If I were an editor, and someone passed me their amatuerish version of Lolita to edit through, I'd be well within my rights to say that I didn't want to be involved in it.

More broadly, the editing company I worked for could say - even if you don't intend on releasing this and even if our individual editors don't mind reviewing it - we don't want to have to edit it, and we don't want to be associated with it.

This is no different, but at scale. AI Dungeon, due to their agreement with OpenAI, don't want to have to work with this content. They've found a pretty awful way of implementing it to save the relationship with OpenAI, and hopefully they'll find a better one in the future.

The big difference is that Lolita is a book, so it aims to be published, while most if not all AI Dungeon content stays private and unpublished, so I don't think it's the same.

The intention was to show that there is another party involved in the content, even if you intend on the content being private and unpublished.

That party can say that they don't want to be involved with content, regardless of its type.
