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.

I think you’re missing the point. Identifying AI posts as such is not helpful, for the stench of AI is unmistakable anyway.

For sure, AI can be useful and valuable. Sometimes.

AI can also be the crutch of feeble-minded imbeciles.

It is the latter kind of posts we should endeavor to eliminate.

the problem is that people don’t accurately state their symptoms.  Most of my career was spent trying to sort out the wheat from the chaff in obtaining a patient history.  There is no way that the accuracy of this going to increase with people inputting their story to a keyboard that isn’t going to be able to give instant feedback, or detect the clues in body language, etc

Precisely the issue we have as attorneys representing clients.  We cannot tell what they really understand or want because they send AI generated stuff as though the AI was our client. 

@mitch2 - if you want more features, more queries per day, etc, they DO charge for it; no mystery, these platforms have multiple tiers with monthly or yearly plans.
