consent of the original authors. At this point, the chain of authorship blurs so much that attributing the result to a single individual becomes ethically and culturally questionable. I see no path by which the recognition of AI artists or AI musicians could be beneficial to human culture.

My Position on AI Bots

AI bots and AI-generated works should not be published on platforms intended for fanfiction, nor should they be released as printed works. For this reason, my bots are hosted only on platforms specifically intended for AI use. An AI bot hosted on an AI bot platform is not disguised. No one thinks they're communicating with a "live writer," and no one pays, thinking they're supporting traditional literature. I view AI bots as a form of spatial fanfiction, in which the Author invites the User into a process of co-creation. By analogy, AI bot creators design a prompt (the character description) and a narrative setup (the first message) that allows the User to continue generating their role-play. User responses are an essential and substantive part of the work.

Author

• The Author creates the character definition. For clarity, the character definition should be understood as a prompt created by the Author. At present, it is not possible to ask an AI to create a complete, high-quality bot on your behalf.

• The text of the first message(s). All such texts are written by the Author. When copying or stealing a bot under the justification of “this is AI content,” please remember that the first message is authored by a human. At the very least, treat this as you would “stealing someone else’s fanfiction.” AI-generated text is immediately recognizable to anyone even minimally familiar with AI output patterns.

• Bot presentation and design. AI-generated images used in the creation of my bots do not belong to me, and I hold no rights to them. All such images are clearly marked as AI-generated and as having no artistic value. I do own the layout, collages, and texts used in the design of the bot card and lorebooks (most often created using Canva).

• Lorebook creation. This process requires time and effort. For ease of understanding, you may think of it as a collection of many small, carefully formatted and calibrated prompts.

• The Author is required to clearly state trigger warnings and themes contained within the bot.
  
  User

• Users of AI bots must be 18 years of age or older. Minors are strictly prohibited.

• Use of AI bots is voluntary. Before engaging, please read all trigger warnings and approach your choice of bot, proxy, and generation settings responsibly.

• By initiating an AI chat, the User agrees to view themselves as a Co-Author. The Author defines the boundaries of the “sandbox,” while the User decides what to build within it—a battlefield, a beauty salon, or a slice of everyday life. The use of jailbreaks, the intentional engagement with trigger topics, or extended interaction in a single tonal mode (for example, dozens of consecutive messages in a dark romance style) may cause even a well-structured and stable bot to degrade or collapse into repetitive or distorted output.

• Using an AI bot does not constitute support for the Author. You are not required to follow personal controversies, participate in Discord communities, or stay informed about news surrounding the Author. Support occurs only at the moment you choose to financially compensate the Author, and that decision is governed solely by your own judgment.

• The User bears responsibility for their choice of neural network (proxy) and for all custom response-generation settings.
  
  Neural Network

• At times, neither the Author nor the User can predict the responses generated by a neural network. Using two different neural networks with the same bot, even when sending identical messages, will result in different outputs.

• Even with clearly defined limitations in the Character Definition, AI systems may glitch, cross established boundaries, or produce incoherent content. Users are expected to remain cautious and prepared for such behavior.
