The Discourse team does read it. I don’t know exactly how often, but they do read it.
If I remember tomorrow, I’ll try a make a request. It would be useful.
So the options are kill the automatic for AI completely or leave it as is.
I would suggest killing it completely and hope that most posters starting AI-related threads will appropriately tag them, and if not, whatever mod happens to notice can manually add the tag, though I’m not suggesting that should be anyone’s job – I know you folks have plenty enough to do! I just think it’s probably better to have no tag than one which is very often misleading.
Agree w the esteemed pup. An absent tag is the norm. (Sigh.) A defective tag is a PITA.
I, also, think too few tags is better than too many. I’d remind that auto-tag.
Remind it to think before it adds itself?
Someone should just make a Discourse AI that can auto-tag all posts based on their content.
Then it’ll come here and wonder if it should tag this post as AI or just move it to Site Feedback…
So for now at least, it is turned off.
We’ll see how that goes.
Less mis-tags is a good thing.
Thank you!
Not to be all meta, but this thread shouldn’t really have the “ai” tag, since the thread is about the tag, not about AI.
I removed it.
