In PieFed v1.4 it will be possible to label posts as having AI generated content. Labelled posts will get a little badge near their title, similar to how nsfw and nsfl content is labelled. Mods and authors can change this value on a post in the same way they do flair and nsfw, using the little tags button in the bottom right or in ‘More options’ when editing their post.
Account settings for blocking:
Similar to how NSFW works, each user can control how those posts are listed on the home page, etc. The default is ‘Label as AI’, which just adds the badge. People averse to AI-generated content might want to change this to ‘Hide completely’.
Also similar to NSFW, entire communities can be assigned as ‘AI content’ and that will auto-tag every post inside as being AI generated. If the community mods have this value unset (e.g. Lemmy communities, which don’t have this functionality) then the instance admin can manually override the community’s AI Generated setting.
Even more, I’d like to see some technically correct term, instead of the “AI” buzzword that the companies are forcing with their marketing
(it’s not intelligent, it’s just a token generator/predictor, similar to your phone’s autocomplete feature, just more advanced and trained with everything in the world)
Unfortunately I’m not an expert, but maybe something along the lines of “Deep Learning”, “Neural Networks”, “Generative Networks”, “Generative technology”, etc
GenAI stands for Generative AI, which I think is descriptive enough
I think the issue is that it’s not that much generative nor intelligent
Names the problem without relying on their marketing
But 😅 my point is mainly about using a correct technical term, instead of the forced marketing buzzword “AI”
