Perhaps I am naive.
Perhaps we can have a new "rule" making evident forms of non-human AI here as an offence.
I don't like what I see. Or perhaps the Genie is well and truly loose, for all of us, everywhere....unless in person, face to face?
I like face to face, one on one. Clear unavoidable transparency of reality.
We seem to be inundated with bots at the moment.
We get the obvious ones where they leave a link to some business or virus etc.
Then we get the ones that seem vaguely relevant but are responding to threads where the last post was several years ago.
Then we get the ones that start a thread, with a whole dissertation contained within, that is related to autism, but the 'person' just joined to say this one thing and then never returns.
It's irritating to say the least.

Yes,
Also trolls, and the usual 'rinse and repeat' profiles.
It's hard to tell whether those originate from an actual human or are actually copybots.
If you want a public forum populated by genuine humans, all that activity acts to undermine confidence.
I am in two minds whether to continue here or not.
I don't know. At least though, those two minds are my own, born of human quandary.

That's a shame but understandable.
It would be particularly sad if you (or anyone) were driven away by AI
