Ask HN: Why not allow AI-written posts with a "human disclosure" section?

2 points by amichail ↗ HN
Some research papers already have an "AI disclosure" section where the human authors indicate what they contributed and what the AI contributed to the paper.

AI-written posts on social media could similarly have a "human disclosure" section where the AI indicates what the human user contributed and what the AI contributed to the post.

Note that the content of the "human disclosure" section would be determined and written automatically by the AI based on its conversation with the human user.

What do you think of this idea?

For the idea to even begin to work, an indication of compute effort of the LLM would be essential, even if it was meaningless to those who are not engaged with LLMs. Perhaps the amount of money spent and on what model - that might help those familiar with certain models.

Certainly people wouldn't want to be reading something written by an equivalent compute level of an agent that is attempting to post in a forum that says LLM text not welcome ...

The other issue is LLMs use of writing about topics where the author hasn't sufficient knowledge to catch when there's mistakes. Rule based and heavily documented areas are fairly immune but a lot of everyday matters are not written is such precise terms. Since LLMs use has crept into search results, just in my immediate real world there's been a couple instances of misinformation that's catching those who repeat it as if it's come from a legitimate source - when examining some sources, given the context, those reading know what x is - LLMs would arrive at the correct answer if only someone had written a context guide.

Where is it forbidden? I guess you can ask your agent to register in WordPress and start a blog, but don't give it your credit card number because it's a huge security risk.
