What's forum's position on using AI text generation?

I already posted about this in the past

Signs of AI writing

I just stumbled upon this article on Wikipedia about identifying sings of AI writing. It is specifically about Wikipedia articles but some can be generally applied to other texts as well. For example the Ko-fi spam wave we had once a few months ago checked many of the boxes like overuse of em-dashes, emoji bullet points, a lot of bold text and title cases in headings (I bet most forum users don’t even know you can make headings here). So I post this because I think it is still useful for us as …

but this should not be treated as an official statement by the mod team.

We already have a rule against AI generated content and an extra option to report and flag such content.

I don’t know if we already officially extended the rule to generated texts specifically but I don’t see why not. AI content is basically noise in the forum (and in general). Only exception we have for now is when it is used to simply translate from other language to English (or vice versa). However, we didn’t really discuss this yet as a standard in the moderator team and it more or less emerged by itself.
