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?
Exactly. So if it sounds like a turbo encabulator, why so we need a tag?
Because I’m sure some of them make reasonable souding projects, but I still don’t want to use them either way.
Tell me your project is trash at the outset, I’ll find out anyway by reading the code, you’re doing both of us a favour.
Tags don’t protect against that tho , if applied honestly. And humans aren’t immune from making human slop all on their own.
Spelunking the repo is 100% the answer if that’s the threat model.
The tag / no tag thing can only be part of the due diligence. I argue it (at best) is neutral to that end and at worst, completely flattens the reality of code gen in 2026. Nearly 100% of code gen now touches AI somewhere.
Turbo encabulator style announcement is a much louder and more useful signal, and we already get that for free. Tag may actually end up blunting that.
