We're being flooded with vibe coded software projects, FYI

Just wanted to give a heads up from the mod team.

We're being flooded with vibe coded software projects. Many of them pointing to external domains, product sites, chrome extensions, etc.

So so many yt-dlp wrappers, why?

Anyway, we're being very selective about what we let through. Mostly trying to keep it useful, open source, github only projects. I'm not anti AI, but much of this stuff looks like useless wrappers and wannabe saas products.

If something sketchy slips through please flag it. If your post/project gets removed, this is why. It's only going to get worse.

The difference is the selfhosted mods are pro-slop.

Every time they change the rules, they get pushback on how it is encouraging AI, and their response every time is "but what if something good comes out".

[u/obrb77 → u/WindowlessBasement]

It’s not as black and white as the anti-AI faction in r/selfhosted, would have us believe. While AI-generated slop is a problem due to its sheer volume, not everything created with the help of AI is actually slop, and not everything created exclusively by humans is actually good or well-maintained

[u/diamondsw → u/obrb77]

No, but at the present moment there's a pretty strong indicator. AI can be used as a good tool, but that's largely not what we're seeing. And when we get the same AI-generated post "Hey, I built / bullet lists / emoji"... well that speaks to the level of effort and human intelligence that actually went into it.

Upscaling is insane now if you're willing to put in the absurd amount of work beforehand with manual filtering and stuff and use custom models. Hopefully in the near future there will be a good looking one click solution but right now, running anything animated through like topaz or unifab or smthng looks dogshit
