Are AI generated art allowed?
In general, No: AI generated content of any type will not be allowed.
The rules have yet to be posted at the time of this question, but it will be included when they are. Anyone found to be using unethically sourced AI in any part of their creative process will be removed from the competition and disqualified.
The rules say "The usage of generative AI for any part of your submission is prohibited! Humans must illustrate, write, program, etc every part of your submission!"
But you're saying that you can't use AI in any part of the creative process, right? So this includes concept art and describing visual ideas to others (even if no AI work is in the final submission)?
I do see one rule about AI though on the Spooktober page. Basically the rule was what I quoted: "The usage of generative AI for any part of your submission is prohibited! Humans must illustrate, write, program, etc every part of your submission!"
I was just trying to clarify what Remort Studios meant though, because they said you can't use AI in "any part of the creative process", but the rule on the Spooktober page says you can't use AI "for any part of your submission". Those are two very different things.
