I think the same rationale applies to this forum and if they're doing it, we should also pursue a set of criteria to establish what constitutes an "AI-generated post."
The forum soon will be overrun with low quality AI generated posts, just because there is a financial gain in it, it is easy to do and the tools are available to everyone.
The first step is to include in the forum policy that AI generated content is not allowed. Most people spamming the forum won't care about the quality of the output, won't spend much time crafting their prompts, so it will be easy to spot and ban the offenders. As others mentioned, if someone doesn't know what they are talking about - AI will not help them hide that forever.
It should be treated the same as plagiarism. Asking an AI something then copy and pasting the response is just as bad if not worse than plagiarism because it's not as easy to detect, though the posts do kind of stand out. I just noticed this user after one of their posts was reported for bumping a thread:

Identifying the best coin and the right time to invest can be a challenging task. It requires research, analysis, and a bit of intuition. One way to identify the best coin is to look at its market cap, trading volume and historical performance. These metrics can give you an idea of how popular and valuable the coin is. Additionally, you can look at the technology behind the coin, its use cases and the team behind it. As for the right time to invest, it is important to keep an eye on market trends and news. Look for any major announcements or events that could impact the price of the coin. It's also important to have a long term investment strategy and not get caught up in short term price fluctuations. Investing in crypto currency can be risky so its important to do your due diligence and invest only what you can afford to lose.
To increase capital investment for a business try to attract investors or partners who can contribute funds into the business. This can be done through networking, advertising or pitching to potential investors. Improve profitability of the business by increasing sales, reducing costs or increasing efficiency. This can be achieve through marketing initiatives, cost cutting measures or process improvements. Business can explore financing options such as loans, lines of credit or crowd funding. These options can provide immediate funds to support business growth. Business can consider expanding their product or service offerings, entering new markets or diversifying their revenue streams. This can help to increase revenue and attract new investors.
And you can see the stark difference from the user's first posts:
facebook is still alive. Me myself i can't live without opening my account every single day. Facebook is a source of communication specially to family, friends who are in distant places. Facebook will remain for a long time unless the owner will give-up.
i would rather to be rich to buy all the necessity in the world and share it to the people who are in need.
I think theymos should probably make an announcement about prohibiting this sort of use of AI or at the very least we add it to the "unofficial" forum rules but users should be alerted not to use it in such a way. If a user if just going to use it to copy and paste the title of a thread or the OP into an AI then copy and paste the results that should be treated the same as plagiarism. If it isn't then this place isn't going to be a discussion forum for much longer but just a get paid to copy and post AI responses forum.
