Ban AI Slop? (lemmy.ml)

I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months. How do you even modify and distribute that? I do not think we had a rule against it.

IMHO if we allow, the community gets drowned out by AI vomit and it is harder to see handcrafted loved projects that are easy to modify and distribute.

My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

Are folk in agreememt with this line? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I like this idea. Tag it. Mandatory disclosure. People should just be honest about the amount of AI they used and how.

"I vibecoded this awesome thing with 100k LOC in a weekend, check it out" vs "I used AI to help with planning and architecture, but wrote the code myself" are two very different things.

You have it backwards. It's better to keep a tight grip on planning and architecture than implementation of individual functions.

I'm not making a value call, I'm saying they are two very different things.
