| Aug 9, 2023 at 16:24 | comment | added | ACuriousMind Mod | @ZeroTheHero I think we might give an update once a concrete new policy on how to handle computer-generated content is public; right now all I can say is that I'm personally cautiously optimistic. | |
| Aug 9, 2023 at 2:51 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | Any updates from our mode team now that there is apparent path to resolving the AI issues? | |

| Jun 23, 2023 at 10:33 | comment | added | tparker | The one downvote was probably from ChatGPT. | |
| Jun 10, 2023 at 10:28 | comment | added | Amit | @Mazura I think that regardless of someone being an expert or a non expert he can make the decision whether to vote on a topic that he knows nothing about. Everyone is susceptible to voting from the wrong motives, that's a human thing, not related to expertise | |
| Jun 10, 2023 at 2:04 | comment | added | Ghoster | This is now the highest-voted post on Physics Meta. | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 1:36 | comment | added | Mazura | That's the mistake they realized. I've never played with it because it wants a phone number which is out of the effing question. If there was Ask GPT (which there will be, that I can sign up with a BS email account just like SE) then who needs SE? At some point it won't be wrong anymore and that's when SE ends... but not if it's with it the whole time growing up. | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 1:31 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | @Mazura I’m willing to bet users pasting GPT answers won’t engage with the site the way human users do: if it’s so easy to get an answer from GPT and post it on SE, it’s equally easy for posters to directly query GPT and get their answers directly from there. | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 1:26 | comment | added | Mazura | .... assuming that's where it belongs. That should be up to us, but some of us are idiots. There's no "fix" for this. There's let's keep making money somehow ... : We are graduating the updated button styling for vote arrows so that it looks better on mobile, because anyone using an actual computer has an ad blocker on it and we don't make any money, so screw them. | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 1:10 | comment | added | Mazura | The company knows that this site will die if it doesn't encourage new users. They don't care about people who quit out of spite, nor those who stick around anyway and just put I'm angry tacked onto their name. I think disallowing GPT was a mistake. If any Q&A site on the net was already equipped to handle it, it was SE. I still haven't seen anything anywhere here from GPT. Now there's all sorts of BS Qs going around that mods would've hammered, from humans. Really, all it does it point out the fail of SE which is any idiot can vote. If only "experts" could, gpt would all go in the garbage | |
| Jun 8, 2023 at 12:00 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | @Mazura … as opposed to doing nothing: that will change the situation. The company needs to know the new policy is flawed, wether they change it or not. | |
| Jun 8, 2023 at 4:07 | comment | added | Mazura | "please consider downvoting the new network policy" - if you think that would do anything then you haven't been paying attention. | |

| Jun 2, 2023 at 20:25 | comment | added | Sandejo | @ShadowTheSpringWizard While other sites require 125 to downvote, meta.se only requires 100. | |

| Jun 2, 2023 at 13:25 | comment | added | rob Mod | @kludg There are other websites where humans can ask questions and get computer-generated answers. If the answers are memorable or valuable, there are other websites where they can be shared. Likewise there are other websites where people can ask about bicycle maintenance, or about parenting advice, or about how Tibby is dealing with her time in hospice. We don't do any of those things here; we are not the entire internet. (But since it came up, Tibby is in excellent spirits, and loves visitors and phone calls, even though they make her tired.) | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 12:23 | comment | added | A. B. | @kludg It looks like, this specific posting is talking about undisclosed use of AI. | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 8:57 | comment | added | kludg | Maybe soon humans will be allowed to ask questions only, to be answered by AI. | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 5:15 | comment | added | user28424 | @Ghoster need more than 101 rep to downvote, so vast majority of the users, including those with very high rep on other sires, can't downvote. On the other hand, anyone with as little as 200 rep in one site can upvote. If everyone could downvote, I'm pretty certain is was around -10000 by now. That said, I might start there a feature request to allow downvoting official posts like that even with less than the required reputation. :) | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 2:20 | comment | added | Chris Mod | @Ghoster The visibility is not great since it doesn't appear on the front page once the score gets too low. The cynical part of me wonders if this is a strategy to reduce the blowback a bit. | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 2:06 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @Ghoster - very few participate on the mother Meta. I read but not much more for example. | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 0:22 | comment | added | Ghoster | Fellow members: If you upvote this, please consider downvoting the new network policy. I am astonished that the net vote is not more negative than -163. | |

| Jun 1, 2023 at 21:20 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @Starshipisgoforlaunch - one day would really not surface many issues... | |
| Jun 1, 2023 at 21:11 | comment | added | Starship | I propose going on strike for a day. SE needs to see that it needs its community and not just AI | |
| Jun 1, 2023 at 20:38 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | I don't quite understand why this needs to be a system-wide policy rather than a specific subsite policy. | |
| Jun 1, 2023 at 20:33 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @ShadowTheSpringWizard - well, the sooner the community finds out the better, for better or for worse. | |
| Jun 1, 2023 at 20:00 | comment | added | user28424 | Diamond is taken in 3... 2... 1... | |
| Jun 1, 2023 at 18:41 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Bravo for the stance, I appreciate it! | |
