Y'all need to do one thing, and that's chill the hell out. Remember viewtopic.php?t=3669

Think we've got another one here search.php?author_id=120575&sr=posts
A bit less obvious, mainly due to short posts, but seems a bit fishy...

As the other topic (https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38121) is more dedicated to spotting bots, I thought I'd start a more general thread on the subject of chatgpt and ai. Personally, I've recently upgraded to the pay to play version (including demo of gpt4), both to play aroun...

On a side note, I really enjoy telling my chatgpt to answer me in the manner of Ford Prefect or some other favorite character for as long as it can remember, makes for some very entertaining conversations

I'm intrigued by the suspicious posts that never get edited. I wonder whether they get forgotten or abandoned or whether they're sleepers of some kind. Maybe they'll come back and edit them years later. Interesting indeed, some of them may just be lost / forgotten posts by some spammer bot that eit...

....and another one, although this one seems like it's got a few lines of code crossed, not the best bot of the lot: viewtopic.php?p=433143#p433143

Think we've got a brand spanking new one, right here: viewtopic.php?p=433142#p433142

Those two examples are a bit harder @Not_the_monk, but I think you are right on those as well. Odd that it would misspell names from previous post though, it's not like it has clumsy fingers...

Picking up on previous comment that it probably wasn't ChatGPT specifically, that was used to generate the answer Lemming posted, I think I agree. However, it was definitely it was definitely some large language model based bot very similar to or just an earlier version of the model used for the one...

As you say, this particular form of spamming has been going on for some time (hopefully I delete most). What was special about this one was the sophistication of the first post. Agreed, the one you pointed out was a new level, they're definitely learning 😁 My guess is that the programmer has given ...

My entry! Last post in this thread: https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37038 Bingo, agreed on that also... Same name pattern, although interestingly using "I have..." etc more than others. User also deleted later, probably as you've stated wrt my entry, because they la...

Here's a couple that date back to 2020 and aren't that obvious, but I suspect they're also bots. Last post in this thread: https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=427900#p427900 And especially the last post in this thread (made by same user with "botty name", close to the ot...

Ooooh, I'll go first. Do I get extra points for 2 in 1, even if they're short? Last 2 there... viewtopic.php?p=432914#p432914 We've got our first winner and deffo an extra point for the twofer, both of them with the spurious naming also! 🤣👍🤣 Forgot to add, that those two also exhibit another clue t...

We've got our first winner and deffo an extra point for the twofer, both of them with the spurious naming also!

Oh yeah, that was written by some language model based tool or bit and that's not the only case. Don't have time right now to look for specific examples, but I think we've had bot posts like this on at least a monthly basis (although maybe not as good as this, but they're learning and getting better...
