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.

At the very least have the post author mark it as having AI involvement. Idk if there's an equivalent to reddit automoderator but any new app sharing post should be autoreplied by the automod to mark AI involvement.

Or some kind of tagging.
