That would be feel out, not feel-up, unless you're into that kind of thing in which case I can't help you right now.

Some people aspire to greatness and others have it thrust upon them; so it was for me as well when the lemmy.world admins outright insisted I take over this sub as moderator in the absence of the other listed mod, @suns3t@lemmy.world, who has been inactive for almost two years. So far I've left this place as I found it, including leaving that sidebar rather forlorn and barren. The community so far just implicitly inherits the lemmy.world sitewide rules, which we can do nothing about, and that's it.

I'm making a rare appearance here because I noticed the wailing and gnashing of teeth over AI content with the recent Die Hard Lego set post. At the moment I handle moderation based entirely on user reports. If a bunch of people flag something, or just one person who makes a decently compelling case, I'll remove the offending post or comment. A sidenote also to that one guy from the other week who sent me a report over a post they simply disagreed with and did not provide a reason: That one didn't meet my threshold.

Anyhoo, I'm getting the feeling there's a rather strong sentiment around here that people don't like AI generated content. So here's the question:

Should we prohibit posting AI generated stuff here an actual rule? Yea or nay.

No, capitulating to people who are blindly anti-AI and crusading about it is dumb. Looking at the comments on that post, it seems pretty controversial whether it's actually bad.

The two arguments that seem to make sense to me are, the appeal of the image leans on the idea that it might be real, and some people want an easy way to entirely filter AI content from their feed. I feel like there should be less heavy handed ways to address those issues than a blanket ban.

Yes, please prohibit AI slop.

Yes.

Side note, anyone aware of an instance that prohibits it?

Yes, I feel we need a rule against AI Slop in Just Post, as it's becoming far too common to see Slop on the Fediverse! They need to be contained in their highly specific communities that I can block, filtered out of other communities with rules against it's presence.

[โ€“] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Vote yes for the ban

Yea! Stop the Slop!
