The rule is in the sidebar but I feel like new mods don’t understand how it is part of what made this community a nice place
It’s not an overwhelming trend but I have noticed more AI/LLM content and comments on this sub compared to the old one (to be clear, most of it is suspected only and not significant enough to be provable). I have reported the most obvious and provable one so far which you can see here if interested.
No hate or negativity though ❤️ Thanks and respect to our mods; let’s just please keep our eyes open; part of what has always made this community beautiful is interacting with diverse people and their human voices!
I commented on one recently and mods reached out to me to let me know that calling out AI posts was uncivil (which I sort of get) so I will not be linking to any examples at this time.
But yeah as I said in the post it’s not an overwhelming trend it’s just a bit more than there used to be.
Hi! I did send you a DM however in it I did not say that calling out AI is uncivil, I said that you should have just reported instead of taking part in an uncivil exchange. It is the opinion of me and the other mods that the comment in question did not impact the community in any meaningfully negative way and that there is no solid proof that it is written by AI.
Alright, I am locking this thread before it gets too mean. Please remember these community rules:
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
The "Avoid AI generated content." rule is primarily meant for posts, not comments. We also used the word "avoid" rather than make it an outright ban of everything AI because things aren't always black and white. There is wiggle room in there, for example if there have been enough transformative edits to an image or meme. Please, lets just keep it lighthearted and if there are any issues, report to the mod team (Rule 3).
Understood. As a committed member of your community, I encourage you you to reevaluate your identification tools or process as it is clear to me that this is not true.
Yes, here unfortunately. I report the obvious ones but the mod team’s action process is clearly flawed as one super obvious one got left up. Hoping this post can be an encouragement for change! :)
And your reasoning doesn't sound good, I never used an "AI detection websites", but generating an outline of an article is not the same as generating new-ish content based on a prompt.
LLMs are tools. There are good usecases which fit for them, like creating an outline of a long article, it can be seen as an accessibility tool, it can help people with ADHD read long articles.
And there are bad usecases like creating memes and shitty illustrations, and nonsense stories. Don't be a luddite just because some people use a tool for the wrong thing. The comment you link doesn't sound to me LLM generated at all, some people write like that, with hashtags and emojies. Why should I trust YOUR ai tool to always correctly detect another AI tool?
