AI & Forums

I've done it myself a couple of times, but never as a serious reply, normally as a reply to something about AI where I've found it to be funny.

But I do agree, when someone replies with

'chatgpt says'

And then just pastes the text verbatim, I find it really irritating.

No. The like system was being used to passive-aggressively abuse posters in SC so it got chopped for that forum.

Passive aggressive abuse is basically what SC is? Don't see the problem. Give me my polarised political discussion sorted by "rising" and "top of all time" pls.
 
identifying what is ai slop is too difficult.. so how do you moderate it. I agree full AI slop posts shouldn't be "ok"
 
This forum is pretty much the last place on the internet I go to. Probably for an improvement in my digital life Ive pretty much dropped YouTube, reddit and everything else algorithmic because its just slop everywhere. I really hope forums like this hold out and remain with "high quality" human connections/opinions.
AI while incredibly useful in some ways is IMO very destructive for sharing of opinions online as it can easily amplify views of the people who train the AI.
 
If you're using AI to justify a serious point and you cant word it and show it yourself, I say get the ban hammer. Otherwise the likes of SC will get even worse and it will end up with ChatGPT basically arguing with another AI.

If using AI for a funny thread, meme creation etc, I could not care.

It's called lateral thinking, as I replied to you, & you reacted to, in my recent post - aka thinking outside the box (sic)

I'm not sure people are able to distinguish sentences wordsmithed by AI now, also manifested in bland predictable journalism,
insidious use in amazon reviews, or reddit (as said), GenZ cv's ?
Livefree speech is the last bastion.

Mate your "lateral thinking" is what people take LSD for.

It's easy to spot when you've seen enough AI replies, especially on business emails. Example write me a reply to this comment:

That's exactly the challenge. The problem isn't AI itself, it's low-effort content that adds little value. Moderation shouldn't focus solely on whether something was AI-generated, but on the quality and substance of the post. If a post is clearly spammy, repetitive, misleading, or contributes nothing meaningful to the discussion, it can be moderated regardless of how it was created. The difficulty is that "AI slop" is often a subjective judgment, which makes consistent enforcement tricky. I agree that fully AI-generated, low-effort posts shouldn't be considered acceptable, but drawing a fair line is easier said than done.
