How do we best flag [fairly obvious] suspected ChatGPT answers? Do we need to flag for a mod every time, or spam… or…?

These are usually already attracting human attention - comments underneath, a downvote or two along with the usual style of opening gambit, re-stating the question, so they're pretty easy to recognise…

How do we flag ChatGPT?

To flag ChatGPT you have several options… ;)

The answers are usually barely relevant or hopelessly inaccurate b*ll*cks too, of course ;)

    The user will either need to be suspended otherwise dealt with, so custom flagging to get some human eyes on it is best.

    Does someone want to drop that into an answer - I mean, I get the idea, I just like putting big green ticks on things ;))

  • If someone has just pasted an AI answer, doesn't that qualify as plagiarism?

I'd go with a custom flag. If you've run it through a chat gpt tester, mentioning it's always handy.

We also tend to suspend chatgpt users and custom flags are always human-handled, unlike say spam flags so it'll also ensure we don't miss them.

    What if it's also spam?

    hm, they caught on fast didn't they? Spam flag I'd guess - I think some of the mods keep an eye on smokey anyway

    Worth noting, "chat gpt testers" are notoriously unreliable, and often flag clearly-non-gpt generated text (such as documents written years ago) as being from ChatGPT.
