My wife and I almost had our wedding cake made by the local grocery chain. They had our favorite combinations of flavors and textures, could do incredible decorations, and have an unrivaled reputation for catering, but they only make sheet cakes.
My mom was so distraught by the thought of us serving grocery store sheet cake at our wedding that she offered to pay in full for our wedding cake, but only if we got a tiered cake from the same company that made my sister's wedding cake. My sister's cake was sufficiently yummy, and it would save us about $500, so we agreed.
They refused to make the flavor combinations we wanted because it wasn't traditional, and they forgot to serve the second cake. TWO CAKES?! Yes, my wife and I disagreed on what cake to serve our guests, so we each picked our own cakes and then were going to judge which of us was better at cake-picking by seeing who had the least cake left at the end of the night.
My mom paid nearly $2000 for multi-tiered disappointment, and it was dry. When we went back to the bakery a year later for our anniversary slice, they told us it would cost $50. We decided that wasn't worth it, so we bought all the cake we could eat from the grocery store with that same money. (COVID prices)
Moral of the story: don't get hung up on wedding cake. Any cakery bakery can make a cake that tastes like a wedding cake, so take that off its multi-tiered pedestal. If you like cake, then buy it often, and buy it everywhere. When you wanna take a break from cake, custom order a cake for yourself for a future date, use the money from all the cakes you don't buy during your pastry pause to instead treat yourself to something magnificent. If the bakery asks if you're celebrating anything, tell them that you're celebrating how much you love cake.
Reject normalcy, buy the cakes.

Well, my Mark of the Beasus friend, for a country that consumes insane amounts of treats, fats, and sugar, we've got really shit tastes. Like, we wanted a strawberry cream cheese icing with strawberry slices in the center with lemon poppy cake. Instead, we got yellow lemon-flavored cake with pink fat 'n sugar icing. I swear, it was like a child made it.
But it sure looked pretty!

It wasn't that bad, plus we thought it would be free, but that was a different bakery that offered a free anniversary slice. Y'know, one year in, superstitions and paranoia started to seep in. We started to fear that by not even trying to secure an anniversary slice, even if it was disappointing, we'd condemn our young marriage to apathy and dissolution.
So, we hopped in the car, drove for half an hour, were disappointed a second time by the same bakery, and then instead ate something that we actually enjoyed.

Oh, I just noticed what community I was commenting in. Yes, you're completely right, then. It's more of a helpful little tag for those who are interested than a filter for different types of creators.
I'd assumed, obviously incorrectly and with the wrong context, that you were expressing anti-AI views, so I was trying to communicate how not fully standardizing (labeling) the data (posts) would affect you from your, once again, improperly assumed perspective.

Yeah, I thought I was in one of the programming communities (we call them communities vs subreddits, which is why they're prepended with "c/" instead of "r/"), which is why I was being so anal about creators and their values/meticulousness.
Obviously, for a community that's often full of people posting "look what I found," or "here's my advice," I was proposing far too much rigor that would absolutely kill the mood here.
