Since some governments have plans to enforce labels for AI-generated content (text/image/video/audio) on social platforms, should we consider server wide rules for AI generated content (in non-AI communities)?

Or should AI generated content rather be only posted in AI communities?

The thing is, AI Image generation becomes more and more realistic, so I think at some point people can’t be stopped to post it in other communities as well. Also for having efficient filtering on it later, it might be useful to have a clear AI-Label (e.g. [AI] in the title) in place.

    I agree with the idea of mandatory tagging of all AI content even in AI only communities, seems like the best way to ensure people immediately know as well as have the option to filter it out (not sure if that’s a possibility yet with tools though).

    Also it would be good to have that as an instance-wide rule too imo so that people who seem to make a habit of not labeling AI content can face consequences and be held accountable, in order to make potential trickery/scams etc harder to pull, because there’s certainly going to be people who will try to somehow profit by trying to pass off AI-generated content as real, as is already happening on many other platforms (and I don’t just mean financial profit, because it can be a type of more indirect profit to gather followers and engagement on that basis).

    I am not a moderator myself (yet), just a content creator/poster that feels strongly about this topic, so I hope it’s okay for me to chime in with my perspective since I think this is a valuable conversation to be had.

    It would also really suck for OC creators to be discouraged from posting because unlabeled AI content may be getting more engagement than their real posts, so that’s also something that needs to be considered.
