Wikipedia:Use of AI in discussions
 | This is a suggested policy, guideline, or method for Simple English Wikipedia. This page is not a policy, guideline, or method yet, but may be soon. Look at its talk page for more information. |
 | This page in a nutshell: The use of AI in discussions for translation is allowed as long as the contribution reflects the users own thoughts and ideas and not those of the AI. |
Users must use AI responsibly, ensuring discussions on talk pages and requests for deletion remain authentic, accurate, and inclusive. To support non-English speakers in overcoming language barriers AI can be used on talk pages and community discussions as long as certain rules are followed.
Users may use AI to translate their own text and ideas into English. This can be helpful because AI can help produce natural-sounding phrasing while retaining the user's original meaning. When using AI for this purpose users must always review AI output for accuracy, context, and tone before posting, making sure that the output reflects what they want to say. AI generated opinions or arguments should not be posted to talk pages or discussions. Using AI to create opinions and ideas for the user reduces accountability and misrepresents authorship. AI may be used to improve simplicity, grammar, spelling, and clarity after the user has written their own text.

[change source]I am trying to be helpful on Simple English Wikipedia, but English is my second language. Can you help me edit this paragraph to explain my support for a policy?
I think that it is a good idea to restrict what kind of AI can be used on talk pages. Minor AI usage could be helpful, but major could be bad especially if it starts sending ideas the speaker does not actually believe.
