Can we also add “Don’t complain about AI-generated content. It does not promote interesting discussion.”?

I see this all the time, and even if I find the topic interesting, I don’t want to see comments littered with discussion about how the content was AI generated.

To be clear, I'm not condoning AI-generated content. I’m completely fine if the community chooses to not upvote AI-generated content, or flagging it off the FP.

But many threads can turn into nothing but AI complaints, and it’s just not interesting.

From my experience, it usually happens when people are too brazen about it, with boring stuff like "Interesting! Now here's what Gemini said about the above..". IMHO that is an entirely adequate reaction.

I’m mostly referring to responding to the article itself (allegedly) being AI-written. Then the top half of the thread is derailed by a discussion about the article itself being AI-written.

Now instead of derailing the convo with a complaint, you can just flag it.
