As is commonly the case, I probably got carried away in my other answer. Let's see if I can propose a simple policy for ChatGPT usage on Ask Ubuntu that could be expressed in the Help:
ChatGPT (and general AI tool) usage policy on Ask Ubuntu
Users are not allowed to post answers directly generated by ChatGPT or other similar AI tools. Offenders may be warned, and repeat or frequent ChatGPT postings may result in a ban.
If you are able to answer a question on your own, you may use ChatGPTAI tools to assist in wording or to suggest improvements to your answer. If you choose to do so, you should, to the best of your ability:
- Confirm that the answer is correct and works
- Understand the answer that you are posting
- Correct any issues that could reasonably be identified
- Communicate the answer in your own words
- Reply to follow-up questions/comments about your answer
- Warn of corner cases or potential issues if needed
- Cite any reliance on third-party sources such as ChatGPT for the answer
AI tools such as ChatGPT may be used for accessibility purposes such as voice-to-text transcription.
AI tools may be used to suggest grammar improvements for your own posts and to make suggested edits to posts with poor grammar. However, as with any edit, take care not to change the meaning of another user's post.
Note: ChatGPT was used to suggest slight improvements in readability and conciseness to this policy. Some suggestions were used, while others were rejected
