Dec 10, 2022 at 9:15 comment added wovano @chrisneilsen, and (as already pointed out in one of the other answers) OpenAI requires this as well, so not doing it is a violation of both site rules.
Dec 10, 2022 at 9:04 comment added chris neilsen Re P.S. Should we mandate that answerers explicitly declare the use of AI assistance? - we already do. Posting an AI generated answer as your own, without attribution is plagiarism.
Dec 7, 2022 at 15:04 comment added VLAZ @AkshaySehgal many users who post a deluge of CGPT answers are new. They have 1 rep. Or have started posting the answers at 1 rep. There isn't really that much to "punish" them with. It might work for higher rep users who have started posting generated answers, however, I'd lean against that. Simple temporary ban (which is currently being issued) should put the message across. No real need to make a permanent mark.
Dec 7, 2022 at 11:49 comment added Akshay Sehgal How about a reputation penalty, each time a user is identified using AI-generated answers? Just a thought.
Dec 7, 2022 at 11:40 comment added gnat I think closing would be much more efficient with the help of active tag regulars. They currently tend to abstain of this because system pushes moderation of unfamiliar tags down their throats. Instead of bothering them with stuff "outside" they should just get opportunity to moderate where they are comfortable doing it, with tag-filtered triage and close voting powers enhanced by tag badges
Dec 7, 2022 at 10:17 comment added wovano @mickmackusa, I agree my remark does not fully apply to questions closed as duplicate (although I personally favor having all answers in one place instead of scathered around over many duplicate questions, but YMMV). However, it does apply to questions closed for other reasons. You state so yourself on your profile: "This is why... I ask others not to post answers to questions that are incomplete, duplicates, or otherwise close-able."

Dec 7, 2022 at 10:13 comment added user692942 @Lomtrur Well, it should be FGITW but they went for "Fastest Gun The In West" problem instead.
Dec 7, 2022 at 10:13 comment added mickmackusa Mod @wov not all dupes are bad. Stack Exchange does not mind a few unique signposts that point to a single dupe target. Duplicate-ness may be disputable, so allowing answers isn't ridiculous.

Dec 7, 2022 at 9:43 comment added Lomtrur What is an FGTIW answerer?
Dec 7, 2022 at 8:35 comment added wovano @mickmackusa, no, I'm asking: why should questions that should be closed according to the site rules (because they are off-topic) get an answer anyway to please the (ignorant) asker? Obviously, good on-topic questions (that should not be closed) deserve an answer.
Dec 7, 2022 at 8:31 comment added mickmackusa Mod Are you asking: Why should askers get the answers that they need on a Q&A site??? @wov
Dec 7, 2022 at 7:52 comment added wovano "This way askers still get the answers that they need" Why is that even needed? That is not the purpose of Stack Overflow, there are other sites for that. But "we should remove any earned rep if a page is closed within n days of being asked" sounds like a good idea!

Dec 7, 2022 at 7:00 comment added Cerbrus CGPT's terms even state that you must state that the content was AI-generated, that you may not pretend it to be your own.
Dec 7, 2022 at 6:30 comment added VLAZ "Quickly close all duplicate and off-topic questions." doesn't work, sorry. "The FGTIW answerers were fast before, now they'll be faster." quite often a question would get one or more answers by the time it's hammered. Within the span of 2-3 minutes. I'm sitting on newest questions and trying to action them ASAP normally but even then finding a dupe might take longer than writing a simple answer. One question I closed in less than 5 minutes had FIVE ANSWERS by the time I hammered it. Now it's even simpler to write answers.
