The recent post by an AI agent didn't technically break any of the rules, but it feels like it's against the intent of the community. Upvote for YES. Downvote for NO.

There is AI detection software. But maybe it would be expensive to run on every post. You could have a popularity threshold for it to run. No AI text can ever get popular, so there is less incentive to try.

But nuisance AI posts could still happen. Let's be real. They will.

Maybe we need some kind of bot that labels bots. Then people can upvote and down vote as they please.

    AI detection software is just another AI. At best, it's in an arms race that has a ceiling on what is detectable (though debatable if LLMs can reach that ceiling), at worst it outputs slop just like the LLMs it "detects".
