Mumsnet denies using AI for content after prompt appears on message board www.theguardian.com/media/2026/o...

The thread www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_st...

Among other things it seems Mumsnet was sending draft text to OpenAI while users were writing it

Mumsnet was founded in 2000. It faced a 19% drop in its monthly unique user numbers in 2025 to 6.1 million and the number of posts fell by 600,000. It said in its latest annual report that it was "embedding AI tools to improve productivity and enhance the user experience".

Recent research, published in Nature, has shown that AI assistance in social media risks creating "semantic garbage" and is seen by users as less informative, "robotic" and "generic".

Soon after the prompt emerged, Mumsnet denied that it used AI to write threads and said it had come from a tool to suggest thread titles which uses an OpenAI model. But users refused to accept this explanation and some copied the prompt into an AI and found it generated a full post.

"We are not idiots," said one user, MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack. "Please can you give us a transparent explanation?"
