Anti-AI Rules are used to reduce common templated phrasing, explanatory tone, and unnatural expressions in prose. They are not a mystical switch to make text "completely unlike AI writing," but rather a way to organize expression issues you do not want into inspectable, reusable rules. > [!NOTE] > > Anti-AI Rules can only handle clearly defined issues. They still need to be combined with style assets, character dialogue rules, chapter briefs, and human review for full adjustment. ## What Anti-AI Rules Can Do for You * Suppress empty summaries, over-explanation, direct emotional telling, and templated phrasing. * Constrain character dialogue so characters speak more like people and less like plot summaries. * Provide expression boundaries before prose generation. * Provide inspection direction after prose generation for detection and correction. * Work with style assets to bring the work closer to your desired narrative flavor. ## When to Use Them * Chapter content can be written, but it reads with obvious templated phrasing. * Character dialogue sounds like narration, lacking the character's own voice. * Descriptions frequently contain empty adjectives, slogan-like summaries, or over-explanation. * You want to centrally maintain a set of global default rules. * You want to prepare dedicated available rules for a particular style. ## Before You Start First collect the expression issues you encounter most often. Do not write too many rules from the start; excessive rules may conflict with each other and make prose generation stiff. We recommend starting with these categories: * **Empty summaries**: for example, only saying "he felt shocked" without specific actions and scenes. * **Over-explanation**: directly stating character motivation, theme, and relationship changes. * **Unnatural dialogue**: characters speaking like the author explaining setting details. * **Repetitive phrasing**: continuously using similar emotional and action expressions. * **Modern or internet slang intruding**: anachronistic vocabulary appearing in unsuitable genres. ## Recommended Workflow **1. Open Anti-AI Rules** Find the "Anti-AI Rules" (反 AI 规则) entry in the workbench navigation. **2. Review existing rules** Search rules by category or by name and description; expand "Rule details" to view generation instructions, revision suggestions, and detection reference expressions. **3. Create or edit rules** Clearly write the problem to avoid and the recommended correction direction. When needed, you can use AI to help generate or optimize rule drafts. **4. Save after confirmation** Review draft content and confirm it suits your work before saving. **5. Set effective scope** In "Effective scope" select global default or a specific style, expand "View rules," and verify which rules participate in generation and testing. **6. Effect testing** Click **Effect Test** (效果测试) to locate the test area, paste a complete scene, then click **Check expression** (检查表达) or **Preview local revision** (预览局部修订). When comparing other rules, first click **Add to test** (加入测试) in the list; the same rule is only counted once. **7. Verify before actual use** After verifying test results, return to the Style Engine or chapter execution to observe actual prose. Temporary testing does not change rule toggles or novel settings. ## How to Enter the Subsequent Creative Chain Anti-AI Rules can affect subsequent writing in two ways: * **Global default rules**: suitable for issues that all works should avoid. * **Style-specific available rules**: suitable for expression constraints tied to a particular style or genre. They work together with the Style Engine, chapter generation, prose inspection, and correction. More rules are not always better; the key is accurately describing the issues you want to suppress. **Effect Test** can temporarily add rules. After pasting a complete scene, view layered alerts and local revision previews. Inspection focuses on expression issues, not author attribution; a single word match does not directly constitute a violation. Suggestions requiring plot adjustments serve only as alerts; when revision protection fails, the original draft is preserved. Previews are not automatically saved to the novel; please verify character voice and setting before adopting. ## FAQ > [accordion] Are stricter Anti-AI Rules always better? > > No. Overly strict rules can make prose stiff and even affect character expression. Prioritize the most obvious and most frequently occurring issues. > [accordion] Can AI automatically create rules? > > You can let AI generate or optimize rule drafts, but drafts should be confirmed by you before saving. The system should not change writing rules for you without confirmation. > [accordion] What if rules conflict with style assets? > > Prioritize whichever better suits the current work. If a style requires emotional elaboration while an Anti-AI Rule prohibits all emotional expression, loosen the rule rather than letting the two pull against each other. > [accordion] Why does prose still feel AI-like after rules take effect? > > Anti-AI Rules can only handle clearly defined issues. They still need to be combined with style assets, character dialogue rules, chapter briefs, and human review for full adjustment. > [accordion] Which rules suit global default? > > Basic issues suitable for all works, such as avoiding empty summaries, avoiding dialogue that explains setting, and avoiding consecutive repetitive phrasing. Genre-specific or style-specific rules are better placed inside style assets. > [card] [Style Engine](https://ai-novel-writing-assistant.mintlify.site/en/features/style-engine.md) > > Save, edit, and reuse narrative styles, working with Anti-AI Rules to improve expression stability > [card] [Character Library](https://ai-novel-writing-assistant.mintlify.site/en/features/character-library.md) > > Save reusable character assets to keep character settings consistent This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
