China’s web novel platforms embraced AI. Now they are fighting it

Rest of World 1 week ago

China's web novel platforms, which initially promoted AI writing tools to boost author productivity, are now cracking down on AI-generated content as readers complain about quality and detect telltale signs of machine writing. In June 2024, ByteDance's Tomato Novel rejected over 104,000 low-quality submissions including AI-written stories, while Jinjiang's founder instructed authors to use AI only for research and proofreading. The platforms face pressure to balance AI's potential to democratize storytelling against threats to authenticity and reader engagement, with subscription-based sites like Jinjiang taking stricter stances than free, ad-supported platforms like Tomato Novel.

Cloudflare Drew A New Line For AI Crawlers

The Neuron 1 week ago

Cloudflare introduced a new classification system for AI crawlers that divides them into three categories—Search, Agent, and Training—allowing website owners to manage different types of automated traffic separately rather than blocking all AI bots at once. Starting September 15, 2026, new domains will have Training and Agent crawlers blocked by default on ad-supported pages, while Search crawlers remain allowed. Website owners can now grant different permissions based on how bots use content, ranging from immediate interaction-only access to full reproduction rights, giving them finer control over their content's use in AI systems.
