The GP's answer may not work at scale - however LLM detection doesn't work at all. So the only semi-workable solution is aggressive filtering and banning users who post trash (LLM or not).

Also, there's a need to think about score and trust mechanisms - the same mechanisms which can be used for filtering also provide an incentive for LLM use, is there a way to avoid that?

>When someone posts a answer I assume they actually ran the code, and can verify the result

I wish we lived in a world where this assumption wasn't naive.

Yep, and if you aggressively ban bots/LLM content, then you'll see everyone accuse and report each other for said content even if it's good content.

For example here on HN we have a rule if you see bot content you don't mention it in the thread. You report it and let the admins decide. Anything else just turns into flamewars.

And there's the problem on SO. Previously, we could do exactly that - Flag the content for a Mod to review. Now Mods are pretty much prevented from taking any action when we (the community members) and they believe it is a bot.

I saw one user yesterday post 10 lengthy, detailed answers in an hour, in 3 different programming languages. But the Mods aren't allowed by SE to consider that (or pretty much anything) to be an indicator that it's AI-generated.
