I've noticed that some people don't like the use of chatbots in this forum, and I'm cool with that. But I haven't seen any official petitions or discussions about it, so I thought I'd bring it up here.
What do you all think about the use of chatbots and AI in this forum? Should they be allowed, or should this forum totally ban their usage? I'm curious to hear what you all think! I'll be sure to reply to what everyone has to say next week, but for now, I hope you all have a great weekend!
About the chatbot, it is difficult to take a position on it personally, but certainly, the forum frowns on a thing like that. What use is an organic post again if people can resort to that? Everything will look nonsensical if allowed and true self-expression will vanish, so it should be tolerated.
As for AI in general, well, the use should be technical. You do not ask questions from AI and just write everything down with a copy and paste, that's bad. You can learn from it to have an idea of what you are to write and then write it down in your own way. Also, if at all you will write or quote anything online or related to AI, it is better you quote it. Otherwise, you will plagiarise so much to the point that your account would be banned.
