Let's spin the [wheel] for ideas on how to handle this tag!
Yes, but (a) creating debs and snaps for Ubuntu are relevant questions for us, but creating Python wheels would in general be something to be asked on Stack Overflow (as opposed to simply installing them, which would be covered by software-installation and python), and (b) tags that nobody follows and curates are how we end up in situations like this in the first place

A user deletes their answer and posts the same question as a new post and self answers
Even if they did modify it, as the original content was CC-BY-SA, they'd have to provide attribution even when creating a derivative work, or they'd be in violation of the license.

How should we clean up the [kvm] tag?
Mods can rename tags (and IIRC it's possible to make the old tag name a synonym as well when renaming), so renaming to kernel-virtual-machine while keeping kvm as a synonym might also be a good idea

I'd suggest renaming kvm to kvm-virtualization so that the context is clear, because in practice I've never heard anyone say "kernel virtual machine". It will also contrast nicely with kvm-switch

Ban ChatGPT and AI-generated answers on Ask Ubuntu?
@C.S.Cameron "The punishment of those that use ChatGPT for good and those that use it for evil. As severe as the punishments that andrew.46 refers to. – C.S.Cameron 4 hours ago"

@C.S.Cameron why would that be the case? How did you come to that conclusion?

@C.S.Cameron whose? As severe as what?

However, problems of detection don't and shouldn't prevent us from enacting a policy to ban such zero-effort spam.

Ban ChatGPT and AI-generated answers on Ask Ubuntu?
@ArturMeinild that is the tricky part, admittedly. you can post the same question and see if it generates similar correct-looking but actually incorrect BS. And the ones that make me suspicious of being generated so far (across users and sites) have this odd pattern of repeating the same thing in different words multiple times in the same answer.

I'm certain there has already been one such case on Unix & Linux and possibly one more going on right now.

I think you and @ArturMeinild are both missing what's actually happening. The people and posts we're talking of banning aren't those who're using ChatGPT for spell-checking or polishing answers they wrote themselves. They're posting the questions to ChatGPT and copy-pasting the generated answer wholesale here without any attempt whatsoever to verify if the answer is correct. And while users certainly generate OK-looking BS on their own, ChatGPT enables to generate this BS fast enough to hit any and all rate limits. And worse, ChatGPT is quite good at generating correct-looking BS

How should I paste from my terminal?
I'd like to add to what @Zanna said with the note that screenshots should only be used when the appearance of something is the problem (e.g., the colours due to permissions, but not the permissions themselves; or the effect of output of some special control charcater, etc.)

Why isn't everybody allowed to upvote?
Also, once you get 200 rep on any SE site, you get 100 rep on all sites, so that's all you need for upvoting on any SE site - get 200 rep in any one.

Are Ubuntu Pro support questions off-topic?
I think this boils down to what we mean by "support" - "support" as in "help or guidance in doing something" would be something we could do, but "support" as in "this shit is broken, fix it" is not something we can do.
