The Threads issue was not polarizing at all, almost everyone here was clearly on the side that Meta can fuck right off

AI on the other hand does have serious arguments on both sides. What would the resulting decisions even be?

It's tough to know where to stand when it comes to AI. I don't think anybody here is hoping that the fediverse be overrun with LLMs and bring about the dead internet theory.

A large part of why people join the fediverse (and the threadiverse, too) is to get away from corporatization, and AI is definitely part of that too.

I just don't think we need to go to extremes to ban AI-generated content, but more importantly, this is not a decision that can be made globally. It must be done (and enforced, however we do that) instance by instance.

I think that it is usefull to ban pure AI generated content created as main information, but allow as contrasted additional information or summary when correct with sources, which can be usefull in scientific documents or long texts. As said before, AI is here and is to us to use it (or not) as tool and with common sense.

Not federating with meta was a choice that could be made by the admins, just changing a setting in the instance. Slop can be posted to any instance by anyone with an account. If an admin decided to sign an anti-AI pact there's no way they could realistically abide / enforce it.
