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 wonโ€™t block AI art communities on other instances or sanction our users for posting on them.

For images, text can be inconsistent and different parts of the image that would make sense to be copied would be unique

On the cryptography forum(s) I run my rule is that all use of LLM/AI must be declared, including the prompt.

Wouldn't mind banning it completely, but I think it's better to not discourage people who are genuinely trying to learn, while getting an opportunity to show them where LLM will go wrong.

If the point about teaching doesn't apply to your forum (like one about memes), I don't see the usefulness of a disclosure rule and thus you might as well ban it completely.

For this community specifically I somewhat answered your question in this comment chain.

TLDR: we won't probably always know. We trust that this rule is a clear guideline and hope people read rules before posting.

If you can't tell; does it matter? I imagine the rule is there to filter out noise.
