AI Content Posters could be harming your forum!

[Shawn Gossman]

Found an interesting article about how content scaling is problematic for Google and search engines in general.

Here's what Google is saying:

“The lowest rating applies if all or almost all of the MC on the page (including text, images, audio, videos, etc) is copied, paraphrased, embedded, auto or AI generated, or reposted from other sources with little to no effort, little to no originality, and little to no added value for visitors to the website. Such pages should be rated Lowest, even if the page assigns credit for the content to another source.”

So, if someone on your forum is posting AI-generated content and Google detects it, no matter if they leave credit or not (99.999% of the time, they don't leave credit), it may give your forum a lower ranking.

So, what can we do about it? I'd almost think adding AI-generation content creation rules and banning might be a solution. What do you all think?

reddit is also ai it to translate a lot of their posts, which is deemed “scaled content abuse”, but since it’s reddit”, they get away with it.
