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.

Don't ban AI, but maybe , it should be identified so that the reader or user can make the decision to cross check if the answer doesn't sound right or just make sure it's accurate. Mistakes have been made, but it gets better as it goes.

Some AGRs are quite interesting.

  • ASR bans people from saying “DACs sound different”;
  • AGR does not ban Amir from claiming that “all DACs sound the same” here
  • some AGRs want to ban AI because it sometimes gets things wrong just like these AGRs themselves.

Isn’t that funny?  Is there something wrong with AI or these AGRs?

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.

Wow. You should really do a bit of research.

You don’t have to be "pro-AI’ but you should at least know what it is and can do. 

And what is an "AGR", mentioned just below? Did AI write that or is it a  typo repeated by a human?

80% of medical AI queries are factually wrong.

Law Firms have fired lawyers who don’t verify the source of AI sites.  
Judges have had opinions overturned by higher courts for not verifying the AI used in their verdicts.

I don’t favor banning it here on the site but I would discourage posters from citing it.  As the OP stated, we can all do an AI search but we are seeking the opinions of our fellow humans 

@mahler123 - what kind of testing was done to arrive at this '80%' of medical queries are factually wrong? It would seem that humans would have to go through all the medical queries on every AI platform and analyze the query and the response. And I assume you mean 'verify the source of AI responses', as AI sites are such things as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others; they're not in hiding.
