Rules on AI usage, translation, and sourcing

• This subreddit doesn't have an official language. Be extra courteous when talking to others since you may have a language barrier.
• We encourage the use of traditional translation tools: Google Translate, DeepL, etc. LLMs can alter content and hallucinate over obscure topics.
• AI generated images of non-fiction things must be labelled or they will be promptly removed.
• We expect longer effort-posts to cite their sources at the bottom of their post.
