"Post removed due to generative AI."

[Philipp Krause]

Tody I got an email notification: "The post Re: Is STM8 recomended for beginners? was moved by Maxime_MARCHETTO1. Reason: Post removed due to generative AI. Explanation: Breach of the ST Community guidelines for AI content use case: https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/why-predominantly-ai-generated-posts-and-replies-on-the-st/ta-p/633785"

I have never used AI to generate any text for a forum post, neither on this nor on any other forum. I cannot see which post was removed, since the link to the removed post just gives me an "Access Denied" error page.

The linked Community Guidelines only state that AI-generated posts will be removed, and "in some cases" the users banned. However, I see no information on how ST determines if a post is AI-generated, how users can appeal decisions, how false positives of whatever mechanism ST uses will be handled.

Hello @Philipp Krause,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

The notification you received was to inform you that a post in the conversation you engaged in has been removed, because it was not aligned with our guidelines regarding AI.

The link shared in this email notification leads to the removed post, which is why you saw the message "Access Denied" when you tried accessing it.

You are not the user who didn't follow the guideline. Therefore, your posts are still visible in the thread:

The notification is sent to users who engaged in the conversation to avoid confusion. However, I understand that it can in fact lead to it. I will keep that in mind to improve our communication moving forward.

Regarding your concerns about AI content identification and the related process, we use specialized software to assist us in detecting AI-generated posts. All AI-related cases are handled on a case-by-case basis, and users always have the option to appeal decisions and request further clarification

Once again thank you for your feedback and wishing you a happy New Year.

Best regards,
Maxime
