In short
AI tools are allowed, but readers should be able to tell when generative AI materially created what they are reading or viewing. The creator remains responsible for rights, disclosure, and policy compliance.
1. AI is permitted with disclosure
Talevara does not ban a story merely because generative AI was used. Material use must be disclosed so readers can filter or evaluate works according to their own preferences.
2. When an AI label is required
Use the AI-assisted label when a generative system created or substantially rewrote meaningful portions of story text, dialogue, scenes, illustrations, cover art, audio, character art, or other material presented as part of the work.
3. When a label is normally not required
Routine spelling correction, grammar checking, formatting, synonym suggestions, non-generative accessibility tooling, or minor copy-editing that does not materially author the expression normally does not require the AI-assisted label. Brainstorming or research support without direct generative material appearing in the published work also normally does not trigger the label.
4. Mixed workflows
If a work combines human and materially AI-generated elements, label it. The purpose of the label is reader transparency, not an estimate of what percentage was generated.
5. Rights and impersonation
AI use does not excuse infringement. Do not upload generated material that unlawfully copies protected works, misuses another person’s likeness or voice, or falsely suggests endorsement or authorship. Do not present an AI-generated imitation as a new work by a real author.
6. Safety rules still apply
Generated content is subject to the same Content and Community Guidelines as human-created content. Prompting a system to produce prohibited material does not create an exception.
7. Reader controls
The production product should make the AI label visible on story pages and discovery cards and should allow readers to include or exclude labelled works from discovery where feasible.
8. Changes in tooling
As generative workflows evolve, Talevara may clarify which uses require disclosure. Material changes should be announced rather than silently redefining creator obligations.
