MODERATORS
 

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.

"AI" doesn't have a mind of its own to formulate am "objective" opinion, it just regurgitates whatever it's being fed, and what it's being fed is our biases.

It objectively states a summary of all of our combined biases. Which is valuable.

What else are you going to do? Humans are always going to search for information that supports their own bias.

AI forces them to read through bullet points that go against their own bias. It lowers the effect of polarisation if this is done on large scale.

it objectively

nope, it doesn't have a way of telling what's objective and what isn't.

Which is valuable.

nope
