We’re also struggling with this - spotting genAI content is getting harder and harder, especially if people use skills like Humanizer that helps avoid the typical AI signs.

From a community management perspective, I feel that allowing chatbots on your forum drains the soul of your community - if people wanted to talk to an AI, they would have done so already. They’re here because they want to talk to a _human_.

We haven’t found a solution yet; we did some tests with AI detectors, but it’s a cat and mouse game and they have too many false positives too. For now, we have implemented a forum policy (which we’ll start communicating more strongly soon), and rely on the help of our community moderators to spot, check and clean up.

But frankly, it’s exhausting, and I sometimes worry about the future of our communities if they get overrun by bots.
