I would like to add the following: Last year we had a chatbot in our Gentoo forum that posted 76 posts on 2024-12-19. An inexperienced moderator (me) then asked his colleagues on the basis of which forum rules we can ban this chatbot: "Do we have a rule somewhere that an AI and a chatbot are not allowed to log in? I have read our Guideĺines ( https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-525.html ) and found no such prohibition. On what basis could we even block a chatbot ?" The answer from two experienced colleagues was that this is already covered by our forum rules, because chatbots usually cannot (yet) fulfill the requirements of a forum post and therefore violate our Guideĺines. To be honest, I asked myself at the time what would happen if we had a clearly recognizable AI as a user that made (reasonably) sensible posts. We would then have no chance of banning this AI user without an explicit prohibition. I would be much more comfortable if we clearly communicated that we do not accept an AI as a user. Yes, I would also be very happy to see this proposal implemented. -- Best regards, Peter (aka pietinger)
