“Border fragment of wool with a continuous band of #hummingbirds and fringelike appendages representing beans. Early Nasca [Nazca, Peru, c.1-450 CE]. Pollination of bean plants by birds may be suggested here. Border was formed using a needle-knit stemstitch.”

RE: AI Slop on AO3 and The Function of Rulemaking
I think there's an ideology clash taking place with regard to the whole "should AO3 ban AI" debate, and it's not between the people you'd think.
Like, you'd think the debate would be between between pro-ai people and anti-ai people.
But actually it's between pragmatists and, uh, let's call them evangelists for lack of a better word.
The pragmatists will say, "Well there's no point in instituting a rule we can't possibly actually enforce—rules that can't be enforced are meaningless!"
The evangelists will counter, "The point is to make a statement. Even if the rule is only symbolic, putting one on the books presents an ideological front against ai slop. Even if we can't litigate this stuff off the platform, having a rule might at least shame and peer pressure people into posting less of it, less blatantly.
.
This is one of the things that really differentiates AO3 from other places on the internet.
The rules on AO3 are actual rules. They exist to be enforced. If they could not be enforced, they would not exist.
Sites like xitter and tiktok are full of rules that are not actually rules at all, but merely political messages.
For example, tiktok made a rule a while back banning omegaverse content, so they could make a statement to their advertizers that their website is a "child friendly" space. But they didn't actually try all that hard to enforce the rule. They made a paltry effort to hide some omegaverse posts from direct search results, but they didn't have a lot of financial incentive to actually drive all the omegaverse posters off tiktok. Those posts still bring traffic to their platform.
These websites might occasionally make an example out of someone to make it look like they're doing something, but the point isn't to actually do something. The point is to look like they're doing something.
