Yeah, that's true. But, I like to think that I can tell when I'm reading a redundant post [1], and I would completely trust your judgment, and o_e_l_e_o's, Foxpup's, n0nce's, DarkStar_'s, DireWolfM14's, etc. in determining the same.

I found it funny that you mentioned me, because I had zero experience with these new fangled AI systems. But, this discussion got me curious so I just spent an hour playing with ChatGPT to get an idea of how it would respond. I agree that would be fairly easy to distinguish, or at least I would also like to believe so. The the example I posted below; it's accurate, and coherent, for sure, but contains no personality. The precision is too mechanical, almost predictable in it's encyclopedic accuracy. Soleless, for lack of a better term.

write two paragraphs about the impact of spammers on a discussion forum

Quote from: ChatGPT

Spammers can have a significant negative impact on discussion forums. They often flood the forum with irrelevant or misleading messages, advertising for products or services, or even phishing scams. This behavior can quickly disrupt the flow of genuine discussion and cause users to lose interest in participating in the forum altogether. Moreover, spammers may also post malicious links or files that can infect users' computers with malware, leading to potential security risks for both individuals and the forum as a whole.

Additionally, dealing with spam can be a time-consuming and frustrating task for forum moderators. They must constantly monitor the forum, remove spam posts, and ban spammers who repeatedly violate the rules. This takes time away from other important moderation duties, such as addressing user concerns and fostering constructive discussions. Ultimately, the presence of spammers can undermine the purpose of a discussion forum by reducing its credibility and reliability as a source of valuable information and community engagement.
