Should content appearing on Planet Drupal have content notices if they are generated using AI such as ChatGPT?

Created on 19 September 2024, 8 months ago

While browsing through the Planet feed today I noticed a blog post included that appears to have been mostly ChatGPT generated. Whilst I'm not opposed to AI-generated content, I did wonder if Drupal Planet should have a requirement for sites to clearly state where an AI has been used to generate the content.

The main issue I foresee is that AI-generated code is not always correct and doesn't always follow best practice. The most useful posts in Drupal Planet are the ones that open up a new door to people to learn something or think about things in a different way, offering something unique. If a person can just crack open ChatGPT themselves, is a content item actually valuable?

The post I noticed was https://www.lnwebworks.com/Insight/custom-form-drupal-block

    I think it should be a requirement of posting on Drupal Planet - publishers should have to disclose any use of AI in the authoring of the post and/or images used in the post.

    We (the Drupal community) could even provide suggested text or badging that publishers could use.

    I agree, labelling AI generated content as such would be a great feature, since it would be really useful as a Planet Drupal reader to know whether to skip an article, or not -- depending on your stance about AI content.

    Also, adding a parent issue.

    Here's the text of an AI disclosure that will appear on a future DrupalEasy blog post that will go to Drupal Planet:

    AI was used to create the initial outline for this blog post using DrupalEasy's Professional Module Development curriculum as the source material. We support AI disclosure statements on all content that is posted to Drupal Planet Should content appearing on Planet Drupal have content notices if they are generated using AI such as ChatGPT?

    In which cases should the disclaimer be shown? Should it be shown when text has been generated by AI, or even when images have been generated by AI?

    Where should the disclaimer be shown and how much space should it take?

    @avpaderno all valid questions to which I have no answers.

    But, we need to collect input and samples before deciding the best path forward.

    When it comes to examples, here is one that we just started experimenting with:

    We use this at the end of each blog post right before the comments. So far, there has been no feedback, neither positive nor negative.

    And regarding @avpaderno about images, I would expect a similar disclosure. In fact, it should apply to content in general.

    I'd also like to add that the disclosure should be part of the body text field, and not a separate block on the website. This is to make sure that it will be contained in RSS feeds as well.

    I asked where the disclaimer should be shown because placing it at the beginning of the article would make it appear on Planet Drupal for each article, which would subtract space for the articles.
    A smallish image which links to a disclaimer page could help to give more space for the article, while still letting people know the article has been written basing on the output given by an AI. If then the code shown in the article is produced via an AI, the image could have a different background color, so people would notice that.

    I agree the text/image should be given in the article itself, and not in a block rendered in a different theme region, since the disclaimer could not be noticed, and it would not be shown on Planet Drupal.

    To make it clear, I am not against a disclaimer. As Planet Drupal maintainer, I just hope not to see issues created because an article did not have the disclaimer.
