What pay rules and dates has Lofter posted about AI content limits?

Research question: What creator-level payout or policy-effective-date disclosures has Lofter or a comparable Chinese blogging platform published around AI-content restrictions, and what dates do they state?

The records show LOFTER's official Weibo statements on March 6-7, 2023, saying the AI drawing training set came from open-source data rather than LOFTER user works, and promising 10,000 yuan per infringing image ². LOFTER published an apology letter to creators on March 10, 2023, stating that the AI feature had been taken offline on March 8 and that a creator protection plan had been launched ³. That plan prohibits AI-generated content from being published as original works and strengthens AI content identification and feedback handling ⁵, and it set up a separate AI content section ⁴. The records show no platform-specific creator payout terms or revenue-sharing effective dates for AI-assisted content; a 2026 AIGC study says revenue sharing for such creation still needs clarifying ¹. The only comparable disclosure found is Baidu's Wenxin Yige agreement, dated March 10, 2023, which covers image IP ownership rather than creator payouts, and it is not a blogging platform ⁸. The newest dated fact is from March 2023, more than three years before October 2026, so these disclosures may no longer reflect current policy.
