Banning AI is stupid and settled science - ban gravity, debt, the sun, electricity.

Ban slop.

Or better yet, don't "ban" anything - judge it like any low-effort crap.

I think I agree with you, but the effort to "judge it like any low-effort crap" is now beyond anything I can muster. I think when people say "ban" the often mean filter with such an aggressive heuristic that I never see it, which IS one way to judge...

It’s fine to ban if everyone involved wants to.

IMO just make categories for AI use and not. The hard part is that people will cheat.

It would be kind of like having a traditional woodworking contest and people show up with stuff made with power tools and cnc routers.
