Mar 27, 2023 at 18:43 comment added Karl Knechtel @ShadowTheSpringWizard No; Stack Overflow is protecting Stack Overflow, because the ban arose out of community consensus there. As a Stack Overflow user, the process is that I flag suspected ChatGPT content via the normal flagging mechanism, then a Stack Overflow mod acts on that like any other flag. Each other Stack site is free to follow the same process and come to the same conclusions individually.

Make it more clear that the lack of policy is for banning, and clearly state that there is a policy that AI generated content is "the work of others" and must be appropriately referenced.
Dec 21, 2022 at 17:04 comment added Scortchi - Reinstate Monica @ShadowWizardChasingStars: If users are already unmotivated to try & prevent low-quality AI-generated content's flooding their site, then it's hard to imagine how the announcement of any network-wide policy will spur them into action. And I doubt the people posting this rubbish are paying any attention to policies.

Dec 20, 2022 at 8:23 comment added Slate StaffMod @Shadow If a community is experiencing a serious disruption in their ability to manage content quality, we will happily support that community using the tools we have at our disposal. Rest assured, the plan here is not to throw network sites to the dogs. Rather, that sites need to develop their own guidance specific to how GPT and language learning models are misused in their communities - policies we plan to help support. Overall, though, the median daily volume is very, very low on all ~180 non-SO network sites & decreasing. And I'm monitoring that situation actively for unwanted changes.

Dec 20, 2022 at 7:30 comment added Shadow Wizard @Adám perhaps it's not flooding them now, but seeing there is no policy against it, and seeing a clear request to ban it officially declined, I'm 100% sure people will start doing exactly that at some point. It's easy rep.
Dec 20, 2022 at 7:22 comment added Adám @ShadowWizardChasingStars Isn't Slate saying that in fact, ChatGPT-generated content isn't actually flooding non-SO sites?
Dec 20, 2022 at 7:02 comment added Shadow Wizard In very simple terms, this feels like you're protecting Stack Overflow while throwing the rest of the network below a bus and letting it get run over. Without clear policy, terrible low quality AI generated content will flood the sites, eventually bringing them down. And I really don't like that. It's sad, and I see it a terrible mistake.
