Bots and AI generated answers on r/explainlikeimfive

580 views

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.

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.
