You can also Report the post in question, as (an overuse of) AI is against the Rules.
It all seems seriously judgemental, like you want to drag FB or X here and start repeating the bully system. Not a fan. The masses don't need more weapons. There is already a report button. Let moderators do what they do, and stop trying to control and manipulate others, which is all that button would be for.
This post in an active part of the forum got 1K views in a little under a month. Out of those views only 28 decided to reply to it. The OP post only got 12 likes. It took nearly three years for this post by the literal owner of the forum to get 30 positive reactions and 28 replies at the time I'm writing this, in a slower part of the forum. And you can click on the reactions yourself to see how spaced out they are over time. If you go onto the main page you can see a list of registered members, people who can actually use reactions and reply, that are active at any given time. There's 27 of them online at this point, myself included. I don't know what kind of "masses" you're expecting to suddenly show up in waves to false flag posts but I don't think they're here in this niche forum. This is not X or FB.
There is already a dislike and troll reaction, like I said earlier. If someone were to come here and start posting nothing but nonsense or act in bad faith people would both report them and react negatively to these posts. Why do the public reactions matter if theres a report button? Because they signal for everyone else looking at the thread that people who are engaged in the forum actively like or dislike these person's posts. With the reactions we actually get to measure how the actual posters of the forum feel about it. It's valuable information for seeing who's trusted in that space and who's not.

are my most used actual facial expressions irl.
Now here you are getting all up in my grill, like I'm the problem because I don't agree that you need more buttons to push. Obviously just so you can continue to attack other members here with your incessant and irrelevant input. So you come out from under your rock, as a new Neophyte, and try to argue with me and attempt to push my buttons, which makes you a difficult and obsessed person to me. You do you and just mind your own business and do your own thing, but don't come at me sideways unless you want to start something that needs moderator attention. Are you OCD or something? WTF and get off my back with your statistical nonsense that doesn't interest me any more than the skidmarks in your shorts. I don't care. I don't think we need more power over other users, and certainly not from people like you who are so anti-whatever that you think you need to foam at the mouth about it. Get a life. Policing this forum is certainly not your job, thank the stars for that. What a lunatic you are turning out to be.
In all fairness one of the things that's genuinely annoying is the recent trend of people asking under legitimate art posts if it was made with AI because they can't tell the difference. I get that it's annoying to reply to that with "Yeah, I actually did all of that" but I think that just comes with the territory now that the LLM pandora box has been opened. I don't think you can blame people for being a little bit more paranoid and trying to assure themselves that the product they're getting was made with real care behind it.
My friend. I am fairly sure that feeling the need to argue is quite absurd if your "esoteric abilities" are so great. I just add, im simply responding out of boredom and i am in an office cubicle at the moment. However, the fact that you are so keen to assume that this fellow is part of the "cancel culture" is quite strange. It is not like adding an "AI slop" button is going to bring cancel culture onto a niche occult forum. We already have a troll button. If cancel culture had reached this forum, that would be used more often. Not to mention, to cancel others, you need to expose them for something embarassing. Now, on top of this, people on this forum tend to appreciate original content and not AI content. Therefore, while i do not care whether an AI reaction gets added or not, i must note to you that people here enjoy other peoples opinions, and some cannot tell what is AI or not. Therefore, an AI reaction could help point that out to those that cannot tell. It is not about canceling people, it is about adding a silly reaction to a niche occult forum. The absurdity of your argument is funny to me, so i had to respond.
Here we go again with people taking sides and throwing more mud, when it is not necessary.
This is how books get burned by zealots who think their way is the only way. A slippery slope for the ignorant.
Oh crap. I must apologize deeply. I did not see the post you mentioned until you mentioned it. It does look rather like the cancel culture you speak of.
I'm not endorsing cancelling anybody or going out of your way to silence people in a targeted way. No one is gonna pick up pitchforks and torches because of a few reactions on a forum. I'm talking about people just organically disliking someone's content over time because they find the content they post to not be good, and those acts accumulate over time to paint a reputation. You probably didn't sign up here to get all these awards and likes on your profile but because you've engaged the community long enough your profile eventually got there because the people on here enjoyed your content. If people disliked your posts then your score would've moved in the other direction over time. It's not cancel culture, it's you reaping the consequences of your posts.
Okay I'm kind of neutral on this but leaning towards no. If someone thinks something is ai generated they should just tell the person in a reply.
I don't like this reply because this seems like you want to use this as another way to insult people. I think it should this reaction should only be used if you really think something is ai generated so used sparingly else if you don't like a post just dislike it.
