Speedy deletion is for deletions that require zero discussion, so it needs to be very simple and clear. For less sloppy genai there may need to be a discussion (unless it falls under different speedy deletion criteria.
Sometimes those discussions are very straightforward, but they allow for dissenting voices. But for “almost obvious” cases not a lot of effort is spent on them.

Of course. I also hope this will stop like 99% of the skiddie spam. I’m just afraid that, like it has happened with hacking in general, a noob installing Kali will get a ton of one-click ways to bypass these measures… and then, what’s next?
Genai inserting watermarking would be great, but that’s hard to do with text, in any way that isn’t easily removed.
