In my language pairs Oct 27, 2023

A few linguists who are native in neither the source nor target language answered questions using AI once in a while. In a few cases, their answers were chosen as the best by the askers. It is not a problem at all for those answers to be awarded KudoZ points. It could be problematic if you decline to award points to the best answer only because it is AI-generated.

I often answers without any references as most useful Oct 27, 2023

Answers without references/sources are rarely worth my attention.

It is often the case that the asker has exhausted on-line resources for a term they have difficulty translating, and it may be precisely because they couldn't find any references/sources that they turn to KudoZ for help. For this kind of questions, it is highly likely that an answerer wouldn't be able to find any references/sources either, but this fact wouldn't rule out the possibility that he or she would still provide a sound/valid solution.

I often award points to answerers who don't provide any references. Likewise, my answers not backed up by any references are often chosen as the most helpful. References are not always needed, although they are good to have.

Accept it. Nov 1, 2023

I have a suspicion that some translators on this site are using ChatGPT (or similar) to generate answers in Kudoz that they then present as their own.

Would it be useful to add a tick box or something similar to have users declare that this is their own answer, not a machine-generated text?


Useful? Ideally, yes. Though the people who resort to (and perhaps tweak) Linguee, DeepL and ChatGPT probably won't admit it. Would be embarrassing. Silly, too good et al.
