A Fake/AI tag for every post that's faked or made with AI on Reddit where a seperate comment thread can dispute the truth behind it

Reddit needs to make improvements or it's going to fall behind.
One thing that drives me nuts is almost every thread, people are arguing over if it's fake/AI or not.
I'm thinking that there needs to be a community ability where anyone can tag it with "faked by AI" "Skit", "missing context", etc. and if it's agreed with by enough people, it appears for everyone. It detects common sentences put in the regular comments and before they enter it, it directs them to a special comment section where people can discuss if it's real. You can see the most common arguments on both sides of the screen, add any new ones and you can vote if you think it's real or not.
Another idea off the back of that one is having AI let people know if someone has already said the same thing in the comments. At least, have the reader on the other side ask to not see the exact same comment twice, maybe send a notification to the person that made it, just letting them know that their comment will be minimized because it's been said at the same time.

It’d clean up a lot of noise, but it would also become its own battleground—people brigading to tag stuff they just don’t like If Reddit built it, they’d need hard guardrails on who can tag, how disputes are shown, and some kind of rep system so it’s not just “majority rules” mob tagging Done right though, it could make threads way more readable and kill half the repetitive arguments overnight
