	How a player uses an LLM such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Deepseek and so on to help them through a character application is up to that player’s discretion. However, no answer provided by an LLM may be used in any part of the written application—at most its responses should be paraphrased by the human player. Applications suspected of full or co-authorship by an LLM will be rejected regardless of viability and that character concept permanently vetoed from play. Cases of serial attempted LLM use may be subject to discipline by staff. Should it be discovered that an application was fully or co-authored by an LLM after that application was accepted, the character will be permanently rescinded from play. They will also be permanently rescinded from play should reason exist to suspect that the character’s dialogue, description and/or replies in-game are being fully or co-authored by an LLM.

It is endlessly preferable that an application be flawed and human rather than “perfect” and artificial.
