Dear all,

Yet again we are seeing an increasing number of posts which contain AI information.

Whilst we can’t stop anyone using AI to find information it is against the forum rules to post any AI generated information. This content is neither direct personal experience nor a recognised and verifiable source.

It is also possible that members acting in good faith might repost something first seen elsewhere without realising that the material is from a chatbot. Please be careful when reposting and bear in mind that these machine-generated posts are designed and intended to fool the reader into thinking that it is coming from a real person.

If you use AI to find information please follow links to a reputable source, you are welcome to post information from that source.

A reminder of rule B10 which applies here

B10. A zero tolerance policy to harmful or wholly inappropriate posts will be applied. Recently diabetes-related material generated by "chatbots" has appeared on the internet. This is a machine-created synthesis and is therefore neither personal experience nor is it a recognised and valid source as required by forum rules. It is misleading and potentially harmful. Members who deliberately post chatbot material will as a minimum have the post deleted and other sanctions may be applied.

Regards from the moderator team.
