Justicar's Opinion

Facts

On July 3, 2026 your submission to the [GJW XVII Phase II] Graphics/Multimedia - Stickfigure Comic was raised to Justicar Kamjin “Maverick” Lap’lamiz’s attention as potentially being generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

The Chamber of Justice began an investigation and found evidence that the image was more likely than not created by AI. Specifically, testing as 95% likely to have been generated by ChatGPT. This was consistent with statements Quinn had previously made for the [GJW XVII Phase II] Graphics/Multimedia - Spymaster’s Dossier that he had utilized ChatGPT to create the images, which were allowed in that competition.

The Chamber of Justice then reviewed Quinn’s fictional submissions to the following competitions and found a high probability that AI was utilized to generate some or all of the content.

  • [GJW XVII Event Long] Fiction - The Hutt and the Bear
  • [GJW XVII Phase II] Fiction - Multiprompt: Impact of War
  • [GJW XVII Phase II] Fiction - Combat Fiction

Analysis

Following previous cases utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) the Chamber of Justice invested considerable time in preparing for a potential AI art submission. Below outlines the process the Chamber of Justice utilized to confirm the submitted art work was generated by AI before bringing charges to Quinn.

The Chamber begins with obtaining human opinions regarding the art work. In our case, that involves discussion with the Herald of the Brotherhood. The Chamber and Herald look for any distinctive markers of AI generation - e.g., inconsistent artifact generations such as extra digits or limbs, inclusion of unexpected or inconsistent items such as a manga character in a photorealistic piece of art.

The inverse is then explored. Is there an absence of defects or inconsistencies? In this case, the Chamber was reviewing a purported photograph of a hand-drawn comic.

In the image, there were consistent ‘hand-drawn’ comic boxes, the icon utilized the same portions and framing in each image, there were no smudges on the paper that would indicate an individual’s hand had moved across it nor eraser marks.

Once the Chamber had sufficient suspicions that the image was AI generated the image was run through several AI image detectors. Each AI image detector reported a high probability of AI generation (97-99% likely to be AI generated).

The Chamber then conducted a verification of the AI image detectors by submitting the following images.

  • Known AI generated image
  • Known professional digitally drawn image
  • Known unprofessional digitally drawn image
  • Known semi-professional photograph of hand-drawn pencil image

In each situation the AI image detectors correctly identified both the AI and human drawn images. In addition, they were able to determine which had been digitally edited versus hand-drawn without digital editing.

As such, the Chamber has high confidence that this process can successfully identify AI generated imagery during case investigations.

Sentencing

The Chamber of Justice has reviewed prior cases involving the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cheating occurring during a Great Jedi War when determining its sentence. The Chamber recognizes that Quinn is a new member to the Brotherhood, this is his first encounter with the Chamber of Justice, and he was willing to confess his guilt timely.

While the Chamber took this into consideration, each competition clearly indicated whether AI could or could not be utilized. As stated in cases DB v. Soren Leonis (CoJ 064) and upheld in DB v. Magik (CoJ 065), “cheating during DB-wide competitions is a more severe crime than cheating in unit-focused competitions, [and] the severity is further amplified during a vendetta.”

The Chamber has crafted a sentence, consistent with prior GJW cheating cases and low ranking members, that is both punitive and allows for an active and engaged member to continue their career with the Brotherhood following a fitting period of probation.
