Based on recent comments this feels like a discussion we should have. So..topic, basically.

I'm not looking to be chief noisemaker on this, but I stand by what I wrote in !privacy and what's in my post history.

Let's have at; do we want a [AI] and [NOT AI] tag. Why or why not?

you are taking a risk either way. You are placing your trust in the dev and the few that can read code.

There is definitely a trust issue and a need for ways of conveying and building trust in smaller software projects. I think a much better solution there would be discussions about the code and how it works that aren't hostile interrogations with foregone conclusions in pursuit of a broader anti-AI agenda. If someone just put a lot of effort into making something the details of that process should be on their mind, it should be possible to make them more accessible to people and convey that there is non-artificial understanding behind the project.

Automatic hostility and suspicion makes those kinds of conversations harder and less likely.

You're preaching to the choir but I will give an amen.
