This is an experiment in short-form content on LW2.0. I'll be using the comment section of this post as a repository of short, sometimes-half-baked posts that either:
don't feel ready to be written up as a full post
I think the process of writing them up might make them worse (i.e. longer than they need to be)

I'm not actually sure about all our exact policies (@habryka may have clearer takes), but, I think if the AI wasn't responsible for choosing any of the phrasing, just cleaning up grammatical stuff, then it doesn'nt need to be in the AI block.
(I expect the default rule to approximately be "does our AI detector detect any AI in a given paragraph? If so, the post is probably flagged/delisted barring special circumstances. )
How about use of AI for anonymization purposes such as the recent Possessed Machines essay?
Yes, this would be a straightforward case for putting most paragraph blocks in the AI tag.
If someone is able to use AI to generate a large number of high-quality alignment posts that don't read like AI slop, I would call that mission fucking accomplished.
If we get to this point, probably we re-evaluate the policy, and/or have a conversation about how as a community to relate to AI content. But, the problem is we need to distinguish "AI is generating high-quality alignment posts" from "AI is generating what looks like high quality alignment posts", and we're certainly at least going to be spending one generation of frontier-model where it's only doing the latter.
