Making ai tags mandatory

[Gnosis]

making it mandatory to use a tag to announce the use of ai and the manner in which it was used would greatly help in filtering those threads.
it is really annoying to read a story just for the author to start using ai halfway through, causing what feels like every second sentence to be "it was not x, it was y" or for mundane things to be overdramatized.
adding a tag is something that would cost the author maybe five seconds yet would significantky increase usability of this site and ease of navigating threads.

It would cost the author five seconds, and it would be an endless slog for the moderators. They've explained why things are as they are in the multiple other threads where this was suggested.

Yeah. While if it was feasible, I'd probably want people to tag Ai far more often, the fact of the matter is the mods have much better things to do than try to police what tags people use and I don't trust the community with the power to just decide based on vibes if a story they like/dislike is Ai or not. There's no realistic way to ensure compliance with such a rule, so it runs afoul of the old saying: ''never make a rule you know you can't enforce.''

The tagging system is a mess. I've seen authors misspell tags. I've seen them put up random nonsense. No one takes it seriously, so it's not worth using seriously.

It could be worse. This could be Ao3.

Tag enforcement suggestion, must be a day ending in 'y'

While I agree that in a perfect world this would be nice, like others have said it's simply not viable as many of us have mentioned in previous posts on this idea. The best option would be to simply leave a review, a respectful and helpful one and outline the problems your having with the structure and grammar of the story, and say if it is egregious enough to make you drop the story. I would say only do this in stories you have already been following that either have started using AI slop, or got bad at it enough you noticed. If it's a new story, simply leave, and mark ignore. People that are using a tool badly and actually wish to improve will, those that don't will be naturally filtered out by being ignored.
Lets not try and add things that will make the mod's lives harder, and take them from areas that they do need to focus on.
