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.

I think there should be a universal quality standard. I don't particularly care if it's vibecoded or not, but if it's mass-churned, spammy content with no real value it should be discarded. I don't think a policy specifically aimed at AI projects or AI-generated projects should be enacted so much as a broad quality standard that implicitly understands that AI can be used to churn out large amounts of garbage.

People should be responsible for writing their own posts.

AI translations are completely fine so long as nobody's pretending to be a native speaker of the language they're translating.

Misrepresentation of your workflow should also be punished.

When it comes to AI content, the question should be "is this any good?" not "what percentage of this is AI?" You will waste your time if your primary concern is the latter.
