TLDR: Community feedback requested about potential new rules around AI and clickbait due to post reports

Lately, there have been a few reports of content being AI generated, but there currently aren't any rules against this. I would like to know how people would feel about the following rules against (low effort) AI generated content:

  1. No fully AI-generated videos or misleading AI-generated videos.
  2. Videos that are entirely created by AI are not allowed.
  3. Do not present AI-generated characters, voices, or scenes as if they were human-created without disclosure.

Another point that has been mentioned in reports is clickbait. There is currently a “rule” against this (Rule 6: “Avoid clickbait titles. (Tip: Use dearrow)”), but it's not very specific / strict and doesn't take video thumbnails into account. A recent report complained about a thumbnail with pointless arrows pointing to a woman with large boobs (which was obviously there for engagement and had seemingly little to do with the video). I'm personally in favor of getting rid of this stuff, but didn't know how everyone else felt about it and how strictly people want these things to be enforced. I therefore have 3 questions:

  1. Should the “avoid clickbait” “rule” / advice be turned into a stricter “no clickbait” rule? Or is it fine how it is now? Or should we stop asking people to editorialize titles?
  2. Should no “clickbait” thumbnails be enforced?
  3. Currently, I just ask people to change their titles. Should there be a consequence, e.g: removal of post after X hours without it being changed? Should that only be reserved for thumbnails?

Feel free to bring up other proposals.

Topical twist at the end (no spoilers) but generally one of Epic Rap Battles' best, IMO.

Helldivers 2. Fast Recon Vehicle. And just tons and tons of sheer chaos.

I don't know how often this gets shared these days, but if one person hasn't heard it yet, it's worth posting again.

Pure internet distillation.

“It was so long ago, get over it.”

Here is Cecil Williams, civil rights activist known for going across the south and taking photos of him using racist, clearly segregated spaces with intent in 1956. This video is of him walking a fashion catwalk at NYFashion week wearing a hoodie that features the photo that inspired a nation. He is 87 years young. This makes me very very very very happy to watch.
