The problem I have with this is it's the pornography argument. You know it's slop when you see it.

  • Brand new account
  • No 'about us' on the project website with any details about the devs, and the entire website feels like a template, at least created by if not wholly done by AI.
  • Asking for donations in cryptocurrency. I actually have no problem with this, but its the part of the pattern. I dont want my e.g. VPN management tool code provided by someone who needs to be anonymous even in their project donations.
  • Using MIT license to me means the product could (and probably would) turn commercial at any moment if it finds success. Yes these projects are free to start, but there could be a huge cost in terms of migration need down the road, if the developer alters the deal.
  • Many projects (albeit not this one yet) respond to questions about whether they are using AI to reply with 'of course, English is not our first language'. To me thats just too easy to hide behind and I'm tired of seeing it. English is also not an AIs fist language.
  • And of course as soon as you enumerate what makes it slop, they will train the AIs to make it harder to detect. It feels like such a losing battle.

I appreciate rule 7 being updated, but time will tell if all slop projects just learn to wriggle around these rules. It just leaves a bad taste. I've started losing trust in any project I find on here, especially when its posted in the above manner.

This is why there is a new discussion incoming for this - we're kind of threading the needle here to find the right fit. Previously this wasn't an issue because everything (including a bunch of entirely valid posts) was getting removed by the prior mod under rule 3, which caused a whole other problem (and led to me modding - which is your latest problem! :) )

AI disclosure discussion will be up over the weekend for community comment/discussion/planning.
