I totally support this!
The whole ethics on AI is its own big topic, but one thing that I find peculiar and really annoying around AI is that it is often used to fake authorship.
AI can be helpful and an enabler, but I think it would be nicer if people are transparent about its usage when writing a post or code - assuming they are fine with the ethical implications of using such systems.
I think it is totally fine for people to use translators or try some things out via LLMs as an enabler, but I also encourage everyone to be transparent about their “shortcomings” - it will most likely be appreciated more than generic text or code and this is how learning and developing a style works within a community. Embrace the error is a very good credo of the livecoding community which I think also suits the SC community well.
BTW - what exactly are the community guidelines? Are we talking about the CoC or does the forum has its own rules?
I’d propose to add something like the following to the CoC, feel free to enhance/edit via https://hedgedoc.musikinformatik.net/sc-coc-ai?both
Usage of AI tools
-
AI slop and AI based low effort contributions are not tolerated and will be judged by moderators discretion on a case by case basis.
-
Since almost all LLM providers also train on their input data it is not allowed to paste other users content or code into LLMs without their consent.
-
Do not use LLMs for arguing or discussion! Another person is communicating with you, so you as a person should reply and not forward this task to a chat bot.
-
AI tools such as translators or even LLMs may be used at your discretion to enable participation or contribution with the community.
At the same time: Please always try to participate without any such assistance, it should be used as a last resort.
You can assume that the other side is always preferring your own words, code and style over some generic AI generated content. The SC community appreciates the error over generic content.
The moment you use any kind of AI tool to generate text or code you need to be transparent about it and add a disclaimer.
PS: I also proposed to guard this forum with Anubis to protect it from AI bots and AI scrapers, see Guard this forum with Anubis - I think the fight against AI slop needs to be fought on at least two frontiers.
