Hello everyone! With the prominence of AI generated tools and services, agents/agentic coding, &c. in daily life, and the public distaste (including the Titanic community's) for this usage of AI, I'm presenting a couple of new rules proposals.
1. AI usage disclosure
This proposal is for requiring all creation or development involving use of vibecoding/agents to be properly disclosed before being posted on the forum. This does not include using AI to research or other tasks unrelated to the creation or development process.
We could have something like [AI] in the title as the disclaimer and that would be enough.
Here are the options you can vote for this proposal, ordered from most strict to least strict ruling:
2. Vibecoding/agentic development ban
This proposal is targeted more towards our passionate developer community here, and suggests a complete ban of vibecoded/agentic developed contributions to Titanic's codebase and software posted on Titanic's forums.
Some developers may actively use AI for simple tasks, automating boring busywork, or debugging. These cases are not included in this proposal and should be a discussion for another time.
Here are the options you can vote for this proposal, ordered like the previous:
I will personally refrain from commenting on what I think should be done and remain neutral on the proposals.
When replying, please include which option you think is best for the proposal, or if you believe there should be a new option. I'll add any new options if they're distinct enough!

Here are the options you can vote for this proposal, ordered from most strict to least strict ruling:
- Option 1 - Any AI usage, regardless of extent, requires an AI disclosure.
- Option 2 - Usage where AI is the primary method of creation or development (vibecoding, agentic development) requires an AI disclosure. (This means it can be used to a lesser degree.)
- Option 3 - There should not be a requirement for an AI disclosure.

Here are the options you can vote for this proposal, ordered like the previous:
- Option 1 - All vibecoding/agentic development is prohibited on Titanic forums and codebase.
- Option 2 - Vibecoding/agentic development is prohibited, with the exception that the human controlling the AI is able to explain in their own words what the code does and why.
- Option 3 - Vibecoding/agentic development should not be prohibited on Titanic.
I will personally refrain from commenting on what I think should be done and remain neutral on the proposals.
