Plagiarism:Everyone knows that Plagiarism is a crime even outside this forum. Plagiarism is frowned at in higher institutions and its consequences could be imprisonment or paying huge fine unlike the forum where the ultimate punishment for plagiarism is permanent ban.
AI postingWith the increased adoption of chatGPT, which I am personally seeing to outsmart google in just a few years, I cannot say that the use of AI is a crime.
But in the jurisdiction of Bitcointalk, do you think using bots to make or generate posts is ethical or should be acceptable?
Well, I think my answer is
NO.The essence of banning plagerists should be because of cheating, users copying others work to appear more intelligent than they are.
And the severity of the punishment is heavy when the plagiarist wear paid signatures.
If plagiarism (using others work without referencing) is a crime in this forum. It therefore means that AI posting (deceiving people to reply to automated codes thinking it's their fellow human) should also be a crime.
I can say that some campaign managers agree that it is cheating and that is why Royse777 introduced this rule
To prevent AI domination effective from today we are introducing an incentive for forum users. Find AI written posts on this campaign
and report to me either in public or in forum PM, please be sure you have enough reference to support the claim. For successful report
the reporter will receive the weekly payment instead of the accused campaigner. The campaigner will be removed immediately.
Also stake.com manager Carollzinha updated similar rule in her rules
Posts being generated by AI will not count for your current payment & may cause you to be removed from the campaign with no pay
In both cases, the punishment of the managers is to kick the defaulting participants out of the campaign.
Does it therefore lie in the hands of campaign managers to curtail the usage of AI in making posts in the forum?
If Plagiarism leads to ban, why is AI posting not leading to a ban?
Considering that any post(s), that is not well connected in meaning with a flowing conversation can be regarded as a spam. I therefore suggest that the forum make an overall rule against AI posting.
Else a board should be created for AI posting where signature does not display, incase we don't want to fight a fast evolving technology.
