Yup, I’m posting another this week. Sorry.

This week I’m hoping we can wrangle a solution around AI and our selfhosted community. There are plenty of strong opinions (both pro and con), but one thing is for certain - there needs to be better disclosure in promo posts. Two options (that aren’t mutually exclusive):

  • Any posts of an AI focused, AI Developed, etc software gets an [AI] tag. No, a [Not-AI] tag is not needed to accomplish this, thats kind of a “non-golfer” sort of tag.
  • Comment requiring an AI disclosure response to every promo post, if its not detailed in the post itself. Specifics (generating docs for commands, translation, whole-boat vibe-coded this app, etc) would be requested.

I will say that having disclosure and/or tagging would mean that comments that just say “slop” or “fuck ai” or whatever would be off topic at that point, that information is already provided, so its just noise (and sometimes pretty uncivil - I’ve been light on that for now due to the need for a rule on this).

The tag [AI] would make it easy to filter out (or search for, if that’s your thing), but there is a wildly different degree of AI use out there, and from the posts with a positive score, its usually due to responsible AI use (translations, a snippet they had to do something obscure with, available to use with AI but doesn’t require it, whatever), which is why I think the disclosure has a place as a benefit to everyone.

Please provide any input or alternative options on this, and I can then put it to a vote like the last one. Comments seem to be the best approach without involving something off-site, but if you have a better idea/option, please share.

    You’d be wrong.

    The fields aren’t all the same kinds of values, which requires relationship between the data to be evaluated for entry.

    You’re assuming this is transposing contents, which was not the issue. Your example is what was initially planned and halted before transitioning to the approach I helped deploy.

      That’s wrong, you didn’t know that there’s another if/else statement required by them. That’s what the supercomputer is for.

      That’s how you sound.

        So I’ll go back to my previous comment; you’re not actually interested in understanding the use, you have a pre-determined (and uninformed) view of use and operation, and providing that information as an example is “long-winded”.

        Ill be done with this discussion now. Enjoy your day.

          The difference is that each person didnt need to hunt across the form to find the details. When the comparison comes up for approval at each stage, they get the snippet being brought in and the field its being applied to.

          This is the only technical detail in the whole 500 word comment.
