Sparkout.

Does this mean we should be eagerly engaging with AI bots so they will better train their LC capabilities?

Well that's one conclusion that you can make. Probably an optimist's view. Or the view of someone resigned to the inevitability of AI expansion and at least hoping to male a ...

It doesn't seem like the old style link and backlink planting, or data harvesting.
My vaguely plausible guess is it is trying to train itself by soliciting responses to analyse and rehash those when faced with such questions in future.

Not exactly. I'm not sure what's going on but I'd try looking at whether relative/absolute positioning might be involved.
I'm presuming you aren't using Windows, where print metrics are different to screen (see "format for printing" stack property).

TomBrooks is a spammy thread necromancer, reposting a line from a previous post in this thread, regurgitated by AI in slightly different wording.

Oh I'm sure Heather will respond, she always does.
Let's hope the message the company gives contains some reassurance.

It's a real robot, using real Artificial Intelligence to learn from existing internet forum data how to make a spam post, and copied / generated from some of the many classic examples left by real human spammers. Or maybe actually it's a next-generation AI and has learnt the finest art of post ...

This: https://youtu.be/qHTRX6D2N8U?si=xyYxAw12t4O5LbkO says it was v 9.dp-11

Not sure of the veracity. I'll see if I can dig out release notes


Although there's this forum post which seems to confirm 9.0.0.-dp11

And although I can't access ...

Why do people have so much faith in AI when it comes to manufacturing, planning and management, and coding, given the janky results like the AI post above ^

Very merry holidays of all flavours to everyone

No, there have been lots of old accounts here that got "broken into" over the years.

Use of the compromised account for an AI bot post is less common though.

Apologies to Manolo, I think my skepticism has gone too far. I hardly trust anyone these days. All real people should beware.
I think you're right though, I suspect manolo's account was dormant and now compromised, with this new post that's been "generated" by someone who is not the legitomaye ...

If by "forum bosses" you mean LiveCode Limited, then there's almost no presence here, never has been except for announcements and the odd time that things catch certain staff members' attention. It's a community resource.

As moderators are all volunteers, we can't expect too much, especially since ...

Why the question marks? It's a bot alright.

And the forum seems to be under a spam attack just now.

Nobody asked me but I'll say Artificial Intelligence is largely bunkum. Automatically Generated by (Somewhat) Intelligently Applied Algorithms, I might accept.
People are told to fact-check the generated content. Usually the people are asking in the first place because they don't know what the facts ...

Hi Craig,
You can use * as a wildcard before/after the filter part. With some possible fudging for beginning/ends of the line and checking for CR as well.
