| Jul 1, 2023 at 2:14 | comment | added | ggorlen | In other words, based on the company's actions, "need more clarity in how AI is detected" is an excuse for them to axe the ban so they can roll out AI hype features and boost post quantity, presumably to make their investors happy and get their numbers back up. I don't see any evidence that they value well-moderated, quality content over AI, or we'd be in a totally different situation now and there'd be no need to strike. | |
| Jul 1, 2023 at 1:59 | comment | added | ggorlen | "I believe Stack Exchange has a point, and we need more clarity in how AI is detected, and under what circumstances AI posts needs moderation." That's not what Stack Exchange has done though. They've hidden policies and prevented moderators from doing anything to enforce their temporary AI ban that's still in effect. If they had a vested interest in keeping crap off of SE, they'd keep allowing moderators to do exactly that. Instead, since the mod ban, they've made no visible progress. Instead, they introduced prompt engineering SE and an AI question "helper" experiment/joke. | |

They also don't have a good history of taking reasonable actions (Monica, development priorities, etc.). The mod council was disbanded, and the endless "when will StackExchange stop abusing us?" meta posts are not achieving anything; it seems the only way to get the company to listen is by striking. Hopefully they will learn their lesson this time and will not try to force poorly-conceived policies on the communities in future. | |
