content: Effective this week ondiyAudio.comI think it's a great idea, for all of the reasons they mention.---------------------------------------------Message From The Founder:The diyAudio community was built by fanatics, for fanatics. It has always been, and we intend for it to remain, an island of authentic and heartfelt human connection between audiophiles who think outside the box.Recently there has been an increasing amount of AI-generated content (AIGC) being posted on diyAudio.AIGC often appears convincing, even when the content is false, inaccurate, or dangerous. It makes it easy for members to create posts without having the expertise or the willingness to verify the content of those posts. These posts in general are low-effort. They give little and expect much. They devalue the effort other members put into their own posts and replies.No diyAudio member should have to wonder if the post they are reading was written by a human or a computer. To address this, as of today, AI-generated content is not allowed to be posted directly on diyAudio. There are some exceptions, which must be clearly labelled.AI-Generated Content (AIGC) Policy:AIGC is not allowed in posts or attachments on diyAudioIf the moderators think your post contains AIGC, it will be removed.Please avoid using AI to help write your posts. Let's keep it human. Grammar and spelling corrections are ok.Don't quote externally linked AIGC verbatim. Rephrase it in your own words to show your considered thought and understanding.Exceptions:Linking to externally hosted AIGC is ok. Use the  tag to clearly show other members it was created by AI.Translations are allowed, provided AI was not used to create the source or refine the content.Notes:This policy covers all forms of content (text, images, etc).Ignoring this policy may result in infractions, sinbin time, or a ban.This policy is in effect from now until further notice and will be subject to change.Our goal is to do what is best for the health of the community. The intention is not to play a game of whack-a-mole. It's about enshrining the vibe of human connection we want to maintain, and paying respect to the contributions of the humans in our community.We think this is the direction most members would like to see diyAudio take. Let's work together to keep our ship on track and diyAudio the place you want to call home. In the near future, we plan to implement some kind of "report AI" widget in posts, allowing members to help support this policy.---------------------------------------------------------------------

content: I agree with this policy. The whole point of forums is to have real human interaction and share real experience.People who want to get AI-generated content have ample means of getting that these days.

(Not the 50 ohms terminators thou).
