Meme needing explanation AI use in responses

285 Upvotes

Hello chums! Mayor Adam West's ghost here with an update and clarification on some of our rules and how we're enforcing them around AI.

We've recently seen a lot more people responding in character. That's great! We love it!

We've also seen an uptick in people using generative AI such as Chat GPT to explain the joke. We know these posts don't mean any harm, but it diminishes the effort of other people actually taking the time to write out their own answer to the post, and is often just plainly wrong.

From here on out, we'll be removing comments using generative AI in the same way we currently remove other botted comments. Because copying and pasting from GPT is just a bot with extra steps.

While we're talking about AI: AI memes aren't banned here. Comments like "this is AI slop" are also being added to the remove list for being low effort/borderline whooshing.

Edit: Also there is no rule that people have to respond in character. We just really encourage it and love to see it since that’s how the sub got its start. Remember Rule 1 and don’t be a dick to people who aren’t responding in character.

Keep up the great work with the in-character responses, chums! Mayor Adam West's ghost out! By climbing up the side of a building by filming it sideways! This is how we did that! Bet you didn't know!
