Now here is a post by notpetecrowarmstrong that deserves its own thread.....
AI generated responses should be labeled as such....to post otherwise is not being honest and transparent.
Plagiarism is not a nice word....dont give yourself that label.

@stage4lovolmetpc, good idea. @notpetecrowarmstrong I pulled your question about Mayo Clinic Connect's community guidelines about use of AI in posts into its own discussion. It's an important question.

See both the community's
- Term of Use https://connect.mayoclinic.org/terms-of-use/
- Community Guidelines https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/

3. Use AI responsibly.
Alternate: AI (artificial intelligence) tools can help answer questions. These systems collect data and use it to provide simple answers. But the information AI tools provide is not always accurate.

If you share information from AI tools, follow these guidelines:
- Share your real-life, first-hand experiences before you add AI content.
- Make conversation with others a priority over AI-generated replies.
- Always fact-check AI content. You are responsible for the accuracy and relevancy of your posts.
- Ask your AI tool to provide sources and citations.
- If you use AI, use only short, specific quotes from AI along with your personal experience. Avoid long AI-only posts.
- Include the question (prompt) you asked the AI tool.
- Edit AI content to avoid errors, biases or unfair assumptions.
- Be transparent if you use AI text to create your post. For example:
“This post was generated by AI with some human edits. Please check for accuracy.”

Short answer:
Don't post AI. Be human.
