I noticed that AI posts tend to get reported so I figured maybe we just make them officially disallowed.
Agree/disagree? Post and tell us why!

Allow AI posts if they are one of the following :
Technically, you might need to ban the song “skullgrid” since it was composed using procedural generation software. But, it was composed that way, but then recorded by metal musicians. https://beholdthearctopus.bandcamp.com/track/skullgrid
Obviously, yes, ban slop AI stuff that’s “here’s enter sandman regge style” , here’s my “smoky blues space album” that’s just them putting the title into suno AI.
There are also people that worked on this kind of stuff before the AI … mainstreamisation? Like Dadabots , who worked with the musicians and with their permission and everything. I don’t want that kind of stuff to be banned. https://dadabots.bandcamp.com/album/coditany-of-timeness is from 2017 and it would be a shame to lump it in with everything else.
https://github.com/MeltwaterArchive/Sound-of-Twitter … which is currently down, or deleted or fucking whatever.
Basically : I want to see experimental works that were made using programming and data re-interpretation. I don’t want to see “I put farts through AI and here’s the generic output”.
I think you’re conflating “AI” (LLM) with procedural generation. The former should be banned, the latter allowed.
Kinda? I know what the difference between LLMs and proc gen is. I don’t think that it will be clear if a ban comes into place, and people are so knee-jerk at anything that isn’t 100% human made that they will care and demand anything that uses any kind of artificial intelligence or non human composed and played music be burned at the stake.
Also, I think that LLM based generation is a subcategory of proc gen. I think LLM based stuff *can* be set up in non slop ways to create non slop work, and I want the “experimental” high effort LLM stuff to be treated as such.
I feel like you’re making valid points for interesting use of the technology. The problem is that only accounts for such a small percentage of AI output, that it is impossible to moderate for. It takes someone very skilled with the tech to be able to achieve what you are describing. I also don’t think anyone is going to nitpick over someone performing a song written by AI as the artists performance is the human element we identify with.
Ban AI here and there can be another community for that kind of content.
I agree that we should start with a ban all AI content. But we could easily make exceptions for actual effortposts like those listed in the parent comment. It’s not a huge leap. AI slop? Banned. Novelty from someone who used a tool that included AI? Well its not really slop, so don’t ban it.
I disagree, it’s not that hard to moderate. Lemmy is not a legal system, if a mod mistake happens no one gets hurt. Appeals are easy, and you can specify in the rules that AI content must come with a disclaimer and description of why its OK if it wants to stay, otherwise it gets banned with everything else AI.
For the 0.1% “OK” AI songs mods just have to stop and read a sentence description, its not an overwhelming burden for something that maybe comes through once a month.
Was the procedural generation software trained using other artists’ works? Or is it more like a drum machine with baked-in algorithms written by software developers? If the latter, that’s not “AI” in the sense that this thread is primarily discussing.
even better, using a scripting language that calls algorithms.
EDIT : Fair point though
colloquially we all know ‘ai’ means generative large language models like gpt and copilot. nobody says ‘ai’ these days - especially in the context of question of the post here - and means sythesizers or minecraft or purpose-built and tailored narrowly scoped machine learning models integrated in software. we would say these other terms we’ve used here just like we have.
