AI slop and low-effort contributions

Hey there!

This sub has become quite difficult to follow - every few hours, there's the next post for "I built a TUI for X", which translates to "I vibecoded an ncurses interface for a bash two-liner".

Unfortunately, this also means that the important content gets lost in a stream of meaningless posts.

What I'd like to ask for:

\- a rule for mandatory AI disclosure

\- an entry barrier for software packages; a task easily solved in <20 lines of shell code should not qualify as a distinct contribution


Let me know what you think.
