MODERATORS
If you decide on a ban, it needs to be clear what specifically is being targeted and banned, not a general "AI slop". Not only because AI is used in so many places that it's that obvious, but at this point AI creations have become very good at looking or sounding like the real thing. There's still some tells, but they shouldn't be counted on as a guarantee something is AI and ban-worthy. Basically don't let the need or desire to shut out artificially generated things catch humans in the crossfire. For a mod, trying to filter out the "bad", trying to figure out what IS "bad", it's a very tough job and not something that can probably easily be automated (ironic, not being able to use bots to remove the AI).
