imo this community should have a rule against posts promoting new primarily-written-with-an-LLM software projects. as an admin, i've deleted a few myself when there are reports of them and the mods aren't resolving them.

banning all AI-assisted software is obviously no longer reasonable now that many large and old projects are using it (with varying levels of care...) but I don't think we actually need a very firm definition of "slop" to be able to say some things clearly are slop and some AI-involved things clearly aren't. When in doubt about if something is of sufficient quality that we should keep it here, the age of the project and the number of developers involved are useful secondary metrics.

@gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml created a new community which I think should be linked in the sidebar here as an alternate place for sharing these things. How about this for a rule (in the !opensource@lemmy.ml sidebar)?

This is not a place to promote new single-developer heavily-AI-assisted projects. Another community exists for sharing AI-Assisted Libre Software: !aials@lemmy.ml

note that the word "slop" is intentionally absent from my proposed rule (and from name and description of the community) - the point is that this is a place for people to share their AI-created software, regardless of if it is 100% vibe coded or is actually high-quality "agentic engineering" - only time, review, and users will ultimately tell which category many of these new things fall into. But enough of it is slop that we shouldn't have this community flooded with it, imo.
