Hexbear as a whole unfortunately does not have a principled stance on this. Many users do reject GenAI, it will most likely have at least a simple majority if not more, but it is not the party line so to speak. I would welcome a change, but the resulting struggle session and implementing a ban on slop will be fairly painful.
Its fine for Hexbear to have a lets say "offical" partyline but I dont think it makes sense for Hexbear to enforce every single issue.
Like for example Microsoft is a bad company . We "should" boycott it. Use Linux instead.... I use Linux.
But I assume that 40-60 percent of Hexbear (or more) still uses a Microsoft OS.
I dont think such a degree of purity is necessary . We are not a revolutionary organization nor party
there should not be a hexbear orthodoxy, but if it needs to exist, i will be its high pontiff and excommunicate all of you as heretical libs using my six foot tall ushanka.
It would be painful because the "simple majority" would be reciting talking points that are 3 years outdated, as they are in this thread. Hopefully any ban would have the input of someone who has some understanding of genAI and isn't just a kneejerker before it's implemented.
And what would a ban even be? You can't post genAI here? Is anyone doing that right now? Or are you going to advocate for banning people you suspect have ever used genAI - because good luck lmao
idgaf that it has less fingers than 3 years ago it's still hot garbage
