Bugs? Problems? Report them here!

I don't know why would someone bother generating AI responses and posting them here, for no good reason.

Maybe a strategy for boosting credit and enabling the later posting of spam.

AI? What about this looks like an AI generated post?

It looks like a lot of other AI created posts that have appeared here recently, which just restate the post they quote using different words.

Alright. I was just wondering what the heck you all were talking about.

Alright. I was just wondering what the heck you all were talking about.

In the last month or two there have been a dozen or so posts that quoted a recent post above them and were just the same thing rephrased. Pretty clearly AI generated. Why? Hard to say for sure.

Yes, I've reported many myself, or at least the ones that revealed a tiny embedded URL when the post was quoted. They often come in spates and involve older APODs.

Yeah, the ones that hide URLs (sometimes in the quoted section) it's easy to see the motive. They don't all do that, though.

Except that the URLs are essentially invisible and unclickable, so there's no point to it.

I've seen clickable ones. They replace the original URL in the quote with a new one that goes to some spam site or maybe a site trying to deliver something malicious. I don't click on them, just report them if they've changed anything in the quoted section.

Just checking to confirm that my supremely inter-galactic (not laxative [re Donavon]) prowess is still online.

BTW...'Always appreciate the time and good effort placed into maintaining the site and its chin-wag (for want of another 'word') section.

I truly wish you all the very best of the best.

Kinda ironic given that the nature of today's image is a featureless beige image...
