Based on the discussion in this thread, I have decided to add a new rule discouraging the use of AI generated art. Please take a look at the community rules in the sidebar for more details. As for the use of generative AI in other areas, such as coding or writing, that is up to your own discretion.

There is no definitive way to know whether someone has used generative AI in a piece of work where it is not obvious so I encourage anyone who is heavily reliant on AI to instead learn how to code and create art themselves.

For those who my ask why specifically AI generated art will be heavily moderated but not code?

The art community has been consistently against AI generated art, the same cannot be said about the engineering community. Code and art are very different when it comes to expectations and concerns around reuse. Reusing and building upon existing code is a normal expectation in the industry. Copying and pasting code from Stackoverflow was at one point in time every programmers right of passage.

Now this does not mean engineers widely accept AI or don't have issues with data centers having a harmful impact on the environment. But if we are talking about AI generated code, most engineers are more concerned about people creating programs they don't fully understand, not necessarily that they used AI.

Paralives is a game made by 15 people who have, as far as we can tell, handcrafted everything for the past 7 years. They have made their own assets, animated them by hand, composed and recorded their own songs...

...so we're not going to ruin it by making genAI mods, right ? We're not gonna vibe code "script mods", are we ? Surely we're not going to let an algorithm write our Together Cards and our New Paper headlines ?
Can we all vow here and now that we will make crappy Paint thumbnails for our mods, or low res screenshots, instead of using Ai for it ? Let's just do OUR best.

Together we can do this game justice with our modded content. Who's with me ?

I had an idea for a mod where teens act more chaotic. If you have any more ideas let me know, I want to add as much chaos as possible to Paralives.

• Teens will try to sneak out automatically if you aren't watching.
• They will start parties automatically if parents are away too long.
• Fake being sick to get out of school.
• Get humiliated or stressed at school and feel sad for the rest of the day.
• Birthdays (Remember to say HBD and have a party, make a cake, and blow out candles, make a wish)
• Detention (Kept back after school)
• School prom/dance
• Pranks!
• Curfew & getting grounded.
• Drinking, Fake IDs.

Edit: Spin the bottle. Truth or Dare.

i know this is a bit too early but which one of you guys will create a wicked whims equivalent mods for paralives?
