The new #IFComp rule forbids authors from using genAI to produce any text or art assets in their entries, or having players interact with AI systems during play.

Authors can use AI for things like research and coding assistance if they want, but everything players directly experience must now be wholly human-produced.
I am on the comp advisory committee, and was one of many folks taking part in this discussion, guided by player surveys. I feel happy with where it ended up. #InteractiveFiction

@jmac This is good stuff! I especially appreciate banning it for art assets too. It’s a stronger stance than Bandcamp took.

@jmac Did use of language models for parsing input come up? I didn't see it on the list but of all the possible uses it's the only one where I see it really being of any value to the player experience. Growing up on text adventure games the parsers to me alternated between being sources of bemusement and frustration.

@mirth I’m not sure it was part of this discussion. I'd be interested in how it would cross "Entries must not require judges or players to interact with external AI or generative services during play", part of the new rule.
I'll add that this topic's almost certainly come up on the IFTF forums at https://intfiction.org. In fact, I just searched that website for “llm parser" and got a ton of recent discussion, so I can direct you there with confidence.

@jmac Language model as parser would certainly be against the current rules. The small but useful version is enough of a technical lift it sounds like nobody's done it yet but enough people have had the idea that it will happen eventually.
