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
