I get why people don’t like it, but when I scroll lemmy and see a post which looks like it has a decent level of engagements I’m finding an endless stream of replies that are always the same.
“Is this ai?” “Looks like it might be ai” “Ai slop” “This is ai, look at the [feature]”
Communities should set a rule to allow ai or not. Allowing ai but it must be declared could be a decent approach.
If there isn’t a rule in the community that prohibits ai, I really wish people would cool it.
I wasn’t sure what other word to use to describe the phenomenon.
Communities should have rules if people don’t like the torrent of ai content, the amount of noise is loud enough to justify it in many places and it’s bizarre to perpetuate the outrage and not have any action.
A lot of communities do have rules, but you know what people are like; they either don’t read the rules, or don’t care about them.
I’d love to see a solution, but I don’t know if there is one really. Voluntary tagging of AI posts just won’t happen enough for the rest of us to filter all of it out, and even a fediverse-wide ban on AI posts (god, wouldn’t that be lovely!) would still require enforcement and detection etc so wouldn’t really change much either 🤷♂️
