I bet if sites just added a "likely AI-generated" badge next to UGC, 99% of people would stop doing this. Problem is, without public shaming, many people will continue to take advantage of anything that requires them to do/think less.

You're absolutely correct!

actually maybe not βΈ» a lot of people take pride in (re)posting AI generated content, their only human contribution being "I asked $AI".

Consider also (but maybe I'm projecting) that people do drive-by shitposts all the time, so they would post their slop grenade (I will use that term from now on lmao) and never see what the responses are. I've done that for years on various platforms (minus the slop) and I honestly don't know how well-known or well-received my shitposts are, I check some metrics every once in a while and numbers go up so it's not all bad I suppose.

lol @ at the uber-emdash. anything AI can do, we can do better!

"fair pushback". ez solution though that's enabled by this feature. "exclude AI-generated" filter. I'm actually incredibly surprised that isn't a thing, yet, tbh.
