and as always, the culprit is ChatGPT. Stack Overflow Inc. won’t let their mods take down AI-generated content

    there are some pretty good AI-generated text detectors out there like GPTZero. i wouldn’t be surprised if mods used that to screen comments

      My understanding was that they’re very unreliable in their current state, but I’m definitely not up to speed.

        I’ve been seeing so many stories about student work getting falsely flagged as AI generated. It really feels bad to be accused of that, I think. So I can see why it would be better to avoid trying to determine one way or the other if something is AI generated, for now.

        All that matters for a question answer is whether it’s right, partly right, completely dead wrong, and so on, right? And that can still be judged regardless of whether it’s AI.

        AI absolutely shouldn’t be outright invited either, though.
