Well, you barely see someone who doesn't use AI for coding these days; personally, I've grown to the point where I let AI handle 80% of my data cleaning with Python/ SQL codes for me in order to reduce my working time, I've said this before. Whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay, and it's just growing better. Most of our keyboards are now AI-powered, which improves our sentences and makes life easier.
My thoughts on AI on the forum: It should be viewed as plagiarism; if you must generate a topic with AI, you must also provide the AI source, but don't quote human replies with chatbot texts; they stink, especially on the gambling board.
AI is good but the usage is the problem - not everyone knows how to use this beautiful technology.
Using AI is understandable in such cases; I'm also using it in my master's thesis, as it's way more efficient in finding the perfect references (it found exactly what I was looking for when I spent hours in Google Scholar and Science Direct). It's great in the translation of complex words, especially in my case, as it involves medical terms, while it's also great in finding alternative words or phrases to reduce plagiarism. Whether we like it or not, it's capable of reducing our working time by far. Whether we like it or not, AI is capable of saving us a lot of time.
However, this is a public forum, with real people behind each username. Our goal here is to discuss topics regarding various subjects and voice our opinions. If we wanted to talk with a bot, or ChatGPT, we'd do that, but is that what we want? Certainly not, which is why AI shouldn't be used to generate replies in the discussion board.
In conclusion, AI is a great tool that's here to stay; it can save up a lot of time on trivial projects, but it's not made to replace us. Using it in the forum is a plague and should be a bannable offense for repeated offenders.
