i recognize this is a massive task for moderation on a popular page, but can we stop posting ai generated anti-ai content and giving it visibility. Every wasted second of my life viewing ai generated content is precious.

can we maybe just allow reporting of ai generated posts to help self-police? I just see a hard stance against allowing intentional or unintentional posting slop as necessary for an anti-ai page to maintain legitimacy

    https://lemmy.world/post/53723207 is the most recent obvious example of what I mean, but I would ban ai generated news articles using ai images… if you look at the authors on these pages their “journalism” career seems to start in 2025 in so many cases… giving ai written “news” our attention is also playing into their hand… encouraging people to be more thoughtful about what they consume instead of getting rage baited into sharing something is going to help us all in the long run.

      It seems to me the main point from that post was the text above (which was not from an LLM AFAICT), which I do think is in the spirit of the com since it is a response to criticism of spaces like this.

        I agree. It is hard, sometimes, to criticize a thing without referencing it. I think the moderators should have the latitude to decide when the value of a critique rises above the cost of presenting the very thing that this community exists to criticize.

        It will be inherently subjective and case-by-case, regardless of how the rule is worded. I think that means our job is to report things we think are wrong, and do our best to trust and respect the moderators who have to make the tough calls.

        I don’t want to start a witch hunt without doing my research, but when you see a news post from a website you’ve never heard of, and you check the author and what else they post, you start to see a lot of suspicious activity; such as being insanely prolific yet not having anything published before 2025
