Jeez, am I reading the situation correctly, that these apparently AI-generated posts are getting "better"?  I didn't look at this thread when it was originally started, but I just read the example from the OP and those posts are so obviously bot-written that they couldn't be anything else.  But I don't know, even though the content of Edcrypto91's post doesn't hold water if you take a minute to think about it, I can see how it would easily slip by mods and even members dedicated to reporting shitposters. 

If I didn't read that shit closely, I might even have given it a merit or two, and that's scary to me.  I'm going to really have to pay attention to whether posts make logical sense or not before I even consider meriting them.  I'll admit I often skim posts and judge whether there was at least some thought and effort into them and hand out merits without scrutinizing their substance.  Yikes.

Question: Has this become a rampant problem here?  I've seen several threads dealing with AI stuff, but I don't have a feel for how it's being abused or to what extent.
