Should AI-generated 'stories' be banned? Just askin'!!
In my opinion, categorically banning "AI generated" stories, no.
If someone deliberately uses AI to copy someone else's work, that can and should be banned, but you wouldn't be banning it because they used an AI.
If the story is unreadable, maybe, but again you aren't banning the story because AI was used, but because of the low quality result.
Stories? No. I like that they got their own category, so I can simply avoid them.
I think users who refuse to mark their stories as AI-generated should get banned. And, yes, that includes the ones who "only" use AI to write the filler parts between the sex scenes. You know who you are.
AI programs are designed to accept 2 things as input. First, a request and description of the story to be generated. Second, a database of existing stories. Then it patterns the new story based on its database of existing stories.
If the existing stories were rated as poor, then the new story is very likely to be rated as poor.
Do we really need to be overwhelmed by a flood of poorly written stories?
Over the past few weeks, I started reading several stories. In two of those stories there was a very noticeable error in the first sentence of the story. The rest of the story was riddled with other errors, such a referring to a male (or female) character as she (he).
The problem with trying to ban Ai-generated stories is how do you know that the author used AI to generate the story if they don't admit to using AI.
Stores about AI are fine, as those have always been both popular and powerful. Stories which were edited with the assistance of AI are, problematic, yet the intent is good, and their stories are probably better for it, but once you're stories are submitted, it also means the AI systems can then access them, meaning you very well might encounter future copyright violations (either yourself or others who's work includes direct sentence fragments, sentences or even entire paragraphs of yours.
Alas, once we free the genie, we're all subject to it's many whims and quirks, so best leave those genies and demons be.;)

Some of those posted on SOL are pretty decent IMO (but some aren't). Presumably that's a reflection on both the quality of the AI and the ability of the 'author' who operated it.
I don't think there's a strong case for banning AI generated stories at the moment. That might even be impractical because it's impossible to know how much the AI has generated - whether it's fillers, wallpaper, specific scenes, or the whole story.
However if the quantity of AI-generated stories becomes a flood, making it difficult for readers to find stories with original content, that should prompt reconsideration.
Who knows, using AI to generate stories might achieve mainstream acceptance, like using spellcheckers.

Assuming Lazeez correctly flagged it.
I tried one story with the AI tag and sent the author a note asking him about his AI experience, and how he was able to generate sex scenes with AI. He never answered. So I have no idea if AI actually generated that story.
There are AI engines that will generate uncensored NSFW content. Of course they generally aren't free.
One I've been playing with is https://novelai.net/ It's completely uncensored but you can't do much with a free account.

Like most SOL categories, those are writer chosen, not system assigned, so you'd assume the author knows how it was developed.
That said, given how prevalent AI is, and how horrendous the modern AI tools are, I'd likely never read anything listed as "AI" generated, and given the majority of the current SOL stories, I'm barely following many stories as it is. But then, the few that I am, do not qualify for FineStories either.

Lazeez said he tagged most of them.
I stand corrected then. I guess I'd heard that, yet I'm more used to the older systems than the more recent changes, since I haven't posted much lately.
I have one that is a combination of AI and my writing, because the AI couldn't do enough or lost track so I had to fix. It's not the worst thing any of my pen names have written, but nowhere near the best
I'd never criticize that approach, what I do bitch about is when someone just types in an AI prompt and simply assumes it's adequate, as often it's not. You're definitely using AI correctly, but again, "AI" is an overly generic term, so you're never sure what it's referring to, so it's hard to determine what's fitting and what isn't.
But again, I keep on ranting, rather than just shutting up and dropping the topic.
No worries. The story published under this name was to test out an AI erotica app. It was an okay experience, but also as someone who has many stories (not novels though) on here, and who sometimes finds adhd and other things interfering with writing, I thought I'd see if it could jump start something. I'll be intrigued more to play with it in the future, but it's been mostly a disappointment so far, though I've also only been using free things
