Recently, there’s been a surge in ChatGPT generated posts. These come in two flavours: bots creating and posting answers, and human users generating answers with ChatGPT and copy/pasting them. Regardless of whether they are being posted by bots or by people, answers generated using ChatGPT and other similar programs are a direct violation of R3, which requires all content posted here to be original work. We don’t allow copied and pasted answers from anywhere, and that includes from ChatGPT programs. Going forward, any accounts posting answers generated from ChatGPT or similar programs will be permanently banned in order to help ensure a continued level of high-quality and informative answers. We’ll also take this time to remind you that bots are not allowed on and will be banned when found.

As they said in the Risky Business podcast: ChatGPT provides a text which oozes confidence, but it does not necessarily provide the correct answer.
Good news to deal with the bots and bot-like behavior.
But it did raise a little question:
>>We don’t allow copied and pasted answers from anywhere
Is it OK if a portion of the reply comes from Wikipedia, if the Wikipedia article is well sourced?
Thanks for the clarification on exactly which rule to report them under. Rule 3 here we goooo..
Just curious. How can we recognize a text generated with ChatGPT, though?
So what you’re saying is that you WILL allow copy pasted answers, so long as whoever is doing it doesn’t cite any sources.
If you disagree, please tell me how you plan on reliably identifying pasted answers, especially for AI answers which are uniquely generated each time.
Actually no. Not reliably. I changed my mind. Since you’re saying this constitutes a no warning perma ban, you better have a virtually infallible way of identifying it.
Lot’s of downvotes, zero explanations on how to infallibly identify chatGPT answers. Apparently mods of this sub just don’t care if they end up unfairly perma banning users.
What about the fact that this sub has become “explain like I have a masters in engineering”
Could you create a report option so they can get the proper attention they need?
I appreciate the work on this and believe it is justified, but do laugh as there are plenty of human generated answers on this forum that are similarly confident and totally incorrect. Sometimes I wonder if the bot has a worse error rate than a typical user or a better one ha
For anyone who needs the ELI5…
OP wants you to use your own words, don’t copy from other “people.” If you copy, you won’t be allowed to come back.
– Not ChatGPT
Does copy-pasting the question into google and then copy-pasting the first result back into a comment count? Because if so this sub is doomed
