Should AI generated posts be banned or otherwise regulated?


I just wonder. 

At least, when I start a new thread, I am expecting other people's opinions.  I can get my own AI response so I am not sure why others would repeat what I can do myself. 

If someone were to have access to some better AI than I have access to, I guess that would be useful info I could not otherwise get.  But in general, I wonder why posters think responding with AI content is useful to someone who can get that directly themselves.

Different prompts will yield different answers, so the answers will probably not be the same unless the prompt is, too. So banning? I vote no. Regulated? No on that, too, but it would be polite to note that AI-generated answers is what you're seeing.

No banning makes no sense. Although, hopefully it will become the norm not to just take the whole thing... with absurd font sizes and embellishments and slap it in. These long posts are ugly and disruptive. Although under certain circumstances appropriate. 

If someone is not familiar, I'll often recommend they run they query through and AI and only post a short paragraph from it, sighting this is where I got it. There are ways of discretely adding value without just dumping the whole ugly mess in. 

Then often from context it is not appropriate to post an AI answer. 

It's a free and open forum.  People can post and read whatever they want.  Or not.

If its not helpful, don't read it.  Pretty simple.

I just skip over obvious AI posts the same way I skip over certain member's posts.

Not a big deal.
