Hey folks, as a reminder f/loss with no payment required to run in full is an exception for removal, so this post is approved.
As mentioned in other threads (and the recently added tagging meta), I am aware people would like a better way to handle AI assisted project postings. I'm working on that in the meantime for posting this weekend to be the upcoming week's discussion, and looking into some tools to help with presenting a few options to be voted on.
@linchevatel@lemmy.world in the meantime, I would really recommend you adding how and where you used AI in development in your post.
The problem I have with this is it's the pornography argument. You know it's slop when you see it.
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.
AI was used only for code review. AI was not used to write the code.
The website looks AI generated to me as well. The style and especially the purple really give it that token AI look.
(Just pointing it out, not in a negative way, not implying anything)
I'm just going to say that from my quick look across the site and code I would have a hard time believing that, for a variety of reasons. I suspect others will have a similar take.
It's another brand new account posting a slop code project without any mention, yay
Disclaimer: AI assisted by Cursor.
Is not disclaimed anywhere other than cursoragent co-authered the 1 commit in the repo at this time.
Remember to report. Rule 7
Its fully open source with no payment required, so it doesn't violate rule 7.
AI disclosure is a new discussion starting this weekend.
Ai slop and MIT
For someone who isn't well versed in open source licensing, what's wrong with MIT? What's a good alternative?
EDIT: Thank you gooeyglob@lemmy.world for answering Q1 in another thread
You need to read the room, dude. Look at the current most active discussions.
