AI forum rules clarification question

[Zee09]

I had a AI Google search screen capture deleted. It said no AI allowed.

Does that mean a url to AI isn't allowed either? Thanks

We do not allow any AI generated content whatsoever.

You may discuss it; you may not use it to generate text, images, etc for display here on BITOG.

People post "Google's AI search results says...." quite frequently. Are you deleting those ?

Why would we want AI content to be censored? What does the restriction do to enhance discussions of oil and automotive topics?

Google does not like to find AI generated content on useful sites. Google likes useful content generated by real humans.

Is that so that they can harvest that human generated data to use for their AI?

Your guess is as good as mine.

I feel like AI content should be allowed (but kept to a minimum) , but the poster must post a disclaimer that it is AI generated content.

I wish you could turn off that AI Google search answer that comes up first.

I'll go a bit in-depth here. There is no harm in having our members understand the basics of our operations. And this somewhat ties into an explanation I had given a few weeks back in another thread.

BITOG is a website dinosaur that continues to survive thrive in a social-media-outlet driven world. The reason this is true is because the world of internet giants like the Google-Monster (as I call it) create ratings and valuations based on their own internal criteria, which we are not privy to. But what we do know is that the value BITOG presents is very, very highly rated based on search results and traffic driven to our site. Most simply put, we don't know the formulas they use, but we do understand the final result. Hence, the summation we come to is that our rules and daily operations greatly satisfy the Google-Monster, or else we'd not be nearly as successful as we have been, and intend to be. The G-M scores many things, such as:
- original content
- human content
- spelling
- grammar
- traffic volume
- activity rate
- relevance to outside interests
- etc ...
Conversely, the G-M derates AI generated content and it reflects poorly in scoring. Hence, we don't allow any AI generated content. You are welcome to discuss AI; you can have human conversations about AI topics such as the development of AI, the pace of AI advancement, the benefits and risks of AI, etc.
But DO NOT POST ANY AI GENERATED CONTENT; not pictures, images, articles, studies, text, memes, avatars, conversation screenshots, etc ...
Disclaimers do not matter; they will not assuage you from scrutiny, and violations will be dealt with.

Why do we have such strict rules? So BITOG will continue to exist. If we all cherish our time on BITOG, we'll abide by the controls which are in place. It's that simple.

If you see them, please "Report" them for review. We only have 8 Mods to oversee more than 80,000 members; do the math - we can't be everywhere at once. We count on the membership self-policing; you help us run a good site when you "Report" stuff you know to be in violation of our rules.

Yes - we have deleted any post that quotes AI. If you use your words, and summarize, that will likely stay up.

But quote AI directly? It’s coming down.

That was the type of post that was deleted.
To avoid things like this in the future I just needed clarification and will refrain from doing so.

 

[ZeeOSix]

A lot of Google AI search results for oil and filter info shows it got it from BITOG threads. Should it be trusted?

 

[burbguy82]

Wow this is a deep conversation.

How would one "quote AI".....or even further, how would one even know IF they were doing such as thing?

Google prefers valuable content created by real people, not AI generated material. It rewards content that's genuinely helpful and human made.
