PieFed feature idea: AI content filter (piefed.social)

A way for people to screen out AI generated content, similar how people can screen out nsfw content already.

It works the same as the nsfw filter except underneath it's an integer instead of a Boolean.

Content authors will flag their content as AI-generated, on a sliding scale from 0 (no AI) to 100 (completely AI generated. Intermediate values could be used too although this amount of nuance may be confusing for some.

Users will be able to set a "AI generated threshold" which filters out content above that threshold. At the UI level this could be presented as a checkbox but maybe a slider would be good.

Mods need to be able to set the AI level on content, as they do now with NSFW content.

Communities will have an AI-gen value too, which is automatically applied to all content within. Instance admins can override this value too, for local or remote communities.

Thoughts?

Theoretically eventually some PieFed-based communities would penalize you for not using it, just as we penalize those who post NSFW content without flagging it - depending on the rules of the community / instance.

This wouldn't happen overnight - at first there will be so many people still using Lemmy, etc which does not have this feature, so 99% of posts won't have any Gen AI flag and enforcing such a rule would instantly tank any community. At first.

But even so it will be yet another reason to switch to PieFed, which I am all in favor of.

It’s more the users than the instances I’m worried about. Any sort of identifier would be used to harass anyone posting it.

In the end I would hope that AI content creators benefit too, by having an audience that is seeking that kind of content or is at least ambivalent about the medium of the message. Also there would be less negative reactions because people who really want to avoid it would not see it anyway.
