Regarding my merits, I guess meriting an unworthy post is part of the risk.
Rest assured that I didn’t merit a single post that I suspected was written by AI.
I have to step up my AI detection standards, and I will try to figure out how.
I know you have good intentions. The problem is every single gesture of unconditional goodwill on this forum is thoroughly taken advantage of by the exceptionally greedy & shameless; whether its merit giveaway threads, pie baking contests, free raffles, price prediction contests, etc. Every one of those threads is invaded by cliques of alt accounts who exist here only to leech off the kindness of others.
If in doubt whether a post is AI generated or not, I recommend checking it against at least 2 of the following detectors:
The last one, Originality, seems to take a combination of results from other detectors, although it doesn't include Sapling, which is my favorite.
