Having both an [AI] and a [not AI] tag allows immediate differentiation between a not AI post and a did not tag post.
But it's annoying. Non AI should be default, AI has to be marked.
Yes, but no. [Not AI] tags would be just as much for your benefit as it would be for the poster's. Until they become official tags in a mandatory field to post, someone who cuts corners is going to skip reading the rules and post without a tag. Or even if the onus were only on the "AI" posters, then they'll miss or forget to check the box, select the tag, etc.
Therefore, you'll want to be able to sort by [Not AI], and then safely assume that anything else probably isn't worth your time. Additionally, someone who uses AI and then intentionally abuses the [Not AI] tag could be assumed to have lied about anything else in their project, and should not be considered a trustworthy creator or worthwhile poster.
I want the subreddit to be at least 95% NOT AI, but without completely excluding AI content (which must be tagged) and I don't want to see everything tagged "[NOT AI]" because that's genuinely obnoxious.
I understand that this is maybe not realistically achievable given the technical limitations within the Lemmy platform, but those limitations are not going to make such an implementation any less obnoxious, even if it is implemented that way for my benefit.
I would rather trust the mods and downvoters to clean up not-tagged or dishonestly Not-AI-tagged AI content, personally.
Reasonable.
