That way a certain subset of members could just drive-by downvote without getting themselves dirty.

Honestly. I was fully on board with this until you brought that up. Yea that just 180'd my opinion on if it should be tagged significantly.

I don't want something to be tagged to be able to allow people to mass downvote it or hide it from sight, that's not productive to anyone. I wanted the tag to be able to filter it out when I didn't want to see it, but be able to see it if I felt I wanted to. Allowing for mass downvote on it will significantly hinder that.

    I commiserate, but they are going to get downvoted one way or another

    Yea but a tag system will allow it to be seen from outside the community. a general requirement in the body of the post of disclosing if AI was used and how I think would go a long way better in the long run, and requires the person to have entered the post and read it first.

    I think I'm leaning more towards that style instead. if something interests me I can join it read it and if its AI and I don't want to see it I can go elsewhere, that requires people to put bare amount of effort instead of just seeing a [AI] tag from all[/active/hot] (idk what the actual lemmy endpoint is I use tess) and being like "oh ai downvote"

    I get what you are saying. The downvoting doesn't bother me a bit. You can downvote me in to the stone age and I wouldn't give a shit. The curb stomping, anger, and animosity directed at anything AI tho, I think is out of hand. Every forum I've ever been in has a Rule 1. Few live up to that creed. I don't say this from any moral high ground or superiority whatsoever, but I find it a character flaw not to be able to control yourself as an adult and think 'Yeah I'm staunchly anti-AI. I have very, very strong opinions of it's usage in any circumstance. However, there are 8.4 billion other people who might not share my disgust with AI so I'll just skip on to the next thread.' Agree to disagree in other words.
