A while ago we had a post with a comic that was a bit controversial due to it being generated by genAI, but we did not explicitly have a rule against it.
We wanted to discuss this and ask the community, but this apparently had already been a topic on feddit.uk for awhile and they have made a instance rule about it (announced in this post).
Since buyeuropean community is on feddit.uk, the feddit.uk rules apply to this community and therefore I wanted to announce this new rule so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
Copy of the post body text from the announcement of this rule on feddit.uk:
So no:
- AI generated memes of images
- AI generated answers to questions
edit: this applies to feddit.uk communities, we won’t block AI art communities on other instances or sanction our users for posting on them.
@huppakee@lemm.ee already gave the perfect answer in a reply to you, but in general some content is just clearly AI generated and we didn’t have a rule about that before.
I’m not going to be trigger happy and label every suspected post as genAI and I don’t have enough resources to check. This is mostly to give people posting here guidelines as to what is acceptable.
The post that triggered this discussion in this community was not hiding the fact that it was AI and also OP wasn’t acting in bad faith - they even stated that “the posting rules didn’t prohibit AI content”, which is fair enough.
