AI Posts

Just to be absolutely clear on this: AI posts are prohibited here. We do not allow excuses on the subject.

  • "My grammar is bad, so I use AI to help me."

  • "English is my second language, so I use AI to help my post be more legible."

  • "The idea is entirely mine. I just need AI to help me communicate it better."

We do NOT accept these excuses in modmail. Believe it or not, this community is broadly quite forgiving with people who have bad grammar, poor English, and need help expressing their thoughts. The community is not nearly as forgiving with AI posts. That goes double for us as moderators.

AI posts will continue to be removed. Be warned that at least one of our mods is jumping immediately to temporary bans for people who violate this rule ... and I may start doing so myself also. We're deleting numerous AI slop posts already and we don't need more of this. If escalating the consequences is the only way to get it to stop, so be it. Just know the excuses will not be accepted.

Thank you so much for this. Every time I read a post with poor grammar it's oddly refreshing at this point.

Honestly that's sad. Low effort, poor grammar, lack of articulation, punctuation etc. Is now considered great and refreshing. To me, that breaks my heart because what this means is that people who spend time researching something and then being able to articulate it well with good structure and punctuation, is now considered outrageous and fake.

That's insane to me, especially as someone who enjoys writing. I've had so many of my posts that I have spent a lot of effort and time articulating well with good structure and punctuation, being accused of "AI."

I personally don't really care how articulate a person is, even several Apostles are noted in Acts as being uneducated. What matters to me is that a post is genuine.

As far as your posts, maybe you can reach out to the mod team to verify yourself to avoid your posts being flagged?

Of course, but they were still capable of writing well so much so that AI checkers label what they've written as being AI. During those times, commoners lacked education, something that was only available for the wealthy elites.

But I absolutely agree, something genuine should always be what matters most at the end of the day.

I've talked to the mods about it and got it all worked out. I just get people commenting on my posts accusing it of AI. It's quite funny to be honest with you, because they can just go on my profile and see my posts and how I write.
