Thank you for bringing this up for discussion! @taepo518
I agree with the consensus here – AI-generated content is not welcome. Like most of you, I too am exhausted from reading AI slop and would like to preserve LH as a place for genuine human interactions.
In response to @jeisensc’s excellent summary of the current state of AI participation:
AI bot account/content is currently handled as spam. AI bot accounts are suspended by moderators when flagged.
We just created a new flag called “AI Slop” to discourage users from copying and pasting AI writing. Posts that are flagged by multiple members will be automatically hidden.
Are you referring to humans citing AI search results as you mentioned later in the post? I personally don’t mind citing AI results if it’s productive, but will minimize pasting AI search results myself because of AI fatigue. There is a difference between using AI as a tool and letting it stand in for real human conversation, which this forum is built for.
On that note, we added our policy on AI-generated content in our Community Standards and Moderation Guidelines.
Thank you all for the thoughtful discussion. It’s a good reminder that the quality of this community isn’t accidental. It takes all of us to actively shape and preserve the culture of this community. Here’s to keeping LH human in 2026!
