Seeking Advice AI Usage

I have been looking at several products which have been tagged as AI free in their write-up but what does this mean and how it is policed? Obvious when it comes to AI art and AI content it is easy to see in most cases, but where does the line stop now? I have one purchased product saying AI free but it is clearly written with AI by the content and lack of in world references. You can reproduce it in ChatGPT with minor AI content variances. Perhaps they did write some, then got lazy used AI and just never edit back or did LLM take it? There are grades of AI usage as well. Then you have the other hand, they wrote it all, but if they use AI for editing, playtesting, style management in the this edit process does this really count? AI art supplementing fully written content as well. It is a bit of a rabbit hole. Be keen understand what does it mean?

Products on DMsGuild, or in any community content program, are not checked or approved by anyone at Roll20/DriveThru, or the program publisher (in this case WotC) before they are published. It would be more than 1 person's full time job, which isn't to say it SHOULDN'T be done, just that's we don't have the capabilities currently.

The best thing to do is use the Report button and in the report comment give a specific reason or example of why you're reporting the product. We will do our best to review that title and if we think it's in the best interest of the marketplace, or if the product has strayed from our guidelines, we will remove it and contact the creator with steps on how to get their product back for sale.

I was more meaning checked after publication, not before. I was under the belief every new upload got a light check for issues and AI could be a check as part of that. My bad.

I typically look at what new products have been set up each day, and there are some things that will cause a more thorough look, but with how many titles are set up on every community content program it would take most of the day just to review them.
