as a NON-AI user, i find this policy, if it can even be called that, a bit, um, ridiculous...

first, it is being posted into a forum.  not everyone visits the forums.

second, the gallery upload page, where such a silly notion should be put, is not there, again, making it impossible for those who do not visit forums to be aware of it, and thus, creating 'busy work' for your moderators, who will then need to, on an individual basis, put a 'hold' on an image and send sitemails to 'offending' users to explain the policy, etc... if such a policy is actually to be implemented, should it not be done in a way that informs all, ahead of time of impending changes, so that the individual can then freely make a decision as to whether they wish to comply, or not, ahead of actually posting.  instead, now you're setting things up to make AI users feel even more attacked over the medium they choose to pursue, and your mods to be out on the 'frontlines', so to speak, unnecessarily...

third, i really think that Rendo is asking for way too much honesty from its user base.  absolutely some will follow the 'policy', but considering that you have people who use AI and post their images under the guise of other types of applications, why in the world would one think that just because you ask for a prompt, you're going to get the ACTUAL prompt used?

sorry, but this is just stupid, even to someone who has a myriad of feelings surrounding AI & its use...

and i agree... if AI users need to truly give out their prompts, then 3D app users should be required to post a wireframe of their posted image [obviously prior to any postwork should any be involved]... dunno what you could require of photographers other than what already exists... 2D artists should disclose their tools, be it the type of pen/pencil, paper type and weight, the chroma colours users [if applicable], the colour number of the acrylic, and so forth...

this kind of policy truly needs to be made as something to fit all, and not just a sect of users, period.
