Discussion about AI-generated content

I appreciate the responses from @scubamuc and @bb77 – it was good to see someone step in when things started heading in the wrong direction. And thanks for linking back to my earlier explanation about using AI – I wrote that post specifically to be transparent about it.

Yes, I use AI. I’ve never hidden that, and I don’t see anything wrong with it. In my case, it’s just a writing assistant – helping with structure, clarity, and phrasing. All real-world setups, testing, and configurations are done by me – the AI doesn’t touch my server :slight_smile:

Honestly, what surprises me more is how little effort some users put into asking for help. If they used AI themselves to properly describe their problem, it would save everyone a lot of time. Too often, people post vague questions, and we then have to go back and ask for basic details that should’ve been there from the start.

What’s even worse is when users completely ignore the template that moderators and admins have put in place to make support easier for everyone. Posting one random sentence and expecting a solution isn’t a great approach – with or without AI.

Lastly – apologies for the off-topic tangent. This has gone beyond the scope of the original thread, and it’s best not to drag it on further.

Let’s leave it there and get back to focusing on Nextcloud.
