Higher ranking mods will ultimately have more of a say on this, but I propose a ban on using AI to write articles. It is very prone to errors, bad for the environment, and in blatant violation of many copyright laws. I think it goes against the spirit of the wiki, which is to have a database compiled by people working together. If you need a machine to churn out the articles for you, where's the fun and sense of community in that?

I would do a poll, but it doesn't seem to be letting me embed one in this post, so you can discuss in the comments. Keep in mind, higher ranking mods have the ultimate say, and let's keep it civil, please.
UPDATE: Per the moderators' decision, AI is now banned.
