MNHQ do you allow AI generated threads here?

Not a TAAT(s) but there have been some quite unusual threads on here lately. Would MNHQ ever authorise AI generated content for training LLMs or authorise academic or other organisations from using MN content in research or training of LLMs?

Can you assure us that we’re at least responding to a human when we post on threads please :)

Thank you

Hi there,

We don't use AI to generate posts and were we to identify a poster as a bot (most likely because users would notice it), we'd remove those posts and block the poster.

We agree that Mumsnet's strength is that you get highly nuanced and varied responses based on lived experience.

Hi again @AccountCreateUsername .

LilyMumsnet did say much earlier in the thread "We don't use AI to generate posts and were we to identify a poster as a bot (most likely because users would notice it), we'd remove those posts and block the poster.".

Apologies if we're misunderstanding here, but we thought that had answered your question about whether bots are removed.

In terms of AI, we can't stop genuine users using AI to help write their post, in the same way as they might use it to generate an email, but we would certainly remove anything where it was clear someone was not here on a genuine ticket. A brand new poster spamming the boards with nonsense or with an agenda is a different kettle of fish to a Mumsnetter who has been here decades but has difficulty with words and makes use of AI to help organise their thoughts. We don't think that's what you're talking about here really, but just thought it was worth being clear that we don't automatically delete anything that sounds slightly stilted. We'd always investigate first.

Hope that helps explain further.
