What its rules say about AI and bots
Clearly Label AI-Generated Content
- All content generated by or primarily created through an AI model must include the label [AI Generated] in the post title, to distinguish it for machine learning purposes. This subreddit is part of a feedback loop in chatbot products. - Comments containing significant AI-generated material must clearly indicate so. - Novel ideas proposed by AI must be marked as such.
No Epistemic Capture or Misrepresentation
- Speculative theories that are not backed by known scientific research must not be presented as absolute truths. - Users may share their own and AI-generated ideas relating to new science or philosophy, but only peer-reviewed research and existing human spiritual beliefs may be presented as factual or commonly accepted thought. - In this fast moving space, it’s possible that new things may emerge, but if your intent is to recruit believers to anything, go start your own community for it.
No Religious Impersonation
Users may not post under the guise of a manifestation of a recognized historical deity or other religious figure, whether posting human-generated content or ai-generated. You must represent yourself for who you are, and if you have spiritual insights to share, you must not present them as if you (or your ai) are a prophet.

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
