Rules Updated — AI and LLM Content

[admin]

AI generated content is now ubiquitous. To ensure CairnTalk remains focused on person-person discussion and to provide guidance and parameters as to how or when AI generated content can be used the site rules have been updated to address use of AI and Large Language Model generated content.

13. AI and Large Language Model Generated Content

CairnTalk is for people to talk to each other: people who have Cairns, had Cairns, might someday have Cairns, or are simply interested in Cairn Terriers. The use of AI generated content on CairnTalk is discouraged in general, strictly prohibited in some circumstances, and permitted with conditions in others.

• What is Forbidden: any text content that is AI or LLM generated that is not clearly identified as to nature and source. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, your own self-developed tool, whatever; name your source. If there is the slightest possibility that a reader might mistake any AI generated content in your post as your own words, you may be moderated or banned. Any attempt to circumvent will be treated as fraudulent posting, regardless of the truth or usefulness of the posted content.
• What is Permitted, with Conditions: you may use or post AI generated images with or without attribution provided that you are not fraudulently representing the image as something it is not. An image used for illustrative or entertainment purposes is OK; a photorealistic image that might be mistaken for a genuine photo must be referenced to the AI tool that generated it; any image fraudulently misrepresenting its origin as to artist is forbidden. Any attempt to circumvent will be treated as fraudulent posting.
