MODERATORS
Another way that allowing it could lead to it being the only thing posted is that its presence could easily scare off genuine, non-scam creators. "AI" overwhelming the open Web isn't just a matter of the volume of generated content; it's also that the presence of it has prompted people who actually make things to retreat into places that require logins or membership on the assumption that these are "safe" from scraping (which isn't always true).
if it drowns out everything else, it means that it's being upvoted. if it's being upvoted, then it means the community likes it. I see no issue with a preponderance of content coming from a single tool when the community is ultimately capable of moderating it just like any other content. why should I not be allowed to upvote something that I like because it came from AI, just because other people have a moral objection to it? I respect their right to object, but I don't think they should be able to force those values onto me. if that is their goal, then they need to articulate an issue and be persuasive, not make rules in communities in which I'm a participant.
> if it’s being uploaded, then it means the community likes it
That really isn't how the Internet works at all. Someone uploading something just means that that person likes it. It's not like they're uploading based on the collective psychic demands of the rest of the community.
thanks; that was a typo. I have edited it to upvoted, which is what I intended.
