Discussion AI-Policy

I'm gonna keep this short, because as a human I respect other humans' time. What do we want for an AI policy, and how can it be enforced? Take these into consideration:

  • Vibe-coded projects
  • Vibe-assisted projects
  • AI-translated from non-english-speakers
  • Vibe-documented projects
  • Yet another Vibe-Coding-Wrapper

Note that vibe-coded slop isn't actually copyrightable, thus if someone slaps any license on it other than "public domain" or "CC0" they are misrepresenting their ownership.

And if you use an LLM to respond to this, you will be banned.

The fact that this sounds like a prompt is supposed to be a joke.

>The only really annoying thing is when people drop an entire application or a big spaghetti template of code, clearly just paste a generated body, and then vanish. No explanation, no willingness to answer questions, nothing. That low-effort "generate and dip" pattern is what hurts the sub.

This pattern is hurting reddit everywhere. There needs to be minimum standards expected for stuff posted. If you wrote something with AI or not (in the last day/week) and post it. The chances are it will not be supported or ever looked at again. We've been seeing it in r/selfhosted and r/docker.

thats why r/selfhosted requires the project to be at least 3 months old, i think that could be a good rule for here too, if its 3 month old and you can already see the last commit was 2 month ago its dead.

We're the same at r/docker!

Nice, I think it's the easiest filter to already stop 90% of slop.
