Fair. So we're talking about slop - and to that I agree.
Next question then becomes: does [AI] meta-tag in any way help you discern slop from non slop? There are comments and proposals in favour of it.
The counter argument is - slop is obvious...and even if it isn't (and you're going stick the thing on your own rig), you should probably do your due diligence first...which will uncover issues.
At which point, a scarlett letter isn't going to do anything useful, and may unfairly tarnish projects.
That 97% stat was from 2 years ago. It's surely higher now.
I don't think [AI] tag works, for a number of reasons, as others have identified. But the topic keeps popping up here and there, so it's worth mulling over.
