r/artificial

r/artificial is a broad AI forum: model news, industry moves, ethics and policy arguments, tutorials, and a steady run of 'is there a tool that does X' requests. Its rules on promotion are unknown to us; no secondary source states them, and one guide says AI communities in general are fast to flag hype. A tracker lists both solution requests and self-promotion as common post types. The requests are where a maker can be useful, provided the answer names two or three real options, free ones included, and describes what the output looks like rather than repeating marketing claims. Vendors should keep out of the ethics and news discussions entirely and recommend a better-fitting tool when theirs covers only part of the need.
