I’d personally like to see these posts banned / flagged out of existence (AI posts, not the parent post).

It’s sort of the personal equivalent of tacky content marketing. Usually you’d never see an empty marketing post on the front page, even before AI when a marketer wrote them. Now the same sort of spammy language is accessible to everyone, it shouldn’t be a reason for such posts to be better tolerated

The problem is the same as in academic world; you cannot be sure and there will be false positivies.

Rather, do we want to ban posts with specific format? I don’t know how that will end. So far, marketing hasn’t been a problem because people notice them, and don’t interact with them, and then they are not in front page.

I would agree, but the truth is that I've seen a few technical articles that benefited greatly from both organization and content that was clearly LLM-based. Yes, such articles feel dishonest and yucky to read, but the uncomfortable truth is that they aren't all stereotypical "slop."
