Did you see this? This pretty clearly is a LLM that scraped the forum or at least the post to create this.
The future is upon us
Oh and thanks for flagging it!

Ha ⌠they forgot to add the âmake it sound casualâ clause to the end of their request.

Yep, saw it and flagged it. Also I note itâs an edited comment - I did like a pretty benign comment on this thread thatâs then been edited with more detail and the scam link.

The use of AI is mundane. The more interesting thing is how this was actually pulled offâŚ
The system actually flagged up the comment before it was posted, at which point the comment was just âyour game is fantastic!â.
I accepted it because it looked like one of those occasional cases where the system is a bit overzealous and flags someone just for commenting shortly after having created an account (which happens fairly regularly).
The malicious content was then edited in after-the-fact, when the comment had already been allowed through.
Thatâs quite clever, and something weâre going to have to keep an eye out for in future.
(Though with any luck it wonât be something that happens often.)

AI Bot Invasion actually sounds like a good name for a new game.

Yeah seems to be a bot specifically for attacking discourse forums.
I would think you could filter a lot of bots by just not allowing gibberish email addresses.
Or a band.
