Guidelines for AI-Assisted Content
AI-assisted and -generated articles are allowed on Outsource IT Community, so long as they follow these guidelines:
AI-assisted and -generated articles should…
- Be created and published in good faith, meaning with honest, sincere, and harmless intentions.
- Disclose the fact that they were generated or assisted by AI in the post, either upfront using the tag #ABotWroteThis or at any point in the article’s copy (including right at the end). – For example, a conclusion that states “Surprise, this article was generated by ChatGPT!” or the disclaimer “This article was created with the help of AI” would be appropriate.
- Ideally add something to the conversation regarding AI and its capabilities. Tell us your story of using the tool to create content, and why!
AI-assisted and -generated articles should not…
- Promote any business, program, or course (including your own).
- Be published with the intent to confuse, deceive, or bamboozle its readers.
- Be published with the main purpose of building a personal brand, building a social media presence, or gaining clout.
- Contain educational content or information generated by AI because you, the human author, did not already know it to some degree. AI is great for assistance with English syntax for a variety of reasons, but if you don’t already know or understand the concept you’re writing about, please do not rely on the machine to “know” it for you.
Commenting Guidelines
- In order to support a strong sense of human community on the site, we ask that you not use bots or AI to generate comments on posts, whether the post was published by you or another community member. The exceptions to this rule are basic translation and grammar/syntax improvement tools, such as Google Translate, Grammarly, or any tool used for Assistive Technology (AT) purposes.
- If you notice a mistake or bad practice in a post that is disclosed to be AI-generated or -assisted, we encourage you to call it out (kindly, of course!).
