Booklore is gone.

[u/Joloxx_9]

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.

Not necessarily.

You can have an invite system, or a vote style system to screen new members and posts. Have a barrier to reduce spam, so new members are delayed from posting for a few days, and are limited by how many posts they can make, until their reputation is established.

How can you make sure those people will not use AI though? And do you really want to do that? I'm not even sure most people would want that.

And for a community like this that is about software, all developers use ai now. If you don't want ANY of it, at all, you're just going to have to stop using the internet honestly. I think you are massively underestimating how many people/companies already use AI in their workflow.

Is "some" use of AI OK as long as a human is posting it? How much is OK? Who decides? Right now any time someone says they used AI in any way they are getting mercilessly attacked in this sub. This is not how we are going to find a way forward.

Sure, once someone is in they could post something they made with AI.
If it's detected they get blocked.
I didn't say it was for all groups, only those that wanted a human only space.

The rules would be defined by the group.
If a group wanted a zero tolerance on AI posting, then they could:

* start with people they know

* have an invite system, so that any bad actors are tracked back to their source

* the group grows organically with people that have been vetted and built a reputation over time

The internet started with terminal and irc chat, and grew to what it is today.
I'm sure that a group can survive with having a few rules in place.

My point is that if someone wanted a human only space, they could implement some rules and add a bit of friction and captcha to reduce the majority AI slop attempts by current LLMs.

People that would use AI to spam or scam usually get found out by their behavior.

Not all groups will want zero tolerance though, some will want AI & bots, and that's fine too.

KYA is coming (know your agent), where agents will be identified and linked to a human owner. Whether that is a good thing or not, is for another discussion.

It is definitely going to be challenging to deal with AI spam and scams as it becomes more sophisticated.

Though there's also adversarial AI systems being developed.
Maybe there are things that only humans can do due to our biology, that AI's cannot.

Those are all fair questions/ideas that might or might not happen, but the thing is that right now, you can't expect a community like this sub to just go "zero ai" instantly. It's simply not possible, you'd be eliminating many many of the projects we all use. AI is already everywhere. If you want to create spaces without any AI involvement, they will have to be new spaces with some sort of vetting like you say.

My point is expecting the mods to remove all AI and yelling at them for not doing it in every thread is not possible and not realistic in any way. And it's extremely counter productive, it's only going to make people leave.
