Why do you think the kind of obnoxious cunt who uses an LLM to spam a Linux mailing list would voluntarily use another? AI-bros, as a rule, do not respect others.
Maybe use idea from PGP/GPG which is web of trust where people are added based on others vouching for them.
To make it somewhat available others can join as well but for a fee and at the lowest level. The fee would be determined on amount of cunts.
If somebody would not follow rules they would be marked as not trusted but money wouldn't be refunded they would have to pay again.
The money could be used as donations to fund the project.
If there's somebody who couldn't afford those fees, they could still find someone who could vouch for them and bypass it.
Maybe force it some way, I don't know. Find a backend software solution. Figure a way to programmatically identify when AI was used and automatically route it somewhere else? Or force them to fill out a dropdown menu saying whether AI was used or not?
You're telling me the Linux Foundation can't engineer a viable software solution?
If it were that easy, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Education wouldn’t be under attack, social media wouldn’t be flooded with bots. LLM detection is incredibly unreliable and anyone saying they’ve cracked it is selling snake oil. There are techniques for image diffusion that are holding up currently but text is another story.
Checking a checkbox again relies on these chucklefucks being honest and decent and respectful people which they fundamentally aren’t.
