Fantasy Faire Banning AI Content

 

Content created by artificial intelligence, or AI, has been quite a controversial topic. And some days ago, the Fantasy Faire addressed the issue. They are banning all content created by AI at the festival.

 

It seems that before, content in which AI had a hand it it's creation was acceptable as long as it wasn't part of something for sale, that is, it could be used for marketing or items to decorate an area. Now, whether it's items for sale or marketing or decorations for areas, any AI-created content is banned from the Faire.

Fantasy Faire’s current (2025) stance toward Gen-AI (generative artificial intelligence) is that selling anything created with it is not allowed at the Faire. We have so far allowed its usage in marketing textures or decorations if they are not for sale, but the global situation has worsened so much during the last years that we are going to change this rule to cover everything that has been produced with the help of Gen-AI, regardless if they are for sale or not.

Starting Fantasy Faire 2026 no Gen-AI produced items are allowed anywhere within the Fairelands, whether they are for sale or not.
 

The reason given. the Fantasy Faire is about fantasy, about the magic of imagination and letting one's mind experience the magic of the imagination and creativity of others. And this is something a machine can't really duplicate, at best mimic (some would call stealing) the work of others.

 

Fantasy Faire has always been about imagination and inspiration, and the human talent in bringing your visions to life. We want to celebrate what people dream into being with their own imagination and skill sets instead of what a machine can cobble together from other people’s work. 

 

As for the writing of this article, the Fantasy Faire starts in fifteen days, on April 23.
