Updated the FUG today.

 

 

Perhaps I'm being pedantic here (I've been accused of it a few times ;-)

 

But the 3rd FUG-AI rule contradicts the 1st.

 

It also removes the opportunity to diss AI silliness - because we can't quote it.
Perhaps we need a 'fair use' exemption ? 

 

 

I read this and then I read the FUG.

 

I think the intention is that you can use AI to fix up your post so grammar, spelling and basic formatting is OK. It's anything beyond that would be possibly breaking the FUG.

Link to the FUG, if anyone else found themselves needing to look it up:

 

Geekzone Forum Usage Guidelines (FUG)

 

 

 

To me, the point of the rule is to not purely drop the slop as I'm sure it will be OK if the slop is the subject of discussion and not being provided as an answer to something.  Doing that just makes you look like you don't know the answer and went to AI to try and (usually fruitlessly) contribute or worse, the equivalent of providing a LMGTFY link.
