In recent months, interest in AI has grown, but so too has the number of posts made from AI-generated content.
ER.org is a forum where people have thoughtful dialog, about ER and all its many side-topics. However, when threads start to fill not with the words of members, but with those auto-generated by bots, we start to lose purpose and humanity.
Many threads are a virtual iteration of a group of near-strangers seated around a table. If one or two of those folks were conversing by reading AI-generated text off their phones, it would feel unnatural, inauthentic. Everyone knows how to Google or use AI, but members ask questions here to hear from each other, from their experiences, struggles and successes.
In that spirit, we are asking members to use discretion and limit use of AI-content posts: If you'd like to include a (very) brief summary of some AI response, in your own words, as a part of your post on occasion, that would be acceptable, but it should never be the majority of what YOU have to say. A copy/paste of AI-content is not going to be an acceptable post/thread going forward.
An update is forthcoming to the community rules (as always found at the bottom of every page). Thanks in advance for your understanding.
