About that new 9(a) rule


It would have been better had you written something yourself in a sincere way, which represented and conveyed the notion that you actually gave it some thought.

I thought we were just doing stuff. Since you put 10x more effort into responding to me about your ideals in a thread about rule 9a about AI Content than you did reading the first 10 posts before asking a question.

It's impressive, the techniques used to avoid talking about being a responsible member of society. That's fine. Humanity is progressing regardless.

Not in this thread, obviously.

Actually, through your mocking, it has provided many opportunities to state the correct behavior. Even though cynicism has prevailed, the good advice is also out there.
 
@RedAkston I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but does this pertain to the AI forum? Just wondering how we discuss AI without referencing AI, including in depth analysis of outputs that may exceed the 5000 character limit and require multiple posts.

Just want to make sure i understand so I don't get in trouble. I get it that one can discuss AI on other platforms, and that the kind of discussion I'm talking about may be out of scope for DP.
 
I'm a little lost on this. Does that mean that if someone links to a video that happens to have AI content the user is subject to an outright ban? I mean, I THINK I can identify most videos that have AI but I can't really be sure and don't exactly know how to tell for sure.
 
Referencing AI is not a problem.

The rule was created to prevent a poster just copying and pasting an AI result as if it were their own words without referencing that the text is the result of an AI inquiry/search. This won't be a problem for 99% of our membership.
 
Very few rules result in an outright ban. 9a violations don't fall under this category.
 

Thanks, boss.
 
I think there's subtle difference between linking to content that someone else generated with AI vs posting material that you generated with AI.

Using a Google search often generates “AI Overview” (text) content and appears to do so by using multiple sources, yet doesn’t always quote directly from them. Does the new 9(a) rule require noting the use of any of that text must include a “Partially generated by Google AI Overview” annotation?
 
You'll need to ask someone in authority (something I think the mods fear I might have some day ).
 
Actually, this AI situation is becoming quite the unexpected result of tech advances by humans.

It's good to see management here is keeping an eye on this, but it may be that revisions will arise as new laws are passed and new weird uses of AI are come up with by some folks that have mean intentions.

Here in Japan troubles with AI are starting to take up a lot of admin time on websites. I suspect that eventually a busy website is going to need at least one team member who has some experience with this AI stuff and stays focused on just that one aspect of site management.

Frankly, the amazing ability of the human mind is especially shown when bad folks get into a game. Many bad folks are super smart.

Did y'all know that AI is now being used on YouTube to generate fake voices of famous people? Here in Japan the law enforcement folks are focused on advertising companies that use that technology. Not sure if you folks over the in the U.S. have your attention on just that one area of this AI stuff, but it is an example of how such bad stuff can happen.

Sorry; just wanted to commend management here for having an eye on this AI thing. But being an old man (a jiji) requires certain responsibilities to the OPC and doing long yak-yak-yak posts in one. OPC = Old Person(')s Corps
YEAH to old people!
 
I think this deserves some genuine software development. It is possible to get a lengthy AI response, created on demand, which could be archived somewhere. Using a "spoiler" tag is a kludge, but we could do better. Additionally, I know that for example perplexity.ai will create a link to an answer thread, which contains multiple questions and answers ... unfortunately, the link is only good for two weeks. If the site had a tool where you could simply paste the URL for the AI research, and then it would copy the whole thing into a background file, and put a pretty link to it, make a note that that site's answers were formally licensed for noncommercial reuse by the AI terms and therefore can be stored by debatepolitics for a forum post indefinitely, and give you an option to easily quote snippets within the object that links to it ... well, that would be a doozy.
