You may use generative AI as a drafting tool, but what you post must reflect your own judgment, voice, and editorial decisions. If you wouldn’t be comfortable defending every word as your own writing, don’t post it. Your posts should be indistinguishable from work you’d produce without AI. If it looks like unreviewed AI output, it may be removed by a moderator.
Serious question andrew - how about code?
Generative code is allowed only if reviewed and entirely tested/fixed/polished by a human. Unreviewed output is noise and often harmful/confusing. Reviewed output can be helpful to others, if the poster understands and personally approves its entire content, as they would have written it themselves.

How do we define the boundary distinguishing generative AI content from, say, the output of a generative VCV patch?
Please spend another short second with that thought.

Well, one is fun/interesting to listen to, and the other is obnoxious and adds nothing to this community and its discussions.

I’ve rewritten this rule to emphasize “unreviewed AI output”. Of course, we don’t allow anything that sounds remotely like:
NEW VCV Rack Module Alert: SweetFilter™ — Turn Your Oscillators into Pure Sonic Honey!
Hey VCV community!
We’re thrilled to unveil SweetFilter™, the newest filter module that drips buttery, warm, and ultra‑musical tones onto any oscillator in your rack.
Happy patching! — The SweetFilter™ Team
But it’s a bit more subtle. If you post a fact that was obviously hallucinated because you didn’t read every word you posted, it may be removed by a moderator.
If you post a code example, you must understand and approve (vouch for) every line.
