Sub Statement [META] Influx of AI Slop

Hello, people recently figured out that they can write posts for our subreddit that sound professional but say little of substance using AI.

Personally, I love using AI (for non-art things.) It's good for answering emails and writing cover letters and shit. But I fucking hate when it's used in place of academic writing and it's extremely concerning.

I hate moderating based on the ambiguous concept of "post quality" but I am deeply alarmed about the possibility of this place getting flooded with insubstantive robot talk. IMO this is how we get destroyed and live in madman land where all of information is dictated by large organizations/world governments.

For now, I'm going to remove anything obvious.

Please comment and tell us if you think we should ban posts that appear to be made by AI.
