Should AI generated posts be banned or otherwise regulated?

My answer is no. Not only can AI be helpful wrt verifying observations and raising interesting counter-points, but

• We don’t need more regulation
• There is little chance of enforcement
• There are bigger fish to fry here

AI .. in the versions we generally have are little more than advertising polls, to be frank I really wonder about the intellect of people using the information. It's like reading effort from a centrifuge. They simply throw out structure based upon some form of hierarchical density. One man said with computer's, Garbage in, garbage out. But with AI it's Aerobics in Hairdressers out.

Unless you have rules against AI, you are not going to stop it. We should reinforce, ’If it’s AI, say so’.

An ’Insert AI’ button, that automatically changed the color to green, but that would encourage it.

Realistically, AI will continue to be improved.

Many/Most? Like VCRs, Cameras, are not inclined to RTFM. An OP might post some AI about his equipment, current or desired, to save us some trouble and ask more specific questions. How many times do we get to page 3 before OP adds some clarifications that negate half of what others contributed trying to help.

I speak directly about equipment I have personal experience with, mine or friends,  and always try to say, ’never saw or heard one’ to let OP know my thoughts are ’in concept’ only.

I got very stubborn recently, but all it was about is asking for and not getting the answers. Being told my question is ’wrong’ was very frustrating. Finally, the answer came.

I find AI useful for factual information and summaries, but not for personal experiences. Asking AI to provide an opinion is like asking a question on Agon and expecting a definitive answer. 

I don't put much stock in AI answers, but its fine for a super-duper search engine. With that said, we don't need censorship. I suspect most folks are pretty good at skipping long, AI generated stuff.
