Re: Is BCT dead and most of the traffic just mindless AI zombies now?

and the replies that follow then convince me that the forum isn't mostly populated by mindless bots now.

I'm not going to convince you, and already had 2 of the users that responded on Ignore. I've been "complaining" about the lack of punishment for plagiarism and AI for years now, and largely gave up reporting them. If it takes more effort to report a chatbot spammer than it takes for him to spam, it's a lost cause if they don't get banned on sight. If Mods just delete the reported posts but let the user continue, I just click Ignore and move on. This may very well destroy Bitcointalk as we know it.

Have you even visited the thread linked in the OP? None of those users are using AI and actually my quoted AI reply is much better that what they are saying.

I don't know, man, my impression is that you're so blinded by this issue that that every time AI is discussed, all your rationality disappears.

He doesn't need to. Both issues are happening on this forum simultaneously. There are plenty of cases where AI people were allowed to continue posting. Here is my last report on someone who used AI. It is 100% confirmed, and the user is still active and posting. Each time someone is let off easily gives more encouragement and approval for said activities. Mindless humans using mindless AI to write about topics that they don't understand is peak level of spamming and here it is tolerated to a large extent.

I don't think I will report like that again unless I am really bored, it is a waste of time. All of this puts aside the fact that any of the shitposters in the topic referred to by OP could be using AI at any time anyway and disguising it by simply rewriting what it tells them in a very generic way.
