Thank you for your appreciation.
Are you aware that you are answering a bot? An AI machine that doesn't read your text(s), but feeds an LLM bot with the URL of your text.
Of course, it is definitely not enthusiastic or asking real questions. It's just annoying spam - always and always again.
Don't let it take the piss, don't let it fool you, don't let it steal your time!
Perhaps the goal was to attract the attention of the bot owner. Although this is quite difficult
I don't really care about the goals. The thing annoys me. And I get more and more annoyed when I see how users fall for it. Even those who have taken up the cause of recognising AI in certain "positions"...
Yes, the genie is out of the bottle. I noticed that in some cases I can't distinguish between AI-written text and human-written text.
Yes, it is indeed getting harder and harder to identify AI.
This case, however, is quite clear. Especially if you take the effort to look at its SteemWorld.
Thanks for telling me this.
Thanks!
