There's two axes here: Quality-Slop, Human-AI. Q1: Quality Content (No AI) Q2: Quality Content (AI) Q3: Slop (No AI) Q4: Slop (AI) More of a spectrum, really, since most posts will in the middle of the quality axis, and most code makes some use of AI now (without being slop). I think the problem with Q2 is that when you do it right, it passes. You think you're looking at Q1. It's like the requirement for good AI is to be indistinguishable from human work. (As soon as I see a ChatGPT-ism, I recoil, even if the article was good!) Not sure how relevant the Q3/Q4 distinction is, but obviously banning AI completely would eliminate most of the Slop end of the axis too. I think we'll either see a polaization where some communities become explicitly pro-AI or anti-AI, or perhaps a "hide all AI" toggle and mandatory disclosure (basically unenforceable, except for egregious slop).
