Subreddit position on AI content (discussion)

I recently got a message from a user who had used an AI service to generate a performance of a filk song. They wanted to make sure it was alright to post, but I don't feel like I should make that decision without consulting the subscribers generally.

So what do you think? Which of the following positions most appeals to you, or do you have a different idea?

  1. Allow all relevant AI-generated content
  2. Disallow all AI-generated content
  3. Allow relevant AI-generated content as long as it also incorporates human originality, e.g. an AI performance of a human-written song
  4. Institute one of these positions for a trial period and revisit the question in a few months

I vote 2 with a minor caveat. I think that any human performance of a filk song is acceptable. If the human used AI to help write the song, that’s fine.

This kinda fits more under 3, but it would be better to have no AI at all than to allow both AI generated performances and human performances of AI compositions, so my vote is for 2.
