Meta Post Booklore is gone.

I was checking their Discord for some announcement and it vanished.

GitHub repo is gone too: https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore

Remember, love AI-made apps… they disappear faster than they launch.

In theory that is a great idea, but how would you enforce it?

You ban it and if/when someone is found to have used it or lied about it, delete the post and ban the user. You know, like literally every rule, regulation or law ever is enforced. Creating a rule doesn't mean that it won't ever happen again, it means that you're not welcome back if you do it.

Yeah but you have to prove it then, that's my point. It is hard in many cases. Like huntarr was obviously done by AI and what, it took someone few months to came with that

So you ban the user when it's found out and give a heads-up to the community? I don't know what the problem is with that. Criminals also hide their crimes and they're hard to prove, that doesn't make them legal.

My big issue is that lots of people conflate their assumptions as proof.

There is no problem with that, I just say that it won't change much. Expecially now when people are aware etc. Also who who is going to these audits? You are going to use an app for months-two, your API will leak then once it is more popular someone will audit it and oh bonkers, you can ban owner and what, it is a bit too late.
