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.
