We've updated the rules of our flagship server mastodon.social today. Most are the same with some clarifications, but one rule is new: Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated.

How will you know if the content is #AI generated or not? 🤔
Is it THAT obvious or do you have "tools" to use that will ID them?

I get the need for similar rules but fear for a lot of false reports and people bugging their fellow donners to no end about images without sources, just for funsies.

And yet I wonder how that'll even be enforced, since there's no reliable way to automatically detect these 😕

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •obviously a joke :) and a hint on that many "newspaper websites" no longer write the articles themselves and instead let AI generate the content...
But to be honest. I don't need such "news" here so it would be fine for me if they are getting blocked. I can still see some potential "problems" about this in the future.

Someone posts a meme /gif/or clip of Meryl Streep at an awards show, just as a claque bot might. As I just saw in the replies here.
Perhaps the alt text is chock full of attributions.
Will that be considered ‘content created by others, needing full attribution’, or, fair use?

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •"Mastodon social media is decentralized in such a way that no central governing party implements rules and regulations. Instead, it allows communities to self-govern."
it seems a little against what mastodon was about.
It's one thing for unique artwork, but things like posting pictures of objects to describe something will be a pain in the ...
How do we also define AI content? Untouched by a human, 10% to 90% changed by a human after generating?
What next.... Community notes?
Oleg Shanyuk
in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •marking AI content is a good start. Happens, some researchers publish only results of their work, which can be interesting, yet, violates the statement of tolerance. Perhaps, it’s okay to let people decide what they want to follow?
Or im missing a good context behind the statement?

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •The actual details of these rules seem ill thought out and short sighted.
And some, like the AI rules just out right wrong.
(Given a separate rule explicitly allows bot accounts and all modern bots from this point forward will most likely be using LLMs to generate the final text to the end user)
Unfortunately mastodon.social basically IS Mastodon for most people so these rules will have an outsized effect.

Transphobic behavior such as intentional misgendering and deadnaming is strictly prohibited. Promotion of "conversion therapy" is strictly prohibited.) https://mastodon.social/@glaad/112128406996833550

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •I don't quite understand why it is one rule, not two separate ones.
1) "Content created by others must be attributed" - makes sense.
2) "Use of AI must be disclosed" - well, many people are tired of the #AIart flood, so, okay, maybe makes sense too.
But these are two unrelated rules to me. Putting them together only creates confusion.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •"Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated."
What exactly is such a profile? One whose every single post is an AI image without any comments? Or pretty much any account that specializes on #AIart, and to what degree of AI usage?
