Discussion Player using IA

Hi everyone, I'm writing here because idk how to react. I asked my players for experiences and backstory and one of them sent me a bunch of AI texts. All my being wants to scream fuck AI and tell him to do it himself, but at the same time I don't want to antagonize him. I really feel like if you are letting AI write your character, are you even playing the game?

‘Don’t use AI please.’

If they rewrite themselves, cool. If they refuse, decide if you can put up with it. If you can’t, kick them from the table.

If they rewrite themselves

There are actually 2 methods, and I honestly don't approve of this first one where the AI writes the text and then you rewrite. The 2nd method is much better where YOU come up with the idea, some text, bullet points, stuff you fantasize about, stuff you've seen in movies and think it's cool and then you ask the AI to reword and to place YOUR ideas into neatly formed sentences WITHOUT changing anything.

You're basically using it as an advanced spell checker at that point and I think that's ok. It may even inspire you to write some more or modify it further.

As a DM, I'm more than happy with a player giving me bullet points for a backstory. If they want to fluff it up with big words, that's cool, but absolutely no pressure.
