Do you reply to comments/messages that have obviously been written by ChatGPT?

Question

By now, most people have developed a feeling for when someone has written a text on ChatGPT and I for one don't want to respond or answer because I have the feeling that the writer hasn't put any thought into it. On the other hand, you don't want to be rude - how do you deal with that?

I began ignoring those types of messages. I used to read them, but they've become annoying lately with their complex words and sarcastic wordplay.

Fraser B · Answer

It really depends on the context. If I feel it’s some random message they generated to create engagement, I’ll ignore it. If I get the feeling they did some heavy prompting to help them articulate their point, I’ll reply.
While it’s easy to dismiss stuff as spam, some people use it as a tool to communicate in a second language.

I did sometimes, because I absorb the information though, and it is interesting to read.

Yes, it's also annoying me.Maybe this is the thing that AI just can't beat humans at.

@fraser_b I agree. I also use it for translation and to check my grammar 😊

Kevin Not-A-Robot · Answer

I don't reply because it's not a real dialog with someone with a real opinion.

WennectCM · Answer

It depends. I do not face them very often but let's say it's something useful, or interesting from my point of view - in such case, I give it a shot. 
Otherwise, not really.

@udaya_sri You are so right and, above all, they all sound the same. I sometimes have the feeling that I'm always reading the same 5 sentences.

@ivanywardhana Do you find most of the messages / comments generated by ai interesting or do you also think that the quality has decreased more?

Leonid Toshchev · Answer

There is a big difference between being written by ChatGPT and being improved by ChatGPT. And I'm not sure that people can see the difference now.

I think that answering the comment doesn't depend on the source. It depends on your policy:
1. Answer to every comment.
2. Answer to no one.
3. Answer to meaningful comments.
4. Don't answer to insults.

Generated comments could be in any of these categories.
