Aneurysm Posting

cross-posted from: https://piefed.ca/post/271083

A vote was held to decide a frequently debated idea in the comments. To ban or to allow AI content on this community as some saw AI posts as cheating. An aneurysm is a truly human experience they said. (Or didn't idk, wasnt listening, was having an aneurysm at that point).

Now the votes are in:

• Ban AI: 17 votes
• Allow AI: 12 votes
• Tag AI (late entry): 41 votes

Tagging AI posts wins by a landslide despite the late inclusion.

From now on, AI-generated posts must be tagged accordingly. This helps everyone know whether they’re reading the words of a toasted meatbag or a malfunctioning clanker.

The new rule will be added to the sidebar, and if you forget to tag your post, a kind community member (or me) will nudge you to do so.

Thank you all for voting. The original post has now been locked.

Folks this is frequently debated in the comments and so today we decide democratically whether we add a new rule.

Do we allow AI aneurysms.

Reasons to ban: It's AI.

Reasons not to ban: It's funny.

I know I've made very long lists of reasons there but please take a moment to read them all.

To decide upvote one of the 2 comments I leave in this post. I will be looking at the upvotes for the decision not the net votes, as that allows double voting.

I will leave the post unlocked just incase someone wishes to add anything to the conversation.

I will keep the vote going for a week just to be safe. This community has nearly 3k subscribers and I know many won't see it for a while. (Btw incredible growth in this community!)

A classic and personal favorite. No political statement intended.
