Hello everyone,
Abhishek @abhishek has created a topic with very interesting questions.
I will give my opinion on this subject and try to answer Abhishek.
Whether we like it or not, AI has become an “indispensable” tool in our daily lives.
This is a random example, but I just want to demonstrate some technological evolution.
In the past, when “I” (I’m speaking in the abstract) didn’t know the meaning of a word, I used a dictionary; years later, I searched on Google; now I “use” AI - it’s the trend to use what is easiest, which gives us “a more elaborate answer,” and we only need to copy/paste if we need to use the answer.
Of course, we must always question the answer, just as we must question the answers we find when searching the internet.
About using AI in the forum
I believe that all of us, when mentioning research carried out on AI and posting it in the forum, for example, our friend Rosika, but I could mention any other user, are careful to mention the source of the information.
I believe that we all do this consciously only when we don’t know how to help in any other way.
I will give a concrete example that happened to me recently here on the forum, to help a user who had no audio from their webcam.
I reached a point in the topic where I didn’t know how to help anymore. I had to study, search the internet, and use AI, in other words, everything at my disposal to be able to respond.
Although I used AI, all the answers I gave, if memory serves me right, I tested on my PC and some answers on both my PC and laptop.
In other words, I tested what I learned on my PC, saw that there were no problems with the code, or changed what was actually wrong and posted it on the forum.
Although I used AI, all the answers were personal.
On the other hand, I believe we are all careful about placing links in topics.
A few days ago, we were flooded with “information” from some users.
I was suspicious because of the long texts, some of which seemed to be taken from AI, but since it is not always easy for some users to post on the forum, I genuinely thought it might be a way to post and even gave some likes. I stopped doing so when I got fed up.
In this forum, we have always been careful to provide the most reliable information possible, and when possible, we have always mentioned it, without being ashamed to say so.
If it has to become an obligation, I fully agree, so that the forum can continue with the same spirit of mutual help as always. Otherwise, we no longer need a forum, we can just use AI.
