A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
This is literally how all of law, terms, regulations, and moderation work. The collective or defining party defines a set of rules.
The rules obviously don't prevent lying or ignoring the rules, but they set the baseline to moderate and act with. Without the rule, Bandcamp would not remove such content, and people could not reclaim their money, and nobody could sue the publishers.
They're lying about the rule itself to justify more lies
They know they can't reliably distinguish AI from non-AI by the individual piece of content, and they're pretending otherwise so they can silence actual humans and let chat bots propagate while labeling them as human or AI
