Should AI generated posts be banned or otherwise regulated?

I would favor a requirement that all AI-generated content be identified as such.

Mind if I tell a story?

I’m a speaker manufacturer, and recently I used AI in an attempt to speed up my search for woofers with a particular set of characteristics, among which was having one or more demodulation rings (also known as "shorting rings" or "Faraday rings"). The answers I received were actually wrong more often than right! I found out by checking the data sheet of every recommendation. In some cases I even contacted the manufacturer to double-check whether the data sheets were correct, just in case the AI had a reliable source of information that I was unaware of. Nope.

The AI presented its incorrect recommendations as if they were absolute facts, with no clue in the wording that there was any uncertainty or any possibility of error.

I’ve seen incorrect and obviously AI-generated audio-related content posted with no disclaimers.  Misinformation is being unintentionally posted by people who mistakenly place unquestioning trust in AI. 

Imo we should at least be given a heads-up by the person making the post when they are posting AI-generated content.

I aslo have pretty loud tinnitus, which I attribute to both age and exposure to a great deal of artillery and mortar fire and small arms fire while serving as a junior Infantry officer with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam; I must have an air cleaner running on high at night to mask the ringing in my head, which is at about 1200 hz.  However, my Fyne Audio F-702 speakers do a superb job of reproducing music, so much so that I seldom notice the tinnitus while playing most music--classical , Big Band, and soft rock, such as the Moody Blues, Beach Boys, CCR, and vocalists.

As for banning AI, I would vote "No."  It would be nice, however, if whenever someone posted AI-generated material they would identify it as such.

Yep, that is exactly the kind of question that AI tends to get very wrong. It is really good at generalizations... and bad at detailed specifics. 

The more you use AI, specifically ChatGPT in my experience, the more you’ll find its answers to be long winded and not what you asked, sychophantic, blatantly wrong, and completely made up.

Example: I asked it to compare the Rogue RP-5 to the Rogue RP-1 deriving its answer from actual user experiences. Except I typo’ed and wrote RP-11.

It told me through real user experience, they found the RP-11 to be more refined and musical than the RP-5, with a blacker background and cleaner sound. For those who don’t know, there is no RP-11. This is just a quick audio example of its nonsense. I’ve myriad more unrelated examples.
