I found an AI

[notocactus]

I don't even know how the forum survived 10 years without AI...   

In this regard, it is up to campaign managers to ensure that they only accept users who are clearly participating in the forum, without resorting to generating AI-generated data in a generalized way.

Users in the forum and participants in campaigns only or a little bit more softly to say, mostly use AI when they have no time for posting. It's clear and very noticeable that they use AI to maximize total posts they can make, you know not only from that account.

It's quite interesting to see AI users for posting have very good merit stats that in theory should be good and quality posters as it's weird if they could earn a lot of merit while they are not good posters. Only three noticeable things: good merit history, shitposting history, and AI use, are very enough to conclude about these accounts as well as their reasons of using AI for posting.

Forum will exist without AI users for posting but they will not stop doing that because they can rank up easily - I am not sure will they get more troubles of ranking after latest policy change on AI from theymos, but I'm doubtful that it can prevent them ranking up speedily and easily.

This should be fun. I’m waiting for @Ivystar5 reply on this thread, as far as I can tell he’s online and should have noticed this thread by now. He did make a post on the Theymos recent AI guideline thread on meta so he definitely frequents this board.

He just responded before you dropped yours. Guess you missed it. Well, the explanation looks halfbaked to me so let's see if they would have something better than what they dropped.

Yeah, it's good initiative to detect and humiliate them, and I saw the new AI guidelines thread, but let's just be honest. What's the point? As long as posts are paid to be made, and AI technology allows for infinite text generation, there's an asymmetric incentive to just use AI in this place.

I suspect in a short time frame users using AI to post would post better content that jibberish signature poster are doing right now.
This is going to be a very huge problem for campaigns managers.

Yeah he dug himself a bigger hole. Don’t expect any other explanation from him, the account has posted since it was given a signature ban. I suspect the owner is taking a long break from that account to focus on his alts or create new ones.

Now I'm curious.

Can you name a user with very good merit statistics who made 5 posts using AI in a single week, and specify which posts they were?

For campaign managers to avoid accepting AI users in signature campaigns it will be a very tedious work for them to do (i mean going to every applicant's post history to look for AI generated posts) but the best they can do is to hire someone who can do the job of going through each campaign participant's post history weekly to check if they can identify any user who is using AI to make posts for them. This is the best way to get rid of AI users in signature campaigns IMO.

That's right, people will always make mistakes. But it seems to me that this technique, which was shown by OP, will already be taken note of by AI lovers, and the citation of the post will be checked every time. Just like all the subsequent experiments that you asked to know about as a demonstration, they will be taken into account by those who abuse AI. Didn't the same thing happen when we showed connections by wallets and other coincidences? The cheaters have become more attentive, and maybe even more arrogant, because they know the ways in which they could be tracked. In the end, he who has eyes will see, but he who has reason will cease.

Yes, the scammers who use AI in wrong way always learn from everything but I'm pretty sure if they're so lazy that for making posts they use AI then such people might not give proper time to read what OP shared. Such people misuse AI and it's because of those abusers that now even if someone use AI for good will get some type of penalty.

Yes, the ones who used multiple accounts back in the days got alert after members started showing connections, but even this day those scammers get caught and so is going to be the case with the ones who misuse AI. For sometime they'll be able to use their techniques but in the end they'll make some mistakes and those mistakes are enough to destroy their reputation.

I that was a good one brother! but well I read the thread I felt like no one is even following the op so I decided to do what he said in the thread just to be mentioned here and seeing that op was decieving people and I was the person who got decieved.

Bro if not that some people just don't want to know as long as it sounds like someone is a cheat and is caught they are happy, in my opinion deceiving someone to follow your instruction and then going back to say that because they followed your instructions they are bot (AI) you need a knock on your head and wish you are a kid or a younger brother to me I would have knocked your head twice.

Reading through this comment and I feel like there is a need for some of those emojis or memes on social modes that would just give you the side eyes and be like “Bro, really”… come on mehn!

The instructions was for AI, it was for a bot to execute as stated and should you do that, it very much makes you some bot or an AI and that’s what you were evidently charged with. So long as you didn’t state it before executing, it sticks and you sure did shoot yourself in the foot with this. What came with it is just appropriate at that point.

That's right, people will always make mistakes. But it seems to me that this technique, which was shown by OP, will already be taken note of by AI lovers, and the citation of the post will be checked every time.

I would maintain that much of these traps be set and even more creative methods to input these hidden details be employed. There would always be those that might be a lot lazy to not go through any laid out routine and get hooked all the same, those lazy moments do presents.

I'm not fond of you using such a generalization to make such a bold statement. Claiming that most signature campaign participants use AI is a bold move that you should be able to back-up with substantial evidence to show what you're saying. There's an official report thread where you can report those that you've found, but I haven't seen you do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing at you, but saying such a thing but without names and evidence is an empty claim. There are quite a few cases that campaign participants have been caught using AI, some were higher ranked as well, but I believe that's barely a minority.

Not particularly AI, but I do come across users who have good post/activity to merit ratio but their post quality don't reflect the same, some even reach hero/leggy rank fast and after that their 'merit receiving' tends to get stagnant; I think local board connections play part in this.
