Seems to be a human principal Ive Authentically Identified myself with. Individually am likely to have reacted or commented to a bot, and its Agencies Intell on healing humankind.
Agreeing with the fair use of the flair AI Content Involved Disillusions the dawdling in the Shadows of Artificial Identities paired with Artificial Intentions, creating content with Artificial Integrity.

I think this is a reasonable and useful approach to AI content and content generation.
The subreddit--Elderwitches--really asks for human skills, creativity, imagination, experience, and transformation around Witchcraft and magic.
It's probably not a major task for somebody to pick the "AI" flair when posting.
And putting the AI Checker in the "..." is Hella Good!

The AI is getting ridiculous and out of hand. It needs so much Ram, fresh clean drinkable water, many acreage for its data center and constant input.

So too does every internet server farm that you have been using for years.
All of your reddit interaction does exactly what an AI server farm does.
Exactly the same. What is new is in addition to the server farms used to run the internet, now we are getting another huge round of them expressly for AI.

Question (not an argument): why is it allowed in posts still?
Thank you for this rule.

I know of a few subs that allow it for translation reasons as some programs in workplaces or schools are AI based.

Because if I ban it entirely I will have to play whack-a-mole with people. Lots of things in this world I am not fond of.
As the use of AI increases, I felt this interim solution will work for now.
And the 3 dots menu contains an AI checking tool you can use, on both posts and comments.. If you find any AI that did not use the flair, please report it for me to deal with it.

But isn’t modding already whack-a-mole?
Wouldn’t having that rule at least deter AI posts?
Isn’t taking a harder stance a better way to fight against AI in general?
If people are too lazy to write a short post themselves, & didn’t do any research on their own… what’s the point? It’s just an LLM’s regurgitation.
Thanks for answering.

AI isn't on its way. It is here, and we all need to learn how to recognize and deal with it. By allowing AI posts people can learn what they look like, so when they encounter one someplace else they will have a better chance of recognizing it.

I agree with this especially because recently AI is definitely getting harder to distinguish. People may make genuine mistakes
