I recently had two of my resources removed due to the AI Policy stipulation. I admittedly acknowledged the policy before posting them (reference for update), and did not appropriately have the disclaimer in them. It was completely warranted to remove my resources, although a warning would have been nice, it certainly wasn't necessary. I admit fault. Given that resources are manually reviewed, I also understand why this is in place, and can appreciate the amount of time and toil that AI has likely had on forum admins, among many other areas.
With that being said, I would like to raise for discussion/consideration, a different workflow for resources that fall into this category. Simply having a text disclaimer still feels toiling to review or consider as the intake of resources comes through. Maybe it isn't. But I'm concerned that it's removing resources that, despite being written with AI, are legitimately useful for people to use. One of my resources had a very small following, but was extremely useful in its category. I have active DMs with other livestreamers on feature requests to meet their need. I am very actively developing and improving it. I wasn't posting updates because it was buggy (sure, there were bugs), I was adding new features for people. By removing it, I can't help other streamers in my niche. That's unfortunate. I still post updates to GitHub, but non-technical people aren't really searching GitHub for OBS plugins.
My thought is either a tag for AI developed plugins, or something else, to categorize and deprioritize them in the recommendations. Maybe they can never be featured. Show up in a separate section with less real estate in the search results. I'm not 100% certain, but kicking it out doesn't seem helpful. Somehow remove the burden on the admins, protect the end users from installing garbage plugins but still allow developers to share them in this forum. AI provides an accessibility to broaden the community here. I'm an engineer. I don't normally write C or C++ code, but AI allows me to translate my ideas. I just ask that you don't totally shut us out. Thank you for consideration!
