Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Malicious Communication: Posters and commenters are expected to act in good faith. Treat other users the way you want to be treated. Avoid straw-manning and bad-faith interpretations. Report posts/comments that aren't appropriate for the "serious" flair.
- No Trashposts: Posts deemed to be entirely without value or effort may be removed if they have not generated interesting discussions before their discovery. Anyone sharing disturbing content will be banned. Users are encouraged to report posts they feel are of significantly low effort. Specifically mentioning that “Is ChatGPT down?” posts will be removed; the stickied FAQ deals with that.
- Self Advertising: Posts must be directly related to ChatGPT or the topic of AI. They may not be solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service (these posts should directly go to weekly self-promotional mega thread, which is pinned)
- Political Discussion: Having ChatGPT create political content is completely fine. Discussion of the politics around AI and LLMs is allowed. Broader political arguments that are not meaningfully connected to AI may be removed.
- No NSFW Content: This is a SFW sub. Any posts violating this rule will be removed, and repeated offenses may result in a ban.
- AI Art: 1. Quality over Quantity: AI art submissions are allowed only if they showcase something very unique or unusual. Generic memes, low-effort images and karma farming posts will be removed. 2. Encourage Tech Discussion: Posts that include insights, techniques, or thought-provoking commentary about the AI process or technology behind the art are highly encouraged. 3. Mod Discretion: Mods reserve the right to remove posts that do not meet the above criteria.
Works well
- A post that shares a unique technique or insight about how ChatGPT or another LLM works, with technical commentary that encourages discussion.
- A post in the pinned weekly self promotional megathread that briefly describes your AI product and why it matters to the community.
- A post that discusses the politics or policy around AI and LLMs in a way that is meaningfully connected to the technology itself.
- A post showcasing unusual AI art accompanied by a breakdown of the process or technology behind it.
Avoid
- Do not post content that is entirely without value or effort, as it will be removed under the "No Trashposts" rule.
- Do not post content that is solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service outside of the weekly self-promotional megathread, as this violates the "Self Advertising" rule.
- Do not post generic memes, low-effort images, or karma farming posts, as they will be removed under the "AI Art" rule.
- Do not post NSFW content, as it violates the "No NSFW Content" rule and may result in a ban.
- Do not start broader political arguments that are not meaningfully connected to AI, as they may be removed under the "Political Discussion" rule.
What r/ChatGPT Is For
This community is for discussing ChatGPT and AI. It is not affiliated with OpenAI. People come here to talk about ChatGPT, share AI related content, and discuss the technology and politics around AI and large language models. The rules make clear that it is a safe for work, serious discussion space where good faith participation is expected.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for a founder are "Self Advertising", "No Trashposts", and "AI Art". The "Self Advertising" rule states that posts must be directly related to ChatGPT or the topic of AI, and may not be solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service. Those promotional posts should go directly to the weekly self promotional megathread, which is pinned. The "No Trashposts" rule means posts deemed to be entirely without value or effort may be removed. The "AI Art" rule requires quality over quantity and encourages posts that include insights, techniques, or thought-provoking commentary about the AI process or technology behind the art.
What To Post
A good post here is directly related to ChatGPT or the topic of AI and offers real value or effort. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, share insights, techniques, or thought-provoking commentary about the AI process or technology behind your work. If you have AI art to share, make sure it showcases something very unique or unusual and includes technical discussion. Put any direct self advertising in the pinned weekly self promotional megathread rather than as a standalone post.
What To Avoid
Avoid posting anything that is solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service outside of the weekly megathread, as this violates the "Self Advertising" rule. Do not post low effort content, generic memes, or karma farming images, because the "No Trashposts" rule and the "AI Art" rule both target that. Avoid asking if ChatGPT is down, since the stickied FAQ handles that and such posts will be removed. Keep political discussions strictly focused on AI and LLMs, as broader political arguments may be removed under the "Political Discussion" rule. Do not post NSFW content, as the "No NSFW Content" rule says violations will be removed and repeated offenses may result in a ban. Avoid straw-manning and bad-faith interpretations of others, which falls under the "Malicious Communication" rule.
