DriveThruRPG and Roll20 Update AI Writing Policy: Per an announcement to partners on their Discord on July 19th:

“While we value innovation, starting on July 31st 2023, Roll20 and DriveThru Marketplaces will not accept commercial content primarily written by AI language generators. We acknowledge enforcement challenges, and trust in the goodwill of our partners to offer customers unique works based primarily on human creativity. As with our AI-generated art policy, community content program policies are dictated by the publisher that owns it.”

The full policy can be read here. As for the Community Content Program owners only time will tell, although some like Paizo have already gotten ahead of it and updated their own policies in kind.
