Indeed. Take a soft approach, or "wait and see", and you'll just allow your community to get infested with slop enthusiast crybullies that loudly protest any pushback against "genai content". The communities that draw a firm line and hold it will be the only ones that endure.

It was a surprise to us how vehemently some folk defended AI content and assumed it was their right to post it within our community.

We had no problems with people using it and posting elsewhere, it was the demands that we must allow it that were problematic and made us question whether we were doing the right thing.

No regrets now, though, as we see competitors being flooded with AI slop and they are too invested in it to change now.

Now I see it as the perfect tool for impostors.
