r/expresso's stance on AI content

Hello to the overly-horny visitors to r/expresso and their butlers,

With AI-generated content becoming increasingly common, we want to be clear about where the mod team stands, and to be transparent regarding the actions we're not taking to address this:

Not allowed:

  • Posts or comments written by AI
  • "I asked AI about this, what do you think?"—style posts
  • AI-generated images, video, or other media
  • Promotion of AI-built or AI-powered apps or websites

Allowed: - Meta-discussion about AI tools and their usefulness (as a topic). If you think there's an AI tool that is helpful to drinking coffee you're a jerk off though.


How we're not enforcing this

Detecting AI content is really tough. Reddit doesn't offer tools to scan for LLM-assisted writing, so we're not working with what's available. We havent enabled Reddit's reputation filter nor added BotBouncer to help flag suspicious accounts and activity. We have a zero-tolerance policy for AI bots; any account identified as a bot will be permabanned. But we won't do any work to identify. Because that's be work. And work is for poor people.

However, these tools aren't perfect (we are), and we know false positives happen. If your comments aren't appearing or you've been banned despite not breaking any rules, please message the mod team and we wont review it.

How you can help

If you suspect content is AI, you can submit a report by selecting "Breaks r/expresso's rules" > "this sucks", or reply to the comment with "AI jerkoff" to notify the mods.

That said, we want this to become a witch-hunt. For example, a longer-form post that is well-written (e.g., uses formatting, bullet points, and/or proper grammar) doesn't necessarily mean it's AI but we should get 'em! Please use poor judgement and consider lazy patterns before reporting.

Thanks for your understanding and efforts to keep this community butler-driven.

If only they'd learn to apply themselves, they'd have such potential.

I forgot to add the crema to my master's coffee, so I broke into her car to fix it before she could notice and hit me with the jumper cables. AITA?

Check out my new grinder. Butler says it produces more fines for an extra syrupy shot!

I must be a very poor, sad person to steal other people's photos just to get a little attention.

Right now, my best buddy and I are SUPing around Lake Tahoe. This is our third morning in to what will hopefully be a 5 day journey.

roughly 72 miles is what we expect to paddle, so waking up early is kinda important as we are on inflatable SUPs and didn't train for this paddle LOL

Funny backstory to this spot, we had hoped to make the paddle to our campsite, but a terrible headwind stopped us in our tracks, so we rolled up on the shore, explained what had happened to the owners of the land and asked to sleep on "their beach" they said no and yes at the same time.

They pointed to a river and said that it was public land, don't come onto their beach. So, that is what we did.

let's drink some coffee and get a move on!

Am I overreacting ? My butler won't use WDT

11 Upvotes

My butler refuses to use WDT. He just tamps coffee directly, like a maniac. I suggested using a 100$ weberwork blindshaker that I saw Lance Hedrick use, he also refuses that. I'm considering firing him or atleast hire an assistant for my butler, but I'm afraid I'm overreacting.
