AI Thread Summary
Concerns about AI's impact on physics forums highlight the importance of human interaction among students, graduates, and STEM experts. Suggestions to enhance these forums include creating sections for discussing Wikipedia improvements and introducing platforms like Scholarpedia. Members are encouraged to produce video lectures and step-by-step STEM examples, with a focus on accessibility for non-native English speakers. The potential for article discussions tied to gold memberships could motivate participation, although the selection process for articles remains uncertain. Overall, fostering collaboration and resource sharing can positively influence the community's engagement and learning experience.

I noticed some worries about Ai ondiffrent platforms , I want to indicate , that people visit physics forums because they are interacting with physics students ,graduates, and other STEM majors , they are interacting with experts and peers , they visit physics forums after they already tried Google search

How to make physics forums better

For example add a section to talk about Wikipedia pages and how to help improve it

There is a website called scholarpeadia , maybe open a section to talk about it

Some members of physics forums try to make videos lectures in different STEM fields

Some members of physics forums author and then solve step by step STEM examples

Also YouTube video on how we can write equations on physics forums

Also hope that physics forums understand that not all visitors of physics forums speaks English as 1st language

Regards
H

@hagopbul
Nice features to emphasize! Members come here to interact with real human members.
 
Forgot to add that if physics forum include article discussion with it's gold membership that would be good motivation for aloof people
But should articles choose by members or staff I dont know

Wikipedia has talk pages for that. Major changes should be discussed there anyway.

We have a section for videos.

In the help section, and text is a better medium than a video if you want to copy code.

Everyone can comment on everything (within the rules), no gold membership needed.

That true , but organizing article discussion that will bring resources for both physics forums , and the lecturer(s) , who are doing the discussion, from my point of view that will create a positive effect on physics forums

But are those videos are made by physics forums members or that a selected collection from YouTube

Yes , it has but that on Wikipedia web page putting that on physics forums maybe good idea
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
