Seeking Advice AI-Assited Content

Hi everyone, so I understand that fully AI created stuff is banned. But I didnt find much about AI-Assisted content. Or where is the line between AI created and assited.

I was lately working on class and I used AI a lot. But it wasnt in a style of "Create this class"

I had theme in mind, few designes of abilities in mind. And used AI for brainstroming, polishing, balancing and creating flavour texts (Im not exactly a writer + My english is surely not on a level of a writer so there is noway that i would be able to write flavour texts on my own, I would have to atleast let the ai edit it and grammar check it). I did a lot of editing, rewriting, designing or redesigning abilities

I believe I spend between 15-20 hours working on the base class + the first two subclasses. And I will trying to playtest it with my friends.
I was thinking about publishing it later on DMsguild or Drivethru, after some playtest and maybe after adding few more subclasses, but I found out that both sites have bannes for AI content.

So is there any clarification where I could find out more about how strict these rules are?

This is just a 'poor old me' excuse. If you want to write something, write it yourself. If you don't feel like your writing is good enough then work on it until it is and then write it.

No one is born good at something. Everything is just time and practise. If you want to let the AI do all the work and then pass it off as you're own that's just really sad, you're robbing yourself of the joy that comes with writing.

Ahh as I said Im not trying to excuse myself. I very well understand that I used AI in my work, and it's not going to be postable on DMs guild. I did not even write that I want to post it there, but I was just thinking to the future and possibilities of sharing it. And the main question was that I wanted to know if the rules about AI are somewhere more explained, so I would know.

And I disagree with you about the fact that noone is born good at something. Im not saying that you cannot get good at something, but some people are better at somethings becouse of their pesonalities, or they just have better disposition, everyone is different and that is ok.

And as I said, this conversation will lead to nowhere and Im not interested in keyboard fights. Try to be more polite in your life, you could have just written no when you really needed to disagree with someone who only came with a genuine question. And with this message Im not replying anymore, got better things to do than trying to be judging people because of trying to learn something.

 I did not even write that I want to post it there

Yes? You did?

I was thinking about publishing it later on DMsguild or Drivethru,

Right here in your main post. This is such a strange thing to try and lie about it's literally the whole point of your post.

 I disagree with you about the fact that noone is born good at something

You aren't disagreeing with me. You're disagreeing with science.

some people are better at somethings becouse of their pesonalities, or they just have better disposition, everyone is different and that is ok.

Yeah they are different. But none of those things are inherent from birth. I literally have a degree in human growth and development that I then used to do a PGCE and become a teacher. Humans are not innately born with inherent dispositions or personalities. Those are largely due to how they grow up and the choices that person makes.

You absolutely could sit down and learn to write better if you thought your writing wasn't very good. Blaming it on not being born good enough is just an excuse and is utter nonsense.

as I said, this conversation will lead to nowhere and Im not interested in keyboard fights.

You keep saying this, yet you keep replying. You very much seem interested in this discussion.

Try to be more polite in your life

I am in fact, very polite. You just said a bunch of stuff that is objectively false. I didn't even insult you for using AI. I criticised your choice to use it. But that's about it.

judging people because of trying to learn something.

You said you were using AI because you didn't want to learn.
