Important! Prohibited: Using ChatGPT or Other Large Language Models for Giving Critiques

TL;DR: You may not use ChatGPT or any other large language model-based chatbots to give critiques. Doing so is a direct violation of our Terms and Conditions.

Not every member will understand why we’re saying this, so please let me explain.

The impact of AI chatbots on authors and indeed on society as a whole is still far from clear. While we don’t want to prevent members from experimenting with this technology, and forming their own views, we cannot allow members to input other members’ work (e.g. for review, critique or other purpose) into any large language model-based chatbot.

Members may not be aware that chatbots such as ChatGPT are known to retain submitted data and use it to augment their own large language models (LLMs). If a member of Litopia inputs another members’ work into such a chatbot, they are (perhaps unknowingly) infringing the rights of the author concerned.

If an author wants to give away rights to their work by submitting it to such a chatbot, then that of course is their own personal decision.

As far as we are concerned, we are banning the use of ChatGPT and others chatbots in The Laboratory and in any other area of Litopia where members give input to other members’ work.
