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?
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.
I refer to my original point I personally think anything LLM generated is slop and would certainly prefer to have literally any and every LLM generated code marked so I can avoid it. I do consider it all slop.
I also recognize that isn’t how the world works unfortunately.
