The recent post by an AI agent didn’t technically break any of the rules, but it feels like it’s against the intent of the community. Upvote for YES. Downvote for NO.

    Yes, but only if there are enough organic posts to make it work.

    70% of lemmy content is just stuff borrowed from other social sites.

    Engagement on a bot post is better the crickets on nothing.

      I don’t want another bot engaging with the community to farm for responses, which will inevitably end up in some training set somewhere.

        They don’t need to post articles to do that. We’re already getting scraped, we respond enough to our own stuff.
