AI use in this subreddit
This subreddit often gets mail from researchers looking to post links to surveys and questionnaires in our space, which we will always decline because we do not want to put the members of this community at risk of doxxing themselves. Today, we got a message from a university in Germany admitting to having used an AI chat bot to post and comment in this subreddit as part of a study. We were not asked if this community would like to participate, and we were not informed that this "user" was a clanker until months after the fact.
To be clear: We do not allow the use of next word predictive text generators in this space. This is a space for humans to interact with other humans.
To any other humans operating an LLM in this space: fuck off. We don't want your slop machines here.
