I agree with those benefits but there’s no mention here of potential costs? Maybe you don’t think those are significant?
If we’re assuming the post would be good quality, then I don’t expect the costs (to me) to be significant, but I’m open to reasons otherwise. If the posts are sometimes low quality or repetitive, then AI could enable more of them, and that would be bad. I’d lean towards allowing 100% AI written posts and seeing what happens to the EA Forum, i.e. tracking the results and reassessing.
Maybe the voting system, minimum karma to post, and throttling based on recent net negative karma posts/​comments are enough to handle this without negatively affecting engagement. Banning 100% AI-written posts is a blunt tool, and it seems worth trying other things.
