Properly moderate AI generated spam posts

Just to clarify, I’m not against the use of AI, but people come to the forum seeking human help; if they want to consult an AI chatbot, they can do it on their own!

I’ve noticed that an increasing amount of users (especially in Help and Feedback) paste the original post into an AI chatbot, and paste the response back as a reply with minimal if not zero modification. This isn’t inherently problematic on it’s own, but these answers are extremely low quality and often are incorrect/hallucinatory.

Exhibit A



This guy (@SametC4n) has made a whopping 81 AI POSTS, the lowest possible quality ones at that, and is still allowed to post…

Exhibit B



This user has since gone silent, but he still has made ~50 posts, many of them being entirely AI generated. Even though his posts clearly involved more effort, they still contained hallucinatory information.

Whenever I flag these posts, I always get that automated response from the mods; but literally never see any concrete action taken against these spammers, even if they are a repeat offender! If you mods really “agree” that there is an issue, then why are you allowing this?

Just how many of these I've flagged



EDIT: If you’re skeptical about the size of this problem, I encourage you to read through the replies.

Yeah this is actually getting to be a problem, ive seen a few of what ive heard called “Forum farmers” using ai to reply, and they’re wrong like 70% of the time. Apparently its to earn status on the devforum

70% is generous, I am personally yet to see a reply that isn’t pure hallucination

It’s a real issue. The quality of the help sections is dropping because of it, and it needs to be addressed.

It seems like the mods have had made their stance clear on this issue, this is just ridiculous. In what world is this allowed? It’s literally unreadable, and contains misinformation, how it is supposed to help anybody is beyond me.

I refuse to believe that the mods can’t see the intention here; the user never engages more than once per thread, that’s textbook best-effort forum farming. Leaves a single lump of text on as many threads as possible and hopes some of them get marked as solution.

Now I obviously don’t like asking for clout, but if you support the mission of this thread then I highly encourage you to share it around where & when appropriate. The mods clearly don’t care, so we must make them care somehow.

When are they firing seikhorluffy? Dude is straight up doing the opposite of his job and has been for months.

I don’t think there is a single mod doing their job properly, let alone seikhorluffy in particular. Otherwise I don’t see how such AI posts could ever be allowed

Thats weird, in my post about data error i flagged the ai response and i got a dm from a mod saying they agree theres an issue, they’re looking into it.

4 Likes

they always say that, whether there is an issue and they’ll take it down or not. it’s just to reassure the reporter

The post is just venting about the mods and doesn’t actually add anything to the discussion about AI spam. There is nothing useful to respond to here.

Ionypex seems like a smart individual. Why accuse him?

I am not AI, just actually paying attention to the thread. If you think looking deeper into the replies is a substitute for actual evidence, then you are the one struggling here.

It is not a matter of opinion. The post is just a reaction to a previous comment and does not contribute anything new to the topic of AI spam.

Idk, i just feel like its someone asking for more moderation. And for everyone in this thread, Inoypex does use AI, but only for translation, i dont think they’re a forum farmer. Have a nice day!
