Recently, iceheart, the webmaster of Jinjiang Literature City, released the "Trial Announcement on the Use and Judgment of AI-assisted Writing" at the Bishui Jiangting Forum. This is the first official regulation issued by Jinjiang for AI-assisted Internet literature creation. The release of this announcement marks an important step in the online literature platform's pursuit of a balance between technological application and originality protection.
The content of the announcement mainly revolves around three aspects: original definition, AI usage definition and punishment rules. Jinjiang Literature City has made it clear that in order to ensure that the author’s originality as the subject of writing is not affected while improving creative efficiency, authors are currently allowed to use AI aid tools within three specific scopes. These three scopes include: text-type assistance-proofreading, creative assistance-elements, and creative assistance-broken outline. If the author's use exceeds these scopes, it will be considered to affect originality and thus prohibited from using it.
Jinjiang Literature City will take a series of severe penalties for works that use AI to assist writing in violation of regulations. These measures include locking seals, one-month yellow cards, and permanent bans (including artificial and natural). If the illegal work is a VIP article, the platform will also refund all subscription revenue from the problem chapter and require that the chapter must be returned to the original manuscript before using AI to unlock. This series of measures aims to maintain the original standards of the platform and protect the author's creative rights and interests.
This announcement from Jinjiang Literature City not only sets the boundary for the application of AI technology in online literature creation, but also provides reference for other literary platforms. With the continuous development of AI technology, how to find a balance between technological convenience and originality protection will become an important issue in the field of literary creation in the future.
