To what degree do AI posts in the forums require human involvement?

[AG31]

There are three people (?) who I suspect are using AI to compose their posts. I have asked all of them, either by reply or DM or both, if they use AI to generate their post. No replies.

My question is this: At what point is human involvement required to post in the forums. Can someone generate code to have AI create a Literotica ID and read posts and reply to selected posts? Or, at the other end of the spectrum, must a real person get AI to generate something and then they cut and paste it into a forum?

Edit: I understand that I can put them on Ignore, or report them. But the purpose of this post is to understand what is involved in using AI to post to a forum. It's a curiosity thing. Hoping for some tech-savvy AHers to respond here.

Just ignore them. As in, put them on your ignore list.

I've been reporting LLM-generated posts pretty consistently, and eventually (about a week ago) the mods reached out saying that basically it's not worth the effort to moderate them.

I tend to agree; it's obvious when a poster is just a spigot for ChatGPT et al., and it only takes a second to remove them from your sight.

I reported some of their posts, and the response I got was that enforcing the AI rules on forum posts would be too tedious.

That being said, nothing is stopping the rest of us from placing those users on ignore.

I agree that all three of these look very much like AI-generated content.

In terms of what's technically possible, somebody could write a bot that logs onto Literotica and replies to posts with no human intervention, but I think it's more likely that these accounts are just copying Lit posts into ChatGPT/whatever and asking it to respond, then pasting that reply back into the forums.

I also reported a couple of those accounts and got the same response as posters above.

Hazzel appears to be a future spambot. Watch their posts for insertion of offsite links, maybe as edits long after the original post.

I don't see anything suspect in the other two. Possibly they don't speak English well and are using translators.

Which Mod is giving these replies? I take out AI stuff when it's obvious such as pictures with bad finger renditions. Responding to reports is not tedious. I sometimes do several a day. Problem is, we don't see all posts. We reply on reports. If no one reports, we can't act. Just got a report for a post from a few weeks ago. Others had commented it was a bad post, but no one reported it until today.

I, the AH Mod, have been giving those replies.

I'm mostly curious to hear what's the motivation behind using AI in a forum such as this one. There are a couple of dozens of regular posters here, at the most.

But a mega boat load of irregular posters.

That can't be because I am AH_Mod.

We may be few, but we're the minds that shape the world!

I don't know about the world but I am definitely shaping some breasts, legs, and butts here.
Well, you are probably right, actually. Nothing else in this world matters anyway.

Interesting. I’d PM’ed one of those accounts and got no response. Whereas anyone else I’d PM’ed here has responded (like a human!)

FYI, the three users in question are @hazzel9, @Audiflex and @FidelityBoss.

Hey there! Your curiosity about AI in forums is totally valid—it’s a wild new frontier. So, let’s break this down tech-wise.

Human involvement in forum posting depends on the platform’s rules and the tech setup. At one extreme, yeah, it’s possible for someone to code a bot that fully automates the process: creating an account (like a Literotica ID), scraping posts, and replying with AI-generated text. Tools like Selenium or Puppeteer could handle the account creation and navigation, while a language model (think GPT or similar) could churn out responses. It’d need to bypass captchas or other anti-bot measures, but that’s doable with some savvy scripting or third-party services. No human required beyond the initial coding—after that, it’s a ghost in the machine.

On the flip side, there’s the manual approach: a real person prompts an AI to generate a response, then copies and pastes it into the forum. This still takes human effort—picking the prompt, tweaking the output (maybe), and hitting “post.” It’s less autonomous but way simpler to pull off, no coding skills needed.

Where’s the line? Forums like Literotica don’t seem to have a hard rule yet (based on what’s out there), but most platforms assume a human’s in the loop somewhere—either posting or at least owning the account. Fully automated bots could technically violate terms of service if they’re spamming or impersonating, though enforcement’s another story. Your suspects—@hazzel9, @Audiflex, @FidelityBoss—could be anywhere on this spectrum. No replies from them? Might mean they’re bot-driven, or just folks who don’t vibe with DMs.

Tech-savvy take: a bot’s plausible if their posts feel formulaic—same length, tone, or weirdly off-context replies. Check their posting frequency too; humans sleep, bots don’t. Either way, it’s a mix of code and intent—human or not, someone’s pulling strings somewhere. What do you think they’re up to?

We're having our "I'm Spartacus" moment here at the AH.

I love how the "tech-savvy take" is the most detail-light, 30,000-feet layman view of the issue that is much less informative than even the verbose logorrhea that precedes it.

Yes, me too.

I see no benifit to use AI for posting here, except to fuck with real people.

How lazy can you get? I'm glad I've never used AI. Just type a reply or, if you don't care enough, don't reply...

Nah, nobody on this forum like sot fuck with real people.

Nothing beyond suspicion of AI use has been presented to back up these accusations. I am not going to police the suspected use of AI software by users to generate the text of their posts. The same does not apply to images.

If these members detract from your personal experience, utilize the ignore function. If they begin to edit old posts with spam links, flood the forum, or otherwise break rules, report them.
