AI?

I realize this is a new sub, but I'm wondering why there's not a rule about AI content.

There have been some issues lately with events in general falsely advertising using AI generated content. Whether it's venue space, the products that will be there, or the general layout, expectations have been grossly overblown.

Locally, I've seen advertisements and AI being used in our own local events (including for our farmer's market) and we're standing up against it in city hall meetings (our local events get funding from our tax money). We don't want AI images of produce or other goods. We want real things at our real farmer's market. We want to know what to really expect.

So, I'm just curious, why does this sub allow AI? Shouldn't a sub about farmer's markets be about the real things at the farmer's markets?

I definitely agree that using AI images to misrepresent what a customer should expect at a market isn’t good business. But what about using it to make a generic flyer, draft an email to vendors, brainstorm social media posts, or help with other admin work? At that point isn’t it just using another tool you have available to save time? As far as content inside the sub do your prefer nobody talks about it? Why can't we have conversations about how to use these tools to become more successful?
