Using ChatGPT to Answer Forum is SPAM and Disrespectful to the Community
Thanks for raising it @AEMWizard
@kautuk_sahni / @Jagpreet_Singh_ : Need your input here, could you please share if using AI/bot is a community guideline violation or not?

Lets just ignore the BOT answers for a minute. We are still a lot of people contributing to the community. These would be multiple answers and sometimes each one is correct+complete.
I would suggest not to get discouraged by accepted answers, but rather focus on the technique that people use to derive answers or how they put their thoughts into words. There is a lot to learn (and trust me because I felt the same initially and then overcame it).
Example:
@EstebanBustamante & @Jörg_Hoh have always to-the-point answers. They won't hesitate to point out if something is wrong with the approach making each reply insightful.
@arunpatidar Has experience with community over multiple years and easily able to understand the question and point to related threads/blogs/solutions.
@sravs @Raja_Reddy @HimanshuPa @Jagadeesh_Prakash @Saravanan_Dharmaraj .... Its difficult to list everyone. But, each one has made the community what it is today. People post questions, when out of options and hope to get solution/direction to take.
You would be surprised how contributing and learning from others would transform your skill-set and attitude in no time.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We understand the frustration it may cause for you and others who contribute genuinely to our community. We recognize the need to address this concern and develop guidelines accordingly. I'll work with my team internally to establish clear guidelines.
It's important to note that while we cannot prohibit the use of generative AI outright, we believe in its responsible utilization to enhance answer quality, not to replace authentic contributions. There should be a balanced approach to it. Users should diligently verify the accuracy and relevance of AI-generated responses before posting them. Generative AI should be used (if used) to enhance the quality of answers but not to answer without checking their accuracy, which could mislead and wrongly guide the original author.
Additionally, to ensure transparency, I propose adding a disclaimer to such answers indicating they are inspired or sourced from generative AI. Our aim is to leverage AI as a tool (if used) for improving the depth and breadth of responses while respecting the expertise and effort of our community members. Your feedback is important as we create guidelines to keep our community discussions fair, transparent, and trustworthy.
Thank you once again for raising this important issue.
Note: Let's maintain the discussion with a supportive and constructive mindset. Please reach out to me directly through DM so we can collaborate on addressing the issue and discussing guidelines. Your suggestions are welcome and appreciated in DM.

Hey @AEMWizard, I understand your point and empathize with your feelings. I've even commented on some posts that aren't entirely accurate to clarify. However, I believe there's a valuable lesson to be learned from this situation. I'm confident that as a community, we can collaborate and come up with a good solution. Perhaps we can discuss this further with @kautuk_sahni @Jagpreet_Singh_ in our next community call.
I also want to express gratitude to all the people here in the community who truly spend hours trying to help others. Beyond the trophy list, I think we should find peace in knowing that we are doing good and giving back to the community.
Thank you all for the kind words spread on this post for all the community advisors.
Cheers!
Esteban Bustamante
