| Sep 21 at 10:33 | comment | added | Fedor Petrov | Are you sure that the users who post AI-generated answers and questions are human themselves? I thought that some robots create new users and post answers in order to learn math. | |
| Sep 20 at 19:18 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Note that our Help Center currently states that AI-generated content is allowed on MO, as long as you disclose which AI you used to generate it. | |
| Sep 20 at 5:21 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | I wouldn't trust an LLM to correctly translate mathematical prose. One should be able to check that the software hasn't hallucinated and made up nonsense. | |
| Sep 19 at 13:25 | comment | added | HenrikRüping | I think that AI generated answers can be OK as long as it is stated, that it is an AI generated answer and that the user clearly states what the user has done to verify its correctness. Why someone would post an AI generated question is beyond me, well maybe it is a good way for non-native English speakers to improve the grammar. Maybe I should try it. | |

| Sep 13 at 6:23 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | It is probably worth reminding that it is possible to post on MO also without registration. Registration to ask questions was discussed but rejected: Should MathOverflow require registration to ask a question? I do not recall any discussion about registration to answer questions here on MO. | |
| Sep 13 at 6:22 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | There are also other options where this information could be placed. One option would be to include this in the banner, which was discussed here: Should there be a banner with some basic info about MO in the right sidebar? MO has FAQ here on meta - although looking at some of them suggests they are no longer maintained. And possibly this could be also included in the help center. | |
