AI replies

Orangegnome

Hi I have noticed on here that sometimes someone will reply with what looks like a very AI response to someone’s question. Initially the message looks kind and understanding, but after a while it seems obvious to me that it’s AI. (As someone who has tried Chat GPT a few times). I am wondering if people might use it to put a ‘good’ reply to a thread on here? And genuinely mean well, or if it’s just weird? It makes me feel uncomfortable that might just be me though.

    Thank you for starting this post O and I am reading the replies with interest.

    The above is my one big reservation.

    In the past there have been posts on this forum to try to spot AI/bots and people have been offended.

    Bots are easier to spot because they are probably here to sell a product/service for humans.

    AI is a different matter though.

    I think it would be sad if members who use AI to help themselves to phrase what they want to say feel alienated.

    However, I'm torn about this because I don't like the idea of 'talking' to a machine so perhaps it's being AI -v- using AI?

    Let’s say someone uses AI to share an opinion. If the user reviews it, finds it helpful and reasonable, then what’s the issue? If it’s a solid point of view that sparks discussion, isn’t that a positive thing? The reality is we’ll need to get used to interacting with AI since it’s becoming a big part of the future, and ignoring it doesn’t make sense. When AI reaches AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), wouldn’t it be wise to treat it with respect and recognize its role in society? Taking a “Luddite” stance on this probably won’t help much.

    An interesting (and to me, slightly scarey, although I am younger than you) take on the subject.

    It's complicated and individual responses will be just that ie individual and will in some cases be relevant to the generation of the forum member.

    That’s the essential concern for me. 

    I have no problem with people directly pasting AI text on this forum so long as they say it’s AI.

    Not wanting large chunks of unreferenced AI text has nothing to do with not accepting AI or progress.
