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.

      Yeah but that’s self-reported, the user has to set it on themselves.

      Nothing prevents bad faith bots from just not setting it

        That’s terribly unsettling. I always assumed it was an automatic tag for some dumb reason. The amount of people commenting on bot posts and replying to them like they’re real is already surprisingly high enough WITH the icon.

        Thanks for the heads up. Suppose we really can’t have anything nice.

      This is exactly the problem I mentioned, in that it’s giving people a false sense of security. There are bots posting without that symbol all the time.
