- josephcsible 3y agoWhen someone posts 30 long, substantive answers in 20 minutes, you can be sure they're AI-generated.
- grugagag 3y agoThey could be posting it on 30 different accounts vpned into different geographical locations. Or 300, or 1000. Eventually the pipeline gets clogged somewhere The quiestion is by inspecting text can one determine if it’s written by a human or llm? Not sure how accurate that would be and we’re back to square spam, now incredibly to eye out as spam but waste good time on broken incorrect information..
- twelve40 3y agoyou are describing some weird hypothetical by a very determined person. they are the people who volunteer their time today to moderate, trying to stop dumb copy paste as a first step, be it via looking at the contents or frequency, whatever gets the job done. Always impressed by people opining here on what the world really needs.
- JdeBP 3y agoAs explained at length by the moderators themselves, the detection was a lot more multiply-factored than that. They also took into account (for example) massive stylistic changes in posting questions, comments, and answers; because people were only using machines to generate the answers.

- wilg 3y agoYes, but that's a corner case. What if someone just posts one? And wouldn't you want those substantive answers even if they were AI generated, of course, as long as they were correct!
