Proposed change to the forum guide: ChatGPT

This is false. The official policy is that responsible use of AI-generated content is allowed on Arduino Forum.

AI-generated content is simply one of many sources of information on the Internet. There is no need for a special policy for this particular source. You can find bad information from human-generated sources (e.g., Instructables, blogs, YouTube) just the same as you can find bad information from AI-generated sources.

Questions About AI-Generated Content

If someone has questions about some information they found on the Internet, regardless of the source, they are welcome to ask those questions here.

If you don't want to answer a question, that's perfectly fine. Leave it for someone else to answer.

Using AI-Generated Content to Provide Assistance

When providing assistance, copy/pasting content without giving any thought to the information is irresponsible, regardless of the source of that information. You must carefully evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, relevance, and appropriateness within the context before using it to provide assistance. But the same goes for any other information you find on the Internet.

Malicious Use of AI-Generated Content

A common spammer technique is to make a post from a copy of relevant content from some source on the Internet. A spam link payload is inserted into this content. In addition to human generated content, these posts may be made from AI-generated content.

Posts made for malicious purposes will be deleted and the poster's account suspended. The source of the post content is irrelevant in this case.

Automated Posting of AI-Generated Content

Unsolicited automated posting would be irresponsible, regardless of the source of the post content.
