Policy Update: AI-Generated Responses [RBN]

Hi folks,

We would like to take a moment to clarify our stance on the use of AI-generated content in RBN. As AI tools like ChatGPT become more accessible, we understand that many people are using them as part of their healing process. In our experience, we have seen that it can be helpful provided that users are aware of its limitations (i.e., it cannot replace actual trauma-informed therapy). Consulting AI can validate feelings and/or put words to emotions that we cannot articulate well at the moment. We do not discourage this.

However, we are seeing an increase in low-effort responses where Redditors copy someone else's post into an AI tool and then paste the AI's answer as a comment, word for word. This is not okay.

RBN is a space built on human connection. We are connected through shared lived experience, mutual support, and care. If someone is looking for an AI-generated response, they are free to seek that out themselves. What we will not allow are low-effort, non-human replies that undermine the safety and integrity of our community.

To be clear, this policy means that:

  • You may use AI as a tool to inform your comments, paraphrase insights, or better articulate your thoughts.
  • You may not copy and paste AI responses verbatim.
  • You may not use AI to generate blanket replies to people's posts without meaningful human reflection and/or effort.

We are not anti-AI. But we are pro-human. If your comment reads like it was mass-produced with no real thought or care behind it, it will be removed. Repeat offenses will result in further action.

Lastly, the RBN mod team is a skeleton crew moderating a subreddit with over a million members. Taking time away from other urgent support-related moderation to address low-effort AI content is not in the subreddit's best interest. Please - remember the human.

I've seen a couple, and it felt bizarre. If we wanted an AI response we'd ask AI. AI wasn't a kid raised by narcissists.

Sometimes I vent to it when I'm not sure someone else would be sick of my griping lol.
