The moderators argue in a letter to the company that a new policy from Stack Overflow is "a near-total prohibition on moderating AI-generated content."

    We have this problem in the education space - AI plagiarism detection isn’t reliable at all, but some professors will blindly rely on it to pin students for cheating. Still, as a professor, if the content is wrong, you can mark it as wrong, regardless of where and how it was written. Does anyone know if this policy prohibits removing wrong answers, or is it just that you can’t remove an answer only under the assumption that an AI wrote it?

    There’s also a voting system which I think would discourage anyone who sounds like an AI from posting anyway if they get downvoted regularly. If I’m understanding this right, I think it might actually be the right call, but I’m interested in other perspectives in case I’m missing something.
