Comments are disabled, to start a discussion with the community about this post or the rules in general, please make a meta post. Please stick to one specific item to address as your post to keep discussions on topic.

Due to the large number of AI-involved projects, posts oriented towards AI use on a self-hosted system, and the widely varied sentiment around AI usage, an additional rule has been created to manage them.

If your post is about AI or is a project promotion post, please read here first. If you are not posting about AI or making a project promotion post, you don’t need to read further.

If a post has tagged with an AI tag, low effort comments regarding their use will be removed.

Post Tagging

There are three types of tags for project promotional / AI posts.

  • [CBH] - Code By Human - A project promotional post with a project that did not use AI in any capacity. No disclosure necessary.
  • [AIP] - AI Project - A project promotional post with a project that used AI in development in any capacity. Disclosure is required for how it was used.
  • [AIT] - AI Topic - A discussion topic that includes AI. This may be for a discussion on hardware to self-host on, llama.cpp vs ollama, your experience using vulkan, etc.

[AIP] - AI Project Disclosure Requirements

Declaration structure is a modified version of ai-declaration.md. If you are promoting a project where AI was used in any capacity in the creation of the project, you will need to provide the details of its use. If you already have an ai-declaration.md or similar disclosure in your repository, you may link directly to it. If you do not, use the following structure:

Declare what aspect of the project used AI. You only need to provide the categories where AI was used:

  • Design - architecture, system design
  • Implementation - production code
  • Testing - writing tests, test plans, and QA.
  • Documentation - Docs, comments, README, change logs
  • Review - Code review and pull request feedback
  • Deployment - CI/CD configuration.

Then state the level of AI involvement for each category listed:

  • Hint - AI suggested solution, human does the task.
  • Assisted - AI acts on part of a task, but a human handled the bulk.
  • Pair - About a 50/50 split of human made and generated.
  • Generated - Human prompted, AI generated.

If you have used the [AIP] tag without a disclosure, a comment will request it. Please note that failing to provide the disclosure will mean the removal of your post.

For any questions, please send a message for clarification.
