One thing I've taken away from some of these things is that a lot of communities say "well we can't ban genAI contributions, because you never really know", and maybe you won't for some, though you might for a lot, but for sure some will slip through
But also what we are seeing is that vibecoders / slop artists will absolutely take their ball and leave in a huff if you say it isn't welcome here
Sometimes they'll even start a completely separate thing for them
And great! Go do it.
But yeah, placing rules of such things do work. And it does help preserve communities.
@cwebber i see this kind of thing as people being overly afraid of judging others wrongly
we are used to justice systems that are obsessed with due process and moral neutrality and objectivity (for a good reason -- being wrongly fined, imprisoned or executed is a really bad thing) and want to do the same, but don't realize that, in a small environment with low costs of participation, especially online, this just makes things easier for trolls who know how to stay just outside of the boundaries of illegality
