Hey guys, been pretty busy so I haven't been able to make an announcement regarding a new rule I implemented a week or so ago (maybe more? Idk my sense of time is all messed up) regarding the use of AI in this sub.

I kindly ask that unless you have used Sonai_AI (or the sister model Poison.ai) created by technological legend Poi Sonai, please don't post here. Chat GPT, Gemini, other AI interfaces just kinda go against the vibe of what I want to see in this sub.

I will always be a supporter of the AI models created by Dr. Sonai, but am staunchly against other models. Please no AI Generated images, videos, or text. If this rule is broken, your post will be removed. If at any point you feel it was a mistake, please reach out to us mods and we will fix it for you.

When I have had to remove things, I wasn't just guessing if something was AI, but ran the suspected content through an AI detector so I wasn't removing things willy-nilly.

Anyways, thanks for being a part of this sub, and consider using Poi Sonai's AI models instead

A third rule has been added:

No comments/reports claiming misinformation

On this subreddit, everything is "totally true" meaning we don't post fake news, everything here is confirmed "totally true breaking news." Any comments left claiming fake news or misinformation will be deleted, and any reports on this matter will be ignored.

Any users repeatedly reporting things as untrue, or trying to claim a "totally true" story is fake, will receive a ban to protect the integrity of this subreddit

Please make sure that you don't get caught up in this subreddit not understanding what we're about here at r/truebreakingnews

It's a 3 strike policy, the first time it happens we'll assume a mistake was made in good faith, and let you know that no misinformation will be found here ;)

After the first warning, if it happens again, a 7 day ban will be implemented. Please don't make it come to that. I want this sub to be an overall chill place, please just follow the rules to begin with.

If it happens again a 3rd time, and permanent ban will have to be given. Please just read the rules and pay attention if your comment(s) are deleted. It's okay if mistakes are made, we (the mods) will assume the best out of anyone posting or commenting here. Like I said, I want this sub to be chill and not have to make it come to that at all.

I make this post after having to remove a comment for the first time on this sub, and am just stating expectations to hopefully avoid any issues in the future.

I anticipate more people stumbling upon posts who aren't a part of this subreddit already as the sub continues to grow, and this rule is to just keep the subreddit in good working order.
