Based on recent comments this feels like a discussion we should have. So…topic, basically.

I’m not looking to be chief noisemaker on this, but I stand by what I wrote in !privacy and what’s in my post history.

Let’s have at; do we want a [AI] and [NOT AI] tag. Why or why not?

    It feels like there’s been an increasing flood of AI slop projects, with varying degrees of monetization / donations. I think it’ll become a huge problem if we don’t have at a minimum very strict rules around AI generated slop projects. I think a mandatory tag with penalty of removal is a good bottom floor, in addition to the recent community participation activity % requirements for promoting monetized projects, which covers a good chunk of AI projects.

    Then hopefully soon we can figure out as a community what to do to control the remaining volume of non-strongly-monetized AI slop projects if those are still too widespread, but having it labeled is absolutely needed transparency, and that’ll still be difficult because lots of people seem to lie about not using AI.
