I don't envy the position you're in.

I think the decision to ban AI submissions is a good one, but ultimately it's going to create this conflict for some time, maybe a really long time until things stabilize around AI in the broader culture

I hope eventually AI usage does become a taboo, at least in some fields. Creative fields should be for creative humans, not people who can't even publish an article without the help of an LLM

Ok, but we're not talking about all AI usage. We're talking about using AI to process text that gets published for others to read.

There are tons of ways to use AI that don't intersect with that.

I'm thinking about it more as a microcosm of how norms will form around AI usage

If it becomes very normal and expected that people just let LLMs speak for them online using their voice, then I don't think any kind of online community has a hope of actually keeping that behavior at bay long-term

For people like me that means the end of online communication entirely, most likely. I don't want to talk to people's LLMs

My hope is there's some broader cultural taboos around AI usage for communication purposes at least.
