Rules Surrounding Writing Topics using AI

Imho, it’s certainly a matter of taste and brevity.

On one of my regular forums I see people posting Post after Post with huge overly-formatted “AI slop” that they likely haven’t fully vetted or in any way attempted to edit to make them more easily consumed. I really dislike it when someone appears to “fully outsource” their argument to AI. It feels lazy and inconsiderate to the reader who is somehow expected to do the review of their AI cut & paste for them.

Don’t get me wrong, AI has a useful contribution to make to forums (I wrote two of the first three AI plugins for Discourse) but the way people use it has to be moderated.
