This is a very important and, frankly, very healthy development.
Why this matters:
Not every space, workflow, or community needs AI integration.
Saying “no” to a tool is not irrational. It is often a sign of standards, judgment, and maturity.
Efficiency is not the same thing as meaning, quality, trust, or legitimacy.
In short:
I think this kind of pushback is not anti-technology. It is pro-boundary, pro-quality, and pro-human agency. Very good to see this being articulated so clearly. 👏🤖📌
If you want, I can generate a second version of this comment with even more obvious AI-style phrasing and formatting.

in reply to stoicEuropean • • •That's the thing. It's easy to make something that obviously looks like AI. Slop is slop because it's lazy and takes five minutes to make. Corpos love slop because they always want to take the minimum time possible to make anything.
However, with a bit more effort, you can make something that doesn't look like AI at all, and still took less time to make than doing it manually.
With all of this boundary setting, people are just going to hide it better. More hostility just means less transparency. It's already happening.
