Ask questions, find answers and collaborate at work with Stack Overflow for Teams. Explore Teams

I posted ~1850 answers between March 2023 and April 2024, including ~1100 answers to bountied questions during their bounty periods. Of those 1850 answers, about two-thirds were based on generative AI content.

I would like to sincerely apologize for the series of answers I posted on Stack Overflow over the past 13 months, which were based on outputs generated from an AI tool (before being reworked, researched, and sourced). I understand that this action was against Stack Overflow's community guidelines, which explicitly ban the use of generative AI for creating posts.

I do regret my posts, not only because they violated Stack Overflow's trust, but also because they potentially misled other users relying on the content I posted. My intentions were to contribute helpful information, but I realize I went about this in the wrong way.

I do acknowledge that I used AI tools to assist in creating content, which is clearly prohibited on the platform. I accept full responsibility for my actions. All 1850 posts have been deleted.
