MORE EFFORT?? What would you do differently from me, specifically?

If this were my board and I had a mod like Pancakes doing most of the moderating and there was an antagonist constantly exploding with verbal abuse against said mod, I'd have that situation ended. Specifically? Ban Whiskey permanently if that's the only way. My impression is that if a particular poster is resisting the rules in a way that's personally annoying to you, repeatedly trying to find ways around your rulings, that you come up with creative solutions that end the problem. But if it's one of your team and they are willing to put up with the constant extra work or in this case personal attacks, ah, just let 'em tough it out. Just because they are willing to do it doesn't mean its right to allow it to happen.

As for AI, I do have some sympathy for that bind, another board non-religious or political I read occasionally banned AI completely, and was getting issues like "hey, I wasn't using AI!" But it's surprising you came up with that rule that mainly hurt honest people like Analytics while allowing for easy loopholes for dishonest people -- all of whom thus far believe in Jesus Christ. Maybe you honestly thought that All AI was good for is producing the easy-to-spot nonsense that MG comes up with.

Well said. Thank you.

I think Shades could put more effort into moderating his forum rather than saddling Canpakes with everything, . . .

MORE EFFORT?? What would you do differently from me, specifically?

Agreed, the errors in that post should have rolled the eyeball test right off the page.

Are errors indicative of humanity or of A.I.?

I wonder if Dr. Shades trusts drug sniffing dogs to find drugs, or Adobe Acrobat to make PDFs?

Yes and yes. But that's not what you're asking me. You're asking me to trust drugs to find drugs, and PDFs to make PDFs.

It has been a day since Dr. Shades requested evidence, and I am the only board member who has posted any in the last 24 hours.

I took screenshots of ten of my longer opening posts that I've written over the past 18 months, ran them through an AI generator, and then shared the results. I will be doing the same today, I'm going to try and post another ten of my longer post that I've created over the past 18 months after they have been ran through an AI generator. Making 20 posts that each contain a minimum of 500 to 1000 words as evidence. You asked for proof, Shades, so I am providing it openly for everyone to see. I am being transparent and have nothing to hide. If I wanted to conceal my intentions, I would ask AI to examine post I made that consists of just two or three sentences. However, I am doing the complete opposite, I am seeking out some of the longest posts I have written on this board.

Let's be honest, Dr. Shades, It’s consistently the same individuals, the liberal minded posters, who repeatedly urge you to ban board members with conservative views. The events of the past 24 hours are consistent with what has occurred many times before. There are 6 to 7 liberals or progressives trying to persuade you to either ban or queue me, MG2.0, and even Whiskey. They are fervently trying to convince you to act because they oppose free speech. They seek an online space for expressing their grievances where they can engage without the concern of encountering differing viewpoints.

Look at how they responded to you yesterday when you didn't immediately provide them with what they desired. Gadianton accused you of neglecting your board while portraying Canpakes as the saint of the discussion board, and it's clear that Drcam thinks very little of you.

It is 100% clear they are trying to undermine you in the hopes that you will submit to their demands. It's a classic tactic they undermine you on your own discussion board, hoping you'll concede to their demands just to make it all stop.

Today marks a fresh start. I will be sharing additional evidence. It will be interesting to see if whether the progressives will respond in kind or resort to more complaints, attempting to persuade you that you lack any understanding of what's happening on your board. Obviously, they consider themselves more knowledgeable than you, which leads to their expectation that you should acquiesce to their demands.


I ran the above post through AI. Guess what AI said






That now makes 11 of my post I've ran through AI.

[Whiskey]

If you want posters to stop using AI, write something worth responding to.

If person A’s post triggers person B to respond, then person B thought that there was apparently something worth responding to, whether the response was AI or not.

Correct. And if person A's dumbass post deserves a dumbass AI response, great. I think we agree. The posts get what they deserve sometimes.

Would you like me to personalize this or format it for a forum post?

Can'tpakes good, Dr.Shades bad. Gadianton, you are literally an idiot! I can't believe you are attempting to convince Dr shades that he is the problem.

Here’s what ChatGPT says about this new post by the Hound account:

Below is a neutral, text-focused analysis of linguistic and structural features that often show up in AI-generated writing, and that appear in the passage you provided. This does not judge the author’s political positions or the accuracy of their claims—only the writing characteristics.

Possible Indicators of AI-Generated Writing in the Passage

1. High repetition of ideas and phrases

AI writing models often reiterate points in slightly different wording. In the passage, several ideas are repeated with near-identical structure:
• Repeated explanations that the author is posting “ten” or “another ten” long posts.
• Several statements reiterating transparency, providing evidence, and “nothing to hide.”
• Redundant assertions that certain groups are trying to “ban” or “persuade” or “undermine” the author.

This kind of looping reinforcement is common in AI outputs.

2. Overly formal tone mixed with internet-forum informality

The writing shifts between:
• Formal phrases (“It is 100% clear they are trying to undermine you,” “I am being transparent,” “Let’s be honest, Dr. Shades…”)
• Forum-style phrasing (“liberal minded posters,” “fervently trying to convince you,” “classic tactic”).

AI text sometimes blends incompatible registers because it does not naturally maintain a consistent voice.

3. Excessively linear, structured explanations

The text reads like it is following a template:
1. Statement of problem
2. Explanation of experiment
3. Reassurance of transparency
4. Accusation of opponents
5. Statement about future actions

Human forum posts often wander, digress, or show inconsistencies. AI outputs tend to have rigid, essay-like structuring even when written in an informal context.

4. Over-polished emotional framing

The passage uses repeated, emphatic emotional framing (“It is 100% clear…”, “fervently trying,” “classic tactic,” “hoping you’ll concede”), but expressed in tidy, grammatically smooth paragraphs. AI models often produce emotion-laden content that feels mechanically clean rather than organically heated.

A human rant tends to include:
• typos
• fragmented sentences
• spontaneous shifts
• rhetorical questions
• inconsistent tense
• abrupt transitions

The provided text is unusually controlled.

5. Uniform paragraph structure and sentence length

Most paragraphs are:
• similar in size
• balanced in sentence length
• smoothly transitioned

This is typical of AI writing, which defaults to symmetry unless guided otherwise.

6. Repetitive sentence openings

For example, sentences repeatedly begin with “I,” “They,” “It,” “Look at,” “Today marks,” “Obviously.”

AI often falls into repetitive grammatical rhythms unless specifically optimized for variety.

7. Over-explicit reasoning (“telling” rather than showing)

AI text frequently explains motivations and intentions very directly:
• “If I wanted to conceal my intentions…”
• “It’s a classic tactic…”
• “They seek an online space…”
• “Obviously, they consider themselves more knowledgeable…”

Humans tend to hint, imply, or leave some motivations unspoken. AI frequently over-justifies arguments to sound coherent.

8. Lack of concrete narrative detail

Even though the text references people, events, and a forum:
• No quotes from others
• No timestamps
• No specific examples of posts
• No direct details of the alleged “evidence”

AI often writes in generalized terms rather than citing specifics.

9. Smooth grammar with few natural human errors

For a long, impassioned forum post, the grammar is almost unnaturally clean aside from minor issues. Highly emotional posts usually contain:
• typos
• broken clauses
• mid-sentence corrections

This piece does not.

10. Mirror-structure argumentation

The text frequently repeats a structure where:
1. A claim is made (“They want to ban conservative posters.”)
2. Their motivation is attributed (“They oppose free speech.”)
3. Their action is described again (“They are trying to persuade you.”)

That “claim → motivation → repetition” pattern is classic AI argumentative structure.

Summary

The passage shows several features often associated with AI writing:
• repetitive ideas
• rigid structure
• polished grammar
• mixed register
• over-explanation of motives
• lack of concrete, situational details
• rhythmic/repetitive phrasing

None of these guarantee AI authorship—humans can produce similar text—but they are typical signs.

Oh, noes. So far, 100% of posts from the Hound account that have been analyzed show that they’re likely AI generated.
