I think anything over the “assisted” threshold in the OP is low effort and should be dumped.

Sounds like too many rules to me. I’d recommend a “no low effort ai” rule.
Also, AIT is regularly used to abbreviate AI Tool

Vibecoded spam is deliberately engineered to look “high effort,” so even with the vagueness of such a rule, it wouldn’t cover the spam so well.

How would the proposed rules help? Isnt spam already covered regardless of AI?
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Because, with a cursory glance, it doesn’t always look like spam.
A classic example I see starts with “I built a…” in the title, has a wall of text in the description, and actually promises to do something interesting. Only upon deeply inspecting the code (or trying it yourself)… it becomes clear it’s hallucinated nonsense.
And it’s not always malicious, either. A lot of devs get deep in AI psychosis as truly believe there building something revolutionary with their vibe coding agent.
And sometimes these projects are interesting!
Hence it would be EXTREMELY helpful to have this tagged, up front. To me, an [AIP] is gigantic red flag to warrant extra caution, but not necessarily a smoking gun, and would help “regular” homebuilt projects stand out from the vibecoded ones.
And [AIT] is just nice to have. Some users don’t want to see any AI in /c/selfhosted, period. It gets reported as spam because people interpret it as that, and this gives would prevent that while giving those users a way to easily filter them out.

I wish the mods best of luck with implementing and enforcing this.
AI generally doesn’t need a lot of special handling when it comes to policies. It’s like any other tool, it’s just made it a lot easier for people that don’t know how to code get something made.
If anything, it might be easier for people to tag their level of experience.

The only ones with extra effort will be promo posts, and this disclosure is regularly requested of them anyway.
You’d also need to define “low effort ai”.
I don’t see that working, sorry.

Asking people to tag AI, and also have a few different AI tags, and also read more than 3 sentences…mods are going to be busy enforcing the rules.

That would be me, yes. And considering what I already get reports on, this makes for clear practice and would overall reduce the issues that are currently out there.

Normally I’d agree, but the tagging rule won’t affect the majority of posts. I think it’s an acceptable complication, in this case.
Especially with how much vibecoded spam is in the horizon.
