How are they going to check for LLM usage?

I think it's way more likely that poor answers won't mention the usage of LLM's to generate the answer, while good answers aided by LLM's will more often mention it.

Punishing honesty just seems incredibly counterproductive.

Automatic detection is downright dystopian... being censored by an algorithm because it mistook my effort and work for a LLM.

Agree with the middle part - At the moment, the policy implemented by corporate is "Don't ask; don't tell". If someone says they used GPT or other AI for their answer, it's disallowed. If they try to hide the fact, there's not much the community can do to get it removed.

And while I'm not a moderator, as just a user I've flagged over 1,200 answers on Stack Overflow (and several of the smaller communities like Ask Ubuntu) that were subsequently removed. Automatic detection was never the sole criteria that was used to determine if it was AI - It's entirely possible to spot GPT content using multiple methods. I don't publicly talk about most of these, since we do have a group of users (sometimes spammers) who attempt to hide their use and make it more difficult to detect.
