According to a chat conversation I'm having with the mod(s?) we can get rules about AI content if we ask for it.
I was chatting with the mod team after one of my comments got removed because I apparently attacked someone in a post about AI, anyway, I took the chance to mention the amount of slop on here, and was told that it's not currently against the rules, but I could make a post and if it gains traction they will likely add something.
**OK AI bros, first and foremost, I'm not saying we should shoot on sight anything that looks like it may have been in the vicinity of generative AI.**
So what do you guys reckon?
I think the thing that bothers me the most is when the communication around the project is very clearly AI instead of the human behind it taking the trouble to address us personally. People will throw the language barrier argument into the mix but I'm gonna say if you use Google Translate or something instead, yes it is also AI, but the result will be more of a direct translation of your thoughts and less corpospeak sycophantic drivel. Personally I prefer obviously foreign English over "perfect" slop English.
Here's what I expect at minimum:
* Accompanying text and/or infographic reads like it's written by a human. * OP and other commenters communicate like actual humans. * AI disclosure: be upfront about AI use, this gets all the initial "is this vibecoded?" questions out of the way.
Other areas I'm more open to leeway:
* Art: not a fan of the genAI style but maybe we don't have to ban it. * Code: can't really prove if AI assistance was used, don't care as much.
So yeah, if you're tired of all the slop (or if you really love it?), please interact with this thread, apparently it will be seen and acted upon if there's interest.
