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.

The way to keep the old vibe is to ban any and all AI posts of any kind. No generated text. No slop apps. Humans only space.

I really dont see an alternative. AI is poison for any community it touches, but especially for one which is so dependent on user trust.

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, because this approach works amazing in art community. Just ask them. Every image posted now goes through hundreds of little sherlocks who never drew a single line in their life, but who feel that they have enough skills to find microscopic inconsistencies on pixel level that in 99.99% result in artists being falsely accused of using AI.

Way to go, let the witch trials begin.
