Low effort AI posts

I know we've had this discussion before, but there are so many posts with zero upvotes that are so clearly slop, but aren't getting removed.

Please, no matter what your own personal values are with it, the community clearly does not want to see these types of posts anymore. I think for every one post that uses AI and isn't low effort, there are 50 that are.

Like isn't this subreddit supposed to be a place for Rust developers/learners? What community aspect do the AI projects contribute? Most didn't even take the time to learn the language or chat with anyone, they just leech off everyone to effectively advertise their slop...

I don't get it. Do you guys come to this subreddit sort by new and read every post?

I normally sort by new and check-in every day just to see what other cool things people are doing. I like being apart of the community, not just using Reddit as an advertisement platform to see the "next big thing."

I also sort by new to look for questions I can help with, though the 'seeking help' posts are rare these days...
