Only issue might be… that creating an automated cleanup tool to remove those triggers, wouldn’t be all that difficult.

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.
