Subject: Concern Regarding the Use of AI on the Forum

Dear IOSH Forum Administrators

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the increasing use of artificial intelligence-generated content on the [Forum Name].

While I understand that AI can be a useful tool for generating responses and facilitating discussions, I believe its presence on the forum is beginning to undermine the authenticity and integrity of member interactions. Many posts now appear to be generated by AI rather than reflecting genuine human experience or opinion, which detracts from the value of the community and the trust we place in each other’s contributions.

Specifically, I’ve noticed:

  • A lack of personal insight or nuance in many replies.
  • Repetitive or overly generic responses that do not address the original question meaningfully.
  • A decline in meaningful engagement and discussion.
  • An increase in posts which are statements and not actually requests for help

Forums thrive on real human perspectives, shared experiences, and thoughtful dialogue. I respectfully urge the moderation team to consider implementing clearer guidelines or limitations on the use of AI-generated content, or at least require users to disclose when a post has been created or assisted by AI.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate the work you do to maintain the quality and integrity of the forum and hope this feedback is taken in the spirit of constructive improvement.

(The irony is i have used AI to write this!!!!)

In fact the AI generated posts are better than the old school bot produced rubbish, which are simply ads with no relation to H&S. At least these touch on our subjects. The problem is they are not always obviously AI generated. You can spend time thinking of a response only to realise that it is AI generated after they include some Americanisms etc. some might actually be honest attempts by people whose first language is not English trying to get information.

As the amount of AI content increase there will be a tendency for the thread to be initiated by AI and then all the responses to be generated by AI  which rather defeats the object of a public forum.

socialmedia@iosh.comThanks Peter, no have not got round to it, it just ticked my silly bone that AI would actually tell me the problems with itself.

Hi,

I have developed 4 new AI generated apps. All in beta phase. Two have been published for review of which i have supplied the URL for testing. Feedback would be great. Both are aimed at the CDM regulations the first is aan Audit protocol and the second is an Method Statement Risk Assessment correlation, driven by HSE.ex accident statistics, relvant codes, predictions etc. My website www.chesms.co.uk can be visited regarding an occupational hygiene app and an environmental app regarding chemical analysis and toxicology.

UKRSA
Client and PC First Line of Defence - Published Beta Version
This application allows structured Client and PC Auditing generating auditor questions aligned with UK and South Africa law. You control the the number of questions per audit. You may preset what questions will be asked on the next audit, generate a report, store and retrieve such audits, track conpletion, email to recipients completed audits. Complete CDM Auditor to test Planning, Managing, Monitoring and Coordinating a construction project.

https://safety-first-uk-a321a20e.base44.app

CDM Risk Assessment Correlation
Correlation analysis for construction compliance (Beta)
Each Method Statement and Risk Assessment should be specific to the task. This app tests that very comparison. Identify's against UK Accident Data Bases, the goodness of fit, identifies hazards missed, predicts areas that could be possibly fatal, have disabling injuries and even non disabling injuries. Provides suggestion to help prevent these identified gaps from occurring. With the power of a huge AI supported database, an AI generated report is possible.

https://cdm-correlate-716fbdd2.base44.app

Paste the URL and go to app to try

Best regards

Shane, are you from Safety First UK a private consultancy? This look suspiciously like your trying to hide an advert? This is against forum rules.

I will attempt to contact them to see if they could change. I have my own consultancy. Thanks for picking this up and the feedback. The apps at present as i have stated are purely built by me, and any association with Safety First UK is not good for my hard work gone into building these apps, regards
