<ol> <li>Any text you didn't write yourself must be set off in a quote box and attributed. I believe this is already existing policy, and applies regardless of where the quoted text came from (like another person or an AI). Failing to properly quote and attribute others' words as your own is plagiarism, and should be punished beyond just post deletion. The punishment should be suspension from a day or two to a month depending on circumstances as judged by the moderator. The egregiousness of the infraction, and the general attitude and previous history of the user are to be taken into account. Multiple repeated violations should result in permanent account suspension. Again, we should generally leave the severity of the punishment to the moderator's judgement. <li>When quoting any non-definitive source, whether AI or not, the quoting should be minimal and accompanied by discussion that adds its own value. Non-definitive quotes are not content, but can be useful for spurring a response or providing context to an explanation. Answers that are mostly non-definitive quotes are not useful and should not be allowed. <li>All AI-generated content is non-definitive. A definitive source is one that relies on the reputation of someone with the proper credentials or experience to be significantly more credible than an average person. </ol>
