If an admin determines that an AI generated or assisted appeal is low effort / done in bad faith they are free to close it and request an appeal written by the appellants own hand.

1. PapaMichael expresses dissatisfaction with what seems to be a low-effort, AI-generated appeal, noting that a simple apology would have been more effective than the content provided.
2. Sightld2 confirms that there have been instances of AI-generated appeals in the past, to the extent that it led to the creation of a specific rule. This rule allows administrators to close appeals deemed low effort or made in bad faith, specifically if they are AI-generated or assisted, and request a personally written appeal by the appellant.
3. EmpressMaia echoes Sightld2's sentiment, indicating that the issue of AI-generated appeals has been prevalent enough to necessitate a policy thread. The quick exchange between EmpressMaia and Sightld2 shows a light-hearted competitive rapport.
4. The conversation ends with EmpressMaia expressing surprise that an AI-generated appeal, described as "5 paragraphs of ai slop," was submitted for something as minor as a note, implying that such an effort seems excessive for a small issue.

Have we had an obviously ai-generated appeal before? This is pretty bad.

A 1-word "sorry' would have had exactly the same substance as this.

Lack of Context Understanding: AI, while advanced, may not fully understand the nuances and context of a particular situation in the game. SS13 is known for its complex and often chaotic gameplay, which may involve intricate interactions between players, roles, and in-game systems. An AI might not grasp these complexities accurately and could provide inappropriate or irrelevant suggestions for appealing a note.

Subjectivity of Appeals: Appeals in SS13 often involve subjective judgments about player behavior and interactions. These judgments can be based on various factors, including in-game rules, community standards, and individual perceptions. AI algorithms might struggle to interpret subjective criteria effectively and could provide inconsistent or biased recommendations for appealing notes.

Limited Data and Training: AI systems require extensive training data to learn effectively. In the case of SS13 appeals, there might not be enough diverse and representative data available to train an AI model adequately. As a result, the AI might not be able to generalize well to new or complex appeal cases, leading to inaccurate or unreliable recommendations.

Lack of Accountability: Using AI to handle appeals could potentially remove the human element from the process. Human moderators and administrators can exercise judgment, empathy, and discretion when evaluating appeals, taking into account factors beyond strict rule adherence. AI systems, on the other hand, lack this capacity for empathy and may not consider extenuating circumstances or mitigating factors that could influence an appeal decision.

Community Trust and Engagement: In many online gaming communities like SS13, player trust in the appeal process is crucial for maintaining a healthy and vibrant player base. Introducing AI into the appeal process without proper transparency and oversight could erode player trust and lead to dissatisfaction with the moderation system. Human involvement in appeals helps foster a sense of community and ensures that decisions are made with fairness and understanding.

In summary, while AI technology has the potential to assist with various tasks, including moderation and dispute resolution, using it to handle appeals for SS13 notes may not be advisable due to the complexity of the game, the subjective nature of appeals, and the importance of human judgment and community trust in the moderation process.
