I'll admit right up front, I'm biased. I create original content. This is what the platform was designed for and what I appreciate it most for. I think that is in the majority. Most of the folks I know do not come here to see the same FB, Twitt, and other garbage repetitively copied over and over. To me, Chatbot, AI, etc. is the same as wikipedia, GSearch, or any other source. If you're going to use it or be "assisted" by using it, then quote it as the source instead of plagiarizing it. Perhaps even create it's own community, where those that like it or want it can enjoy it to their heart's content without bothering the rest of us. For me, anyone using extensively or without crediting it properly in the communities I manage will be muted permanently. That's one of the real values of the communities, we can keep them limited to the content our members want to see and let the other things go elsewhere.

KSteem! I really appreciate your honest opinion, and I'm honoured that you took out the time to stop by (apologies if you're one of those that don't like being tagged).
You know, the use of AI is something that is highly controversial and divisive, but you've nailed the fundamentals as to yourself, your personal beliefs and how it informs your actions as to how you manage the communities you run.
Honestly, I can't fault your POV. It is an ethical issue, and no one can be an epitome of morality, we all have some sense of what's good and bad which has been shaped by our experiences, upbringing, and sociocultural context in which we found ourselves.
What I appreciate the most is how you clearly stated this:
Extensive use and crediting is an issue. To be honest, in my case, I was completely oblivious of this as I skipped on the community notice for this. I was in the wrong, though, my case swiftly went from the first notice straight up to muting, HW spamming comments, and downvotes. It seems they quietly stopped the downvotes, but I am not sure yet.
However, lessons learnt - I will be more careful going forward.
Thanks once again!
