Not looking to debate or stir up anything. But, I will say despite anyone’s thoughts the anti-meta fedi pact at least allowed people to have some information on where instances and people stood on federation with Threads. Some decisions were able to be made based on that information. I think if it doesn’t exist there should be one also regarding AI, which is a polarizing topic especially on fedi. I believe similar to the Threads issue it would allow people to make somewhat informed decisions one way or the other. Are there current lists, sites dedicated to this? If not what are you guys thoughts?

The main problem is that there's no such things as "AI". It doesn't exist.

If you're talking about generated media, then I think it's still a vague and unenforceable category. For example, when does using an image filter turn into "generated media"? But at least it would be more accurate and specific.

what's the difference between pyrite and gold? there's a gold rush. everyone is going crazy over gold. gold is made of metal, shiny, has a yellow tint, very heavy, very expensive, and people are going insane over the prospect of getting some. need i say more?
"generative ai". it's a strikingly precise category that everyone knows the exact meaning of. a large neural network made by training on a large dataset, used for generation. just because adding a grain does not change if something is a heap, does not mean that you can't remove the giant mounds people are making.
