I think a disclosure at least in the title of the post should be required. But only if the software is known to be not slop at all. The problem with this approach is, that everyone has their own threshold and definition of what slop means, or are misinformed about the project. Overall I do not think it's a good idea to ban any Ai contributed or assisted project.
As an example, do you consider Linux to be Ai slop project?
I'm referring to these new projects coded by AI from scratch, not existing projects which have an occasional LLM contribution.
People are submitting a lot of these AI projects recently.
What about project that were developed normally, but later changed to a complete vibe coded slop model? Because if this is allowed, then this would be a loophole basically. Just start a project without Ai, then do all the stuff with it.
