“New EA Forum LLM-use policy” by Toby Tremlett🔹

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago

You are welcome to use AI to help you write posts, but we ask that you disclose it when you do. Not disclosing that your post is AI-assisted could mean a rate-limit or a ban.[1] We won’t enforce this policy for comments and quick takes, though we’d appreciate a norm of disclosure there as well.
We are (and have been) moving more low quality or off-topic writing off of the Frontpage. Fully AI written text is (at time of writing) overwhelmingly likely to be one of these.

Disclosure: If it is likely that there is substantial portions of AI-generated text[2] in your post at time of publishing, you must note this at the top of your post. You are not required to note if you used AI for research/ ideation. If you read a post which seems AI-generated, and you don’t see a disclosure — please report it.
- To help get you started, we added a button to our post editor that provides some example disclosure statements. Like so:
- If you’re unsure if your case applies, feel free to ask the Forum team before publishing.
