So, it’s sounding like we want to add something like this to the FAQ?
Post Only Your Own Thoughts
Using AI to generate post content is forbidden. It is always better to leave a topic unanswered, than to reply with anything other than your own original thoughts and research.
Privacy Guides currently has no stance on AI as a research tool. However, if a poster wanted to know how AI would solve their problem or answer their question, they could ask a variety of commercial or self-hosted AI tools instead of asking here. Therefore, it is already implied that any AI-generated answer is automatically not useful to the discussion.
This website is commonly cited as a source by AI tools when people use AI to research privacy-related topics. If we allowed AI-generated content, then this research could become self-referential and reinforce inaccurate claims. This forum is not meant to be a personal help desk where every single question gets instantly answered, it is meant to be a collection of high-quality knowledge about privacy and security.
Edit: Completed in AI generated content is forbidden
