Why We Value Real-World Experience Over AI-Generated Posts

Thank you for this statement, Madi! Let's build a community with real content. 

Thank you Madi.

I use AI myself for different topics and reasons, but for a person-lead community with our values we have, I fully agree on the statement.

AI always helps myself for larger articles to do some kind of spell-checking and rewriting - but the only reason is, that I’m not a native English-speaker and I only focus on English content for around 2 years now.

100 % on that ​@lukas.k !

Thanks so much for this statement!

Happy Friday news 😁

 It’s important to remember that AI can’t truly invent anything new, it’s the human spark that drives so much of the value this community has built over the years.

Search options already exist to discover existing content within the Veeam Community, and AI can crawl the data as well. So problems can be solved by these tools and fresh thinking and ideas should remain our human elements and contributions 🙂

Thank you very much for this statement!

Unfortunately, we’re seeing more and more AI-generated posts, which, regrettably, aren’t always technically accurate. There’s no place for these in the community, and people who aren’t deeply familiar with Veeam end up receiving incorrect information.

AI support has become indispensable and we all use it in our daily work for some tasks.

As support for blog posts, I see it as a tool for spell-checking or verifying the information in the post. However, the post should be written by the person themselves.

It's the people and their deep knowledge that ultimately make the community what it is—not an AI bot (Even though you could get more attention by using an AI bot and posting a massive number of posts per day.But that's not necessary and doesn't add any real value!).

Wish you all a great sunny weekend!

Thanks for your statement, Madi.

It can really help improve the overall quality of the community if we all lean more on our knowledge and share solutions we know actually work and have been tested in real-world scenarios.

It’s sometimes better to write nothing than to offer random advice that could cause bigger problems because it’s simply wrong.

When it comes to AI, I agree with the other non-native English speaker: using it to improve writing clarity is fine, but the idea and solution must be your own.

I completely agree with this post as I have noticed lately many posts just the way they are done seem very AI and it does not look good.   You can definitely tell when this happens.  AI is out there but don't use it for posts.  Also as mentioned searching the community or even Google should help with answers before asking common questions that take 10 seconds to find. 😉

Wholeheartedly agree ​@Madi.Cristil ! I don’t even use it to spell check...I just re-read several times...so if folks see something “off” in my posts, you’ll know why 🤣😂

Also: how does one learn to “communicate” effectively if they don’t practice writing professional articles? 🤔

Thank you for the statement ​@Madi.Cristil! I agree, you want to educate the community on your own experiences and also help if you should see a particular problem that may help someone in a similar situation. 

Nice point of view Madi! AI is so helpful in some many ways, but it other  hand it could be very boring too.

Thanks for your position, statement and clarification.

This makes a lot of sense. AI is a great tool to support creation, but what really sets content apart is the human experience behind it. Real challenges, real decisions, things that worked (and didn’t), and lessons learned in the field are what truly help others grow. Using AI as an assistant is fine, but leading with personal insight and hands-on experience is what keeps the community authentic and valuable. 

Thanks ​@Madi.Cristil 

There is no replacement for experience, AI or otherwise.
