TL;DR: They want the internal AI policy given to moderators to be revealed to the community, and in general want a more open/equal relationship with SO management.
Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker but I can't really figure out if they are against or for AI answers?
They say ChatGPT is s parrot leading to poor quality, so I assume they are against, but Stack Overflow did indeed ban ChatGPT messages? Then they say AI detectors have many false positives, so I guess they are against strong filtering? So what are they for then? This piece needs a tl;dr or bullet list... So yeah I asked our large language friend:
Stances from the text:
A general moderation strike is being initiated.
The strike is in protest of recent and upcoming changes to policy and the platform by Stack Exchange, Inc.
Striking community members will refrain from moderating and curating content.
Critical community-driven anti-spam and quality control infrastructure will be shut down.
The new policy on AI-generated content is harmful and overrides community consensus.
There has been a serious failure to communicate on the part of Stack Exchange, Inc.
AI-generated content poses risks to the integrity of the platform and represents an honesty issue.
Stack Exchange, Inc. has ignored the needs and consensus of the community and made decisions without consulting those most affected.
The striking users want the AI policy change to be retracted or modified to address concerns and empower moderators.
They want the internal AI policy given to moderators to be revealed to the community.
Clear and open communication from Stack Exchange, Inc. regarding policy changes is demanded.
Collaboration with the community instead of fighting it is expected.
Stack Exchange, Inc. should be honest about the company's relationship with the community.
A change in leadership philosophy toward the community is needed.
Leadership should allocate resources based on community needs and involve the community in feature development.
Neglecting and mistreating volunteers can lead to a decrease in goodwill and motivation.
The concerns laid out in the open letter and the post should be addressed to end the strike.
Imho this is the key thing: They want the internal AI policy given to moderators to be revealed to the community, and in general want a more open/equal relationship with SO management.
