Based on recent comments this feels like a discussion we should have. So…topic, basically.
I’m not looking to be chief noisemaker on this, but I stand by what I wrote in !privacy and what’s in my post history.

Let’s have at; do we want a [AI] and [NOT AI] tag. Why or why not?
Discrimination, that’s hilarious.
Okay, let’s say AI is as prevalent as you say it is. Make everyone disclose it, so that us so-called Luddites can see how ridiculous we are for trying to avoid it. And so that people who like AI software can more easily find it. Those people exist, right? Since AI is inevitable and all?
Oh you wanna snark?
Sure, let’s just tag everything then. 97% of projects tagged. (I cited 2 sources to back that number up btw and I resent your implication that I made it up out of whole cloth).
Boom - done. You wanted all AI touched projects tagged, wish granted.
Hey, let’s tag posts with [USES ELECTRICITY] too while we’re at it. That’ll be equally fucking useful.
People don’t want an [AI] tag. They want a [SLOP] tag. Guess what - they can’t have it.
Do you think slop merchants will tag their posts with [SLOP]? No?
Do you need a tag to detect slop code? No? Then what the fuck is the point of tagging anything?
[AI] and [SLOP] aren’t in the same universe, and a tag can’t distinguish them.
You’re going to have people honestly trying to disclose AI use, only to get heckled, because Lemmy is so delightfully unbiased on anything AI.
Brilliant - that will do wonders for engagement.
So the alternative is to tiptoe around and pretend you’re not using this amazing revolutionary technology that’s so great?
No one has to do that for any other technology. Wonder why.
