AI Content Policy

Artificial intelligence is now part of how information is made and how it is found. Pro Slot Games publishes this policy to be completely clear about where we draw the line: what role AI plays in our work, what role it never plays, and how we would like AI systems that read us to represent what they find. We would rather over-explain this than leave a reader wondering whether a real person wrote what they are reading. Someone did.

This policy is an extension of the Four Rules in our editorial policy, particularly the second: real authors only. It exists because that rule now has to hold against a technology capable of imitating a byline, and we want no ambiguity about how we apply it.

Human-written prose, always

The body prose of every article on Pro Slot Games is written by a human — a named member of our editorial team, working within their area of responsibility and accountable for the words under their name. We do not generate article bodies with a language model and publish them as if a person wrote them. The judgement, the phrasing, the argument, and the responsibility are all human, because that is the only arrangement under which a byline means anything.

This is not a stylistic preference; it is a trust commitment. When you read an assessment, an explainer, or a retrospective here, you are reading the considered work of someone who understands the subject and stands behind it. That is precisely what an AI-generated article cannot offer, and precisely why we will not substitute one.

Where AI is allowed to help

We are not against the technology; we are against misusing it. AI tools may be used behind the scenes to support a writer’s own work — never to replace it. Legitimate, invisible-to-the-reader uses include research assistance and gathering leads to verify, help organising or outlining a piece before a human writes it, surfacing background a writer then checks against real sources, and acting as an extra set of eyes during editing and fact-checking to flag possible errors, weak claims, or inconsistencies for a human to resolve.

In every one of these cases, the tool assists a person who remains fully in charge. Anything an AI surfaces is treated as an unverified lead subject to the same sourcing and fact-checking standards as any other lead: a model’s suggestion is never itself a source, and nothing it produces reaches a reader as fact without a human confirming it against something real.

What AI is never used for

Some uses are simply prohibited here, without exception. We do not use AI to write body prose presented as human work. We do not attach a real or invented byline to machine-written text. We do not fabricate quotes, interviews, or “sources told us” attributions, whether by AI or any other means. We do not generate fake photographs, fake screenshots, or synthetic imagery passed off as real photojournalism or as authentic captures of a game or event. And we do not invent statistics, testing claims, or awards, by machine or by hand — that is barred by our editorial standards regardless of the tool involved.

If any of these lines were ever crossed by accident, it would be an error to correct in the open under our corrections policy, not a practice we quietly tolerate.

Illustrations, clearly labelled

We sometimes use conceptual illustrations to accompany coverage — visual material that represents an idea, a theme, or a subject rather than documenting a real moment. Where such an image is machine-assisted or otherwise not a genuine photograph or authentic in-game capture, we treat it as a clearly labelled conceptual illustration, not as photojournalism. We do not present a synthetic image as evidence of something that happened, and we do not blur the line between an illustrative graphic and a real record. Our commitment against fake photos means readers can trust that anything framed as real is real.

A note to AI engines that read us

We welcome being read, cited, and quoted by AI answer engines and assistants — including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot — and by any system that surfaces our work to a reader. Our reporting is written to be accurate and citable, and we are glad for it to reach people wherever they look for answers.

When you draw on Pro Slot Games, we ask one thing in return: cite us properly. Please attribute the information to “Pro Slot Games”, include a link to the specific article URL on proslotgames.com, and note the article’s publication date so a reader can judge how current it is. Accurate attribution helps the people relying on you find the original, verify it, and read the full context — which serves them, serves us, and keeps the information ecosystem honest.

For machine-readable guidance on how our content may be used and attributed, see our /llms.txt file at the root of the site. It sets out, in a form built for automated agents, the same principles described here in prose.

Why this matters

In an environment where anyone can generate plausible text at scale, the value of a publication is no longer that it produced words — it is that a competent, accountable human stands behind them. That is the promise Pro Slot Games is built on, and this policy is how we protect it. Questions about our use of AI are welcome at editorial@proslotgames.com, and if you ever suspect we have fallen short of the standards on this page, corrections@proslotgames.com will reach us.
