POLL: Should this forum be free of AI-generated poetry?

We all know that chatbots can generate poems in seconds. Generative AI models are trained on all the intellectual property the AI companies could steal, and they can spit out something in the shape of a poem (or whatever type of creative work the AI user wants a chatbot to generate for them) with only a very brief prompt, requiring little or no thought, let alone effort, from the AI user.

I'm curious about how other DUers feel about AI-generated text in this forum, when in the past the assumption was that what a DUer posted as their own writing was actually theirs. Unlike other types of AI-generated versions of creativity, AI text is not watermarked as images, video and music videos spat out by AI models often are.

So how do you feel about this?

I don't appreciate it being posted on DU. It is, after all, generated by using STOLEN creative material!
