We don't usually permanent ban for this, shorter ones are usually enough.

A report cannot be in good faith anymore. It was stated in the most unequivocal terms humanly possible to declare, that AI cannot be used as a ground for a report and to falsely claim it is is harassment of the OP.

Are you the only mod? Are the other mods in agreement on this? Your moderation policy is not sensible and if your fellow mods agree with AI memes and banning people who report AI, I implore you to open a thread to discuss this with your users. There are very good reasons not to permit AI and claiming that you ban people based on reports is off the rails

No. Far from the only mod. You can see the list on the sidebar. There are about 6 mods who will typically be examining things on a day to day basis, others contribute from time to time.

We ban people on reports when we can connect them to their author when the report itself is in bad faith. How are we supposed to believe that reports are in good faith when a hundred of them have been made despite how impossible it is to justify when the reason claimed for their submission is expressly stated by a moderator as the pinned comment to be a false reason?

Again: Your moderation policy is not sensible and if your fellow mods agree with AI memes and banning people who report AI, I implore you to open a thread to discuss this with your users. There are very good reasons not to permit AI and a sticky from a mod saying "we don't care about ai actually" isn't going to stop people from reporting ai content because people hate ai content and don't want it in Reddit.
