AI Posts

Watch out for AI posts. I just noticed and deleted a fake account posting AI-generated generated content. It's pretty obvious (see screenshot below) but make sure you don't waste your time engaging. As the tech gets more advanced it will become more difficult to moderate this sort of thing.

It does sound like AI after reading some of it. Still was peculiar that they were talking about animals and not animal toys.

The AI was answering the questions posited in the thread titles. Don't know if it was a bot account, or someone manually copy-pasting AI-generated answers. Either way, it's not real content.

Oh wow, those are some impressive AI generated posts. I'm usually pretty good at picking up on BOT posts but I never would have assumed that those were AI. I guess the username is the biggest giveaway here.

I agree it's not real content. But even the participation of these AI accounts still creates, at least some, activity for the site which would attract further attention from large search engines like Google.
Perhaps I'm just being too optimistic here, but those posts alone freshened up their respective threads enough to gain additional discussion from others which they might've not have gotten otherwise.

It's true that the AI content on this occasion spurned some real participation.

The question then is do the ends justify the means? My feeling is that it would be unethical to knowingly host AI content in this way.

You know I I thought something was a little off about those posts but I just figured it was a slightly odd person being eccentric and didn't think anything more of it.  Oy...

As the tech gets better eventually we won't be able to tell at all. I should run some blog-related requests through and AI generator and see what comes out: "Write a review of the Papo Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur toy that recommends it but also criticises the anatomy". I'd be curious what comes out! Might save me some time.

I dunno, if you want to criticize Papo dino anatomy, it may take time 

Adam, not sure if this is a discussion in your field, but there is concern in mine of people using AI to write scientific manuscripts. I've already said I'll never publish with someone that uses ChatGPT to write their work (unless, of course, they are willing to relinquish authorship and give it to ChatGPT      )

It isn't an interesting subject that bmathison1972 brings up.

In a world where supercomputers are literally at everyone's fingertips and knowledge is ever abundant what point is there in having a "professional"? (Obviously a lot of professions require experience but for some of them any nerd with a computer or phone could spend some time reading and get similar results).

But I feel like I'm getting off on a tangent now

Not in my research field per se, but lecturer friends at the local universities tell me students using it to write assignments and reports is becoming a problem.

Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT to "Write a positive review of the Papo T. rex toy that also criticises its anatomy". It took seconds to come up with this...

The Papo T. rex toy is undeniably a thrilling addition to any dinosaur enthusiast's collection. Its captivating features and impressive level of detail make it an exciting toy for both children and adults alike. While the toy may have a few minor anatomical inaccuracies, its overall appeal and playability outweigh these flaws.

One of the standout qualities of the Papo T. rex toy is its exceptional craftsmanship. The toy boasts a robust build and sturdy construction, ensuring it can withstand the enthusiastic play of even the most energetic children. The level of detail in the sculpting is commendable, capturing the essence of the Tyrannosaurus rex with its fierce expression and realistic texture.

Additionally, the toy offers an engaging and immersive play experience. Its articulation allows for various poses, adding an extra layer of excitement during playtime. Children can unleash their imagination and create thrilling scenes inspired by the dinosaur's presence, enhancing their storytelling abilities and cognitive development.

However, it is worth mentioning that the toy does exhibit some minor anatomical flaws. While Papo has made efforts to replicate the T. rex's formidable appearance, there are a few inaccuracies in the toy's anatomy. For example, the arms of the T. rex are slightly undersized, which doesn't accurately reflect the dinosaur's proportions as we currently understand them. The tail could have been a bit longer as well, to match the real creature's balance and movement.

Despite these small anatomical inaccuracies, the Papo T. rex toy remains a remarkable addition to any dinosaur-themed collection. Its visually appealing design and superb quality make it a captivating piece that ignites the imagination and sparks curiosity about prehistoric life. Whether used for play or display, this toy is sure to delight both children and dinosaur enthusiasts alike.

In conclusion, the Papo T. rex toy offers an engaging and fun play experience. Its craftsmanship and attention to detail are praiseworthy, capturing the essence of the mighty T. rex. While there are minor anatomical inaccuracies, the overall appeal and durability of the toy make it a worthwhile addition to any dinosaur lover's collection. Let your imagination run wild as you embark on epic adventures with this awe-inspiring T. rex toy.

I mean, it's not good, but it's not bad either, at least not as bad as I expected. It would fool many readers I'm sure.

And to pit it against Blaine I also asked it to "Write a review of the Revogeo line Japanese Carpenter Ants toys by Kaiyodo". It took a few seconds to come up with this...I wonder if it was mining your review from today?

Rating: ★★★★☆

Review:

As a collector of intricate and unique toys, I recently had the pleasure of adding the Revogeo line Japanese Carpenter Ants toys by Kaiyodo to my collection. Known for their attention to detail and craftsmanship, Kaiyodo has once again delivered a fascinating and realistic product that captivates both collectors and enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of these toys is their incredible level of detail. Each ant figurine is meticulously sculpted to capture the distinctive characteristics of the Japanese Carpenter Ant species. From the segmented bodies to the antennae and mandibles, every aspect of these insects has been accurately reproduced. The texture and coloring of the ants further contribute to their lifelike appearance, making them a true marvel to behold.

The quality of the materials used in the production of these toys is commendable. The figures are made of durable and lightweight PVC, ensuring their longevity while also allowing for easy handling and posing. The joints are well-designed, providing a wide range of articulation without compromising the overall stability of the figures. This attention to functionality is appreciated, as it allows collectors to create dynamic scenes and poses.

The Revogeo line Japanese Carpenter Ants toys also come with a variety of accessories and interchangeable parts, adding to their playability and customization options. The set includes different ant species variations, as well as additional parts such as wings, thoraxes, and legs that can be interchanged between figures. This versatility allows collectors to create unique displays and experiment with different configurations.

One aspect that could be improved is the packaging. While the figures themselves are superb, the packaging feels somewhat generic and lacks the same level of attention to detail. Considering the premium nature of these toys, a more visually appealing and collector-friendly packaging design would enhance the overall experience.

Despite this minor drawback, the Revogeo line Japanese Carpenter Ants toys by Kaiyodo are an impressive addition to any collection. With their exceptional craftsmanship, remarkable attention to detail, and the ability to create captivating displays, these toys are sure to enthrall both toy enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Kaiyodo has once again proven its mastery in capturing the essence of the natural world through its exquisite craftsmanship.

Overall, I highly recommend the Revogeo line Japanese Carpenter Ants toys to collectors who appreciate the beauty of nature and seek meticulously crafted and lifelike figures. These toys offer a unique and immersive experience that showcases the wonders of the miniature world.

the AI is clearly just pulling random information about ants and assembly-required toys generally. There is nothing specific for these figures, and there are errors (e.g., the figures don't come with wings)

Reading those all I could think of was the Jurassic Park quote...

"We're out of the job."
"Don't you mean extinct?"

But no, that's not really how I feel. The reviews are vague and repetitive, and also inaccurate. Like the Papo T. rex having "undersized arms" when the opposite is true. That review could be for just about any T. rex toy. In fact, I wonder how much a review for a different T. rex would differ from that one.   

[AnimalToyForum]

Yeah, I don't think we need to worry just yet!

But each time AI and ChatGPT is being used it is being improved.

And honestly, if it can provide good information that is not biased then why not welcome it?

[AnimalToyForum]

But each time AI and ChatGPT is being used it is being improved.

And honestly, if it can provide good information that is not biased then why not welcome it?

I asked AI "If AI can provide good information that is not biased then why not welcome it?"  Here's what it said:

AI can indeed provide valuable information and insights that are not biased. Many organizations and individuals do welcome and utilize AI for its potential to enhance decision-making processes, automate tasks, and generate accurate and unbiased analysis. AI can process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and provide objective recommendations based on the available information.

However, it's important to note that AI systems are not inherently unbiased. They are developed and trained by humans, and they can inadvertently inherit biases from the data they are trained on or the algorithms used to create them. Biases can emerge from various sources, including the data used for training, the design choices made by developers, or the societal biases that exist in the world.

Addressing bias in AI is crucial to ensure fairness and prevent the perpetuation or amplification of existing inequalities. It requires careful consideration of the data used for training, the evaluation of algorithmic performance across different demographic groups, and ongoing monitoring and improvement of the AI system.

While AI can be a powerful tool, it should not replace human judgment and critical thinking. It should be used as a complement to human expertise, with humans taking responsibility for verifying and contextualizing the information provided by AI systems. By combining the strengths of AI with human intelligence, we can harness the benefits of technology while ensuring that the decisions made are fair, ethical, and aligned with human values.
