Useful scripts

[kpedersen]

I see an AI post on a forums as being the same etiquette as posting a google link. I.e:

https://www.google.com/search?q=scripts

But sometimes (admittedly fairly rarely) that is valid. If its a complex or non-intuitive search, likewise if it is a complex query and it took a while to stage the issue within the LLM context.

People here (myself included) got frustrated by one guy spamming a bunch of reddit links. As always everything is fine in moderation.

Nevertheless, a forum is definitely not the place to post AI generated content.

I find it useful to find out whether any of it is correct.

Sometimes it is partially correct and people here can point out errors in the AI generated advice.

I disagree, AI has helped me out numerous times. It doesn't always give me the correcr solution but often points me in the correct direction.

You misunderstood.
I did not say, "Don't use AI!"
I said, "Please, stop posting AI generated stuff here in the forums!"
That's quite a difference.

That's quite a difference.

I often post AI stuff here to find out what is wrong with it because it frequently contains errors.
