Also this:

I recently saw a board where a user was generating AI art for other users based on their neopets. This made me think about the BC/art gallery and how the official rules pages for both haven't been updated in a long time. It also made me think, 'Wow, what's stopping people from submitting AI art to these competitions and potentially winning them?' Is there an official stance on whether or not AI art is allowed to be entered into these competitions, and, if it's not, how might TNT combat people from entering with AI art? Personally, I don't want it allowed and find current AI art extremely unethical. Please keep my username anonymous. ~~Anonymous




Yes, we have internally been discussing how the rise of art generated using AI will impact some of our creative contests on the site. We agree that allowing users to enter AI art into on-site competitions would be unfair to artists who have spent hours perfecting their work. We are planning on updating the rules of both the Beauty Contest and Art Gallery soon to state that AI art entries are not allowed. Since AI art is a relatively new phenomenon that is still developing, it will likely be difficult to identify every single AI submission. However, we will look into ways to detect AI-generated art and do our best to keep up with these developments in our rapidly changing world! Also, as always, if you see a user who you suspect is breaking the rules, please do not hesitate to let us know and send along any information you have that could help us verify they have been cheating. Kikocat even removed an AI art submission today after it was reported by another user! ~~Aesop

February Poetry Schedule by tnt_stone

Feb 3rd - Zafara Day
Feb 6th - Jhudora Day (Late)
Feb 13th - Lenny Day (Late)
Feb 14th - Valentine's Day
Feb 20th - Chia Day (Late)
Feb 21st - Tonu Day
Feb 22nd - 100th Poetry Contest
Feb 23rd - Mynci Day (Late by a day to make space for 100th Contest)

If for some reason another poetry contest is added or extracted the #2600 edition of the contest will still be the 100th Contest.

Note for 100th - This can be themed around anything. Think of it as a special random day. There will only be 25 winners. For a better chance of your poem being considered include a note stating it is for the 100th contest. This will not guarantee a spot as poems without this note may also be included but it will help the editor find any poems that would like to be considered for this contest.
