I'm sure people will approach this news story in a sane and well-reasoned manner.

I don't use Claude Code. Until recently I was using Cline, it's got the ability to switch between different models for exactly this sort of thing. I switched to Qwen Code recently and its model-switching wasn't as convenient, though it just rolled out an update that makes it much easier. I'll experiment a bit with that, it might have caught up with Cline in that regard.

That doesn't work so well since it leaves all the old context in place. The point of doing a separate cleanup pass is to get the AI to look at it all holistically with "fresh eyes".

I guess this is a humor community, though, so practical advice is getting downvoted. Um... bazinga? That usually triggers the laugh track.

Nice. We uploaded a mind into a computer and the first thing we did was put it in a simulation of Hell and teach it how to shoot things.

Indeed, it's clearly a show that's made by people with an obsessive love of Star Trek as a whole. Most of the really obscure stuff wasn't central to any plots, but it's still a little more fun being able to point and go "oh! The giant skeleton of Mr. Spock hanging from the ceiling! That's from that one weird episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series with the enormous clones!"

Or just watch all of Lower Decks, while you're there. Though I do agree that Peanut Hamper is a highlight (for me anyway - I've seen strongly divided opinions on this. :)

well the alternative is no solution

Yup, that's what both I and OP are saying. This is not something that can be "solved" and this attempt at solving it is causing net negatives.

Ah yes, mods are famously level-headed and will take the word of the person objecting to their actions. Same with the general commenter population of art communities.

False positives are fine?

Some artist spends days working on some bit of art, posts it, gets the scarlet letters "AI" hung around their neck and now they not only have that particular post taken down they're a "suspect" from then onward.

More will go up.

When automated detection fails then it's up to people to manually report it and mods / admins to manually apply the label.

Which is not reliable, and which therefore leads to the witch-hunting problem.

Whether an image actually is AI and whether some random person thinks it "looks" AI are not always in alignment. Especially considering that "is AI" has shades of grey too, given that lots of images are made using AI tools for only some aspects. And even "AI tool" is open to interpretation.

I was talking about screening and reporting posts and you've moved to profile pics for some reason?

It was just an example of an AI-generated image that I could point to that I'm quite sure doesn't have any special metadata attached to it. If for no other reason than I generated it years ago.
