Are AI-Generated Solutions Welcomed on programming.dev? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I wanted to start a discussion about the use of AI-generated solutions on Programming.dev. Personally, I've found that AI-powered tools have been incredibly helpful in solving programming questions. I won't name any specific commercial software, but I use one that combines GPT-4 and web search to get more factual information. I write some answers I think I might revisit to the ShareGPT community, but I would prefer posting programming solutions to this instance. However, I'm not sure if AI-generated solutions are welcomed on programming.dev. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. If AI-generated responses are accepted, how should we format the answers, should we just copy paste without quoting, should we quote the model, just mention that it's AI-generated,...?

I'd say as long as you've factually verified the answer yourself I don't think using an LLM to help you answer a question is bad, its about the same as using a search engine, but please don't just ask it the same question and paste the answer here. That actually has the potential for harm and would be unwelcome.
