Another person copying an article from ChatGPT.
Hello!
I dont think it's reaally neccessary to mention that, everyone here knows about chatgpt, the author might have drafted his points and ask chatgpt to correct some of the points.
Otherwise the article is absolutely helpful.
You can see other posts to confirm that this indeed is ChatGPT-generated content scaling. Dev.to is a platform where humans collaborate and share their experiences.
If the articles are created using ChatGPT, what’s the point of people even browsing dev.to? They could simply generate the content themselves using ChatGPT or other large language models (LLMs). This undermines the human aspect of dev.to. Moreover, the content generated by LLMs is often unreliable.
The fact that they included CodeProject as a forum makes me think they simply handed in a prompt, copied the response from an LLM, and added a few images in between.
AI is useful for proofreading and improving written content, but when it comes to straight-up generating articles, I don’t believe it’s necessary. If this trend continues, dev.to risks becoming a spam-filled site dominated by AI-generated content.
It seems to me that using artificial intelligence is not a ban in the modern world.
Don't you use AI?
Why do you think that I added these communities to the text not from my experience?
Yes, I used AI in order to better shape it so that it would be easy to read.. But that doesn't mean that you can blame me.
Thank you!
You're right but also remember some of the rules of this platform. BE KIND TO OTHERS, you better find a polite way to help the author and anyone else without making them feel bad, here we help eachother we don't judge like the way you dropped your comment:
dev.to/kavya-sahai-god/comment/2ko...
Help the author clearly so that next time he knows what to do exactly.
Okay, thanks for your comment on that. I guess I'm being too direct in my statements
Thank you! Yes, I am in these communities and actively use some of them, and the use of AI in my case is only for better presentation and readability of the text!
Maybe you may also need to improve your own way of welcome other devs to the community! We are here to learn and to help eachother kindly
