I don’t mean the voice actor I mean the writer of the lore entries

I’m the Narrative Lead for BAR, and none of our content is LLM-generated, as anyone who has suffered through editing my rough drafts can confirm.

Our Lore Guidelines state: “No LLM-generated content, but using LLMs for editing or brainstorming is acceptable.” I think the main AI-related tool we use is a NotebookLM with all lore for checking/referencing things

Edit: I'm curious what sections read as LLM generated?

Thanks for clarifying. I recognize that the advent of LLMs have caused a sort of paranoid hypersensitivity towards what or what might not have been human-generated. And so it was little things in Glossary such as this bit in The Mantle

> To take the Mantle is to bear responsibility for every decision, failure, and life affected by one’s authority, without deflection to subordinates, systems, or machines. By this philosophy, every rank and position is primarily a service, not splendour.

The juxtaposition of a sentence of two lists (one of which is a reversal/contrast to another), next to another sentence that has the reversal construction "a service, not splendour" triggered some LLM hypersensitivity that I probably should fine-tune. Also from the main Cortex article, "Where Armada builds for motion, Cortex builds for order." is also throwing me off, I'm a little too biased against that phrasing structure these days.

That all said, where's the lore for the Legion?

Yeah that's fair, I have the same reaction to a ton of writing, especially for the "not X, but Y" and anytime I see an em dash.

You can see the foundations for Legion Lore from planets in the Galaxy Map, but that's coming much later and involves the campaign.

Looking forward to it!
