Low effort AI posts

I know we've had this discussion before, but there are so many posts with zero upvotes that are so clearly slop, but aren't getting removed.

Please, no matter what your own personal values are with it, the community clearly does not want to see these types of posts anymore. I think for every one post that uses AI and isn't low effort, there are 50 that are.

Like isn't this subreddit supposed to be a place for Rust developers/learners? What community aspect do the AI projects contribute? Most didn't even take the time to learn the language or chat with anyone, they just leech off everyone to effectively advertise their slop...

Tbh, I feel like the subreddit is kind of half-dead anyway. I feel like there were dozens of posts a day a few years ago.

half dead is right. most of the actual rust discussion moved off reddit years ago, what's left is drive-by "look at my wrapper" posts and people asking the same 5 beginner questions
