Should I be reporting AI-generated nonsense responses?

In instances where they don't answer the question, or where they answer it incorrectly, I have been reporting these. Should I keep doing so?

Does the ST community have a stance on whether or not AI-generated reponses are allowed? Is that stance in the guidelines and if not, can we put it there?

For example, clearly this is ChatGPT generated nonsense:

Another one, same thread even.

At first glance it seems like these answer the question, but they fall apart under inspection. These two are obvious, some are less so.

    Thank you very much for reporting AI generated spam! We are now able to automatically block and remove a lot of URL posting spammers. But recognising AI spam interspersed in threads is still a challenge from time to time.

    We are happy to receive reports from users of the respective threads, who should now also be informed by the community by email if this is allowed in their settings.

    Thanks again and happy hunting spam!

    Regards
    /Peter

    @Laurids_PETERSEN, not related to this thread materially but related to Andrew's above suggestion, can the list also contain "not inappropriate content, but in inappropriate forum" option (i.e. a suggestion to move given thread to a more appropriate place)?

    Thanks,

    JW

      As with AI stuff, I currently put that under 'Something else'.

        Hello @Tesla DeLorean , @waclawek.jan , all, 

        I want to assure that all abuse reports we review daily and take respective actions.

        For all other reasons and that are not falling under the suggested ones, choose "Something else" and provide a short action/comments you think is necessary and we will take it further. 

        I am looking into possibility to add a couple of personalized reasons but can not promise you when and how this could be implemented. I will get back once there are more news on this. 

        Thanks a lot for your contributions on this topics,
        Lina
