Are AI-Generated Solutions Welcomed on programming.dev? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I wanted to start a discussion about the use of AI-generated solutions on Programming.dev. Personally, I've found that AI-powered tools have been incredibly helpful in solving programming questions. I won't name any specific commercial software, but I use one that combines GPT-4 and web search to get more factual information. I write some answers I think I might revisit to the ShareGPT community, but I would prefer posting programming solutions to this instance. However, I'm not sure if AI-generated solutions are welcomed on programming.dev. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. If AI-generated responses are accepted, how should we format the answers, should we just copy paste without quoting, should we quote the model, just mention that it's AI-generated,...?

Yep full support for these points:

  • having to triple check the AI output
  • output is confidently incorrect which furthers the first problem
  • If I want AI answers, I ask the bot directly and thus know how to interpret the result

But: we cannot ensure no AI content is posted as answer. Just putting up the rule that we don't want it.
