In PieFed v1.4 it will be possible to label posts as having AI generated content. Labelled posts will get a little badge near their title, similar to how nsfw and nsfl content is labelled. Mods and authors can change this value on a post in the same way they do flair and nsfw, using the little tags button in the bottom right or in ‘More options’ when editing their post.

Account settings for blocking:

Similar to how NSFW works, each user can control how those posts are listed on the home page, etc. The default is ‘Label as AI’, which just adds the badge. People averse to AI-generated content might want to change this to ‘Hide completely’.

Also similar to NSFW, entire communities can be assigned as ‘AI content’ and that will auto-tag every post inside as being AI generated. If the community mods have this value unset (e.g. Lemmy communities, which don’t have this functionality) then the instance admin can manually override the community’s AI Generated setting.

    it will probably end up being the direct trigger of suicides by people unfairly labeled as bots

    Yeah, possibly? Then again, the same could be said for running out of milk at the local grocery store, and more generally not everyone you dislike is (literally like) Hitler. By framing your argument in these terms you are distracting from the goal that you seem to be trying to reach. Take my answer however you will but I meant it in kindness.
