Register or Login to view.If the formal tone of my post gave the impression of an AI-generated text, it is simply because I use translation and formatting tools to ensure my English is clear.
If I had tried to translate from Italian to English myself, I would have definitely made mistakes, just as it happened to me before. Therefore, I have no intention of apologizing for using tools to make myself understood.
We have a prohibition on AI-assistance. There should be a banner on the main page before you sign up. If you go to The Slop Bucket sub-forum, you will see that we regularly ban posts for being AI generated.
We accept that AI can be used as a translation tool, but it should not be allowed to rewrite your posts. When it offers to help with "formatting", that is how slop can creep in, and it also results in the kind of language that makes people think they are talking to a chatbot with you as an intermediary. Neither is good for discussion.
So if you're using a chatbot/LLM like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for your posts here, please use it for strict translation (I presume from Italian to English) of the words you have written, and don't permit it to alter your text any more than that. We would rather have your unformatted words rather than a polished LLM version of them.
Thanks for the warning. From now on I will limit the use of AI strictly to translating parts of the text where a literal translation could lead to misunderstandings. I will make sure it does not rewrite or format my posts anymore.
