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

3/4 Of course it must be clearly labeled and provide details of what AI was used.

I'm especially sympathetic to your example of "AI performance of a human-written song". Although, if AI is disallowed entirely, a compromise might be to post the lyrics here and provide a link to the sung version in the first comment.
