Just a general note to all members explaining my position on posting AI generated content on ZooChat.
AI systems can be used in many ways - from generating content to rewriting content you provide.
AI content generation systems are known for generating technically incorrect information with complete confidence - which makes them misleading and extremely problematic - effectively junk content. It can make it very difficult for less well informed readers to judge the accuracy because it is generally written in a more professional manner than typical forum posts, leading to assumptions that the information is correct or more accurate than other information - which is not necessarily the case.
The posting of AI generated content is not permitted on ZooChat and anyone found to be doing so will be banned, especially if the content is giving incorrect information.
ZooChat's success is based on meaningful contribution from our members - real people - not generic content generated by an AI system.
In theory I don't have an issue with someone using AI to help them re-write content they've already written - to improve the grammar and sentence construction and such. However, you do need to consider the consequence of doing so - it will most likely make your writing look like it came from an AI and not from you, and that can make it seem less trustworthy as a result.
My advice is to avoid using AI to rewrite your content - this is not a professional journal where we demand high quality writing, nor do we expect "formal" writing - it's a discussion forum*. If someone is posting content that smells like it was AI generated - regardless of the source of that content - then we are likely to remove it.
The value in this site is in the personal experiences and opinions of our members - not in what some AI system thinks we want to read. It doesn't matter how good or bad your writing ability is!
{* - side note: "text" speak (4u, b4, gr8, etc) is not acceptable either - please at least try to write in plain English, even if your spelling and grammar isn't the best}
