We have revised our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines | What's New in Zenn

From around January 2025, negative comments about articles posted on Zenn that appeared to be generated by AI began to appear in violation reports to the management and on X. At the same time, the use of AI in document creation and coding is rapidly progressing. Assuming that the use of AI in these areas will continue to progress in the future, we started from the point of view that we should think more precisely about how to use it. We then began to think about what kind of articles are stressful for readers and why. Since then, we have continued our efforts for five months to unravel the 'discomfort' that has not yet been put into words and to find out what specific elements are stressful for readers.
