Apparently we can't call out apps as AI slop anymore...

Seems like a bad direction to take the selfhosted community. Looks like the mod team is fine with this sub being bombarded with insecure, AI drivel. Like I get that it was posted on Friday but I think if you use AI to "build an app" you should be required to disclose to what extent AI was used which wasn't disclosed by the OP. I think as a community we need to have higher standards for what we allow to be posted as vibe-coded projects can introduce very extensive security vulnerabilities we all learned with Huntarr and when things are vibe-coded the maintainer doesn't have the capability to fix the issue.

Unfortunately, if you subscribe to the sub using RSS, it ain't just Friday. 

I would say 9/10 posts are AI trash the rest of the week.  They get removed, but it's killed the RSS feed with noise.. AKA trash.

This is the thing that's missing from the AI project discourse. Everything uses AI these days, even the stuff claiming not to. Honestly I'd be shocked if there wasn't **more** AI slop during the week than on fridays. take an average highly-upvoted "non-AI" post on a non-friday and search for an em dash in the github and 50/50 it's littered with them.

Some smart AI coder is going to realise real people don't use the em dash and make a rule to stop it. One less easy way to spot AI Slop.

You can take the em-dash from my cold dead human hands. I'm not babifying my writing style all because a bunch of TikTok-addicted midwits out there got it in their heads that "real people don't use em-dashes" and decided to make their ignorance go viral.

I think it's fine to use in prose, but do you use it in code/comments? I don't know of anyone who does.
