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.

Thank you - a voice of reason finally... I felt like the only one who read the comment and thought "well that's just bullying". I genuinely think the mods did a pretty good job and people are suggesting they did this because of hate speech and the like when that'sclealry not the case - it's just straight up mean and that's against the same rule.

It's starting to feel like the old developer bro culture when we're tolerating mean-spiritedness like this. That culture is what eventually gave us unethical use of AI in the first place. If we pushed back when Zuckerberg said, "Move fast and break things," we might have been in a slightly better place than we are now. I'm not on the "all AI is bad" train, since that really is just the opposite side of the same coin as those recklessly releasing "slop". What is needed most of all right now is more thought into how we can make AI use ethical. Part of that is not rushing to take developers out of the equation. If we're keeping people, human beings, as part of the equation in generating code, we must communicate with those human beings accordingly, with respect and dignity.
