I notice there are a lot of low quality AI articles on the front page, often nonsensical, they use antiquated language and have a specific style that seems to come from unedited ChatGPT. They don't appear to have been edited or fact-checked. It is very off-putting.

Are all the articles on this site ai? Are the forum discussions all real or are chatbots used to create an impression of humans communicating when there is little or no human traffic on a forum?

I get the vibe that most posters are real

The posters are real, and I don't understand why they post AI instead of using their own words to tell the story. Perhaps they think an AI-generated story has more credibility.

Most of the mods remove bot posters and their posts quite quickly.
The mods don't police the articles.

For what it's worth, I don't think I'm a bot, but I'm not sure how I would know.
May the cards fall in your favor.

If I was not AI, how could I possibly have over 30,000 posts?

That's "only" 5 or 6 posts a day, not counting time off for questionable behaviour.

I think I understand. It's incredibly easy to do. That's why everybody here is right behind me. Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of posts behind me.

Agreed. I didn't quote the post for that reason, and now it's gone. Good call.

I'm led to understand that some people, not having such photogenic pets, spend their time on other activities.

Are people trying to get to 20 posts so they can post links?

Most of the articles on the front page are several years old and pre-date AI. I can attest that authors such as Mission46 and Romes are real people

Under the "article" section on the main page I see only ai articles written by "kmorr". Clicking on the articles section reveals a further 16 articles by kmor. These are accompanied by very bad ai image generations-at least pay $10 for something like midjourney don't see free software from 2024. Much of it is inaccurate.

In the "sports articles" section there are articles written by real people, though kmor is present here also. The problem here is that you cannot tell what is real and what is not.

This is a very bad look. You can easily get real gamblers to write things for free for a site like this. I cannot trust a site which uses so much ai without fact-checking any of it.
