AI and what to do with em

[Xenope]

While there have been some talk about dealing with it
I think we need some tags and forced marks on all the AI stuff people are uploading to the mod DB
be it code or just the "art"
people need a chance to simply black list.

I also think there should be ways to report anyone not listing or trying to hide it.
for now it is rather rampant and dumb.

- ways to label and filter out AI
- ways to report or flag if AI code is found but not listed.
- a clear warning before uploading that AI SHOULD be listed if the mod contains it.
or
- simply outright banning it from the mod DB

This already exists. Mod authors can tag their content with the AI tag, and users can choose to filter out AI content in their profile settings.

A report feature was recently added to the mod database, along with the filter feature. Users can choose the report threshold for how many reports a mod receives before it's filtered out from their search.

The problem with both of these is that there's no way to really enforce such a rule, without setting extremely strict guidelines on what constitutes "proper AI use" and getting very aggressive about checking everything. Getting that aggressive about the rules often drives users to third-party sites and can discourage others from learning to mod, as well as lead to unintended consequences(like banning mods that are clearly meant for a personal server and not public use).

I don't see an issue as long as a mod works as it's supposed to work. Plainly spoken I could care less if a human wrote it or AI did.
For art I understand it at least since it has copyright issues.
And quality is generally a problem, always.

But besides that as @LadyWYTmentioned it's not even feasable to do as what substitutes 'proper' usage isn't even remotely handled. AI is first and foremost a tool, I don't expect every carpenter to provide a warning label of 'this was made partially with a CNC machine' either.

And I repeat, in relation to art since it's a copyright issue there overall still (and even that can be argued about to a surprisingly large degree as the whole topic is a huge rabbit hole of slippery slopes and risky argumentation opening the pathway for absolutely destroying human-based iteration as well) it's at least acceptable to have a disclaimer.
Anything beyond a disclaimer is just beyond reason for the moment until lawmaking overhauls the decades-long ignored issues everyone in the field knew were coming but never bothered with it before it was far too late.
