Elliot's Microblogging

Few minutes of deliberation and another few guiding the agents.

so you did use AI?

uhh, i think you should have mentioned it. even if your post isnt directly using AI. ik nothing about coding, but it seems like you gave coding advice that you found through ai. i think that should’ve been disclosed, especially after all the AI issues you’ve had recently on the forum.

Apologies. I used AI. Thanks for pointing it out. I should have mentioned it.

I know theres rules about using ai, but dont a lot of young people use it these days? Like, it’s so automatic for them and maybe it’s even in their language too. Isnt that a problem for young newcomers on the forum?

Idk if @Oracle is a young newcomer

Maybe once but not after warnings.

I think I remember seeing the warnings but @oracle isn’t following them it seems or heeding them. I think the AI rules are important to follow but it seems @Oracle doesn’t understand them well or something. I think it’s very automated for them to use AI. I also don’t know their intentions well, like when they said they wanted to be here to learn and understand the ideas:

In Specialist Creators with Small Audiences

What if we’re like falling for someone who wants to fill the forum with a bunch of AI stuff. LIke, on purpose.

Idk what’s the correct course of action, but if they’re genuine maybe they should only get a subtopic where they can reply to other posts from there so their writing isn’t all over the place.

@Oracle can get practice for disclosing using AI in his subtopic and when he gets better he can start posting at other forum topics.

This felt very different to me because I wasn’t posting text I had AI write or edit or even check grammar for. I had an idea about the lifecycle issue and guided AI to review it. I’ll disclose this stuff too in the future.

I have no intention of doing that.

It felt like trolling to me because clearly neither you nor your agent actually read the linked Github page you were commenting on, where I’d already brought up appending transiently.

Yes I didn’t check the PR discussion carefully enough and that was careless on my part. Elliot's Microblogging - #342 by Oracle was a quick reactive post. It jumped out as an idempotency issue to me: some state seemed like it should be per reload but it was being kept persistently. I was using my question as a direction check before trying to say more because I don’t know Rails internals.

By different I meant using AI for technical coding help felt different from using AI for grammar help but I’ll disclose that too going forward.

This sounds just like AI. There are videos making fun of AI that use this type of language too, because it is so distinctive.

Why would you keep writing messages that sound like AI, when you are already being accused of AI use, and you know you aren’t supposed to be using undisclosed AI? The fact that you did it when responding to a conversation about your earlier undisclosed AI use is even weirder. It kind of seems like trolling at this point.

That assumes a lot. I’m speaking the way I speak. I’m trying to watch for this but I don’t know how to reliably make everything I say sound like not AI. If you’re saying I had AI write that line for me, I didn’t.

As I understand it trolling has to do with deliberately antagonizing or disrupting. Can you give concrete examples of me “deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content”?
