Responding to Accusations of AI Usage

[ForgottenSeer 123960]

It has been stated by a member of this forum that “half of us use AI in our posts and it is made clear by the artefacts we do not remove”. The topic was closed (probably per the user request) so they can have the last word.

So my comment on my AI usage:

In my reviews: such as the McAfee review AI was not used neither to help with analysis, nor to generate or correct generated text.
The only purpose of AI (Google Gemini) was to convert a messy JSON file to a presentable table, something which would have required me to write a custom parser or copy/paste manually.

In my day to day posts: AI is not used in any way, including but not limited to copying members responses and pasting them on LLMs so I can “one-up” them and show “how much better I am then them”.

In my projects: such as the Orion Malware Cleaner and Analyse It! (both of them getting renamed to HEAP and HEAT) AI is used to allow me to accelerate the development and check for errors, as well as to scan for critical logical flaws which could be fatal. This is now a standard in development, specially in development that is “one-man-show”.
The logics, the heuristics, the UI (down to the smallest detail like the animations of the modals) is custom and not the result of AI.
AI is used to make texts look professional to the user.

In summary, I would like to point out once more and re-iterate that my usage of Google Gemini is responsible and not for me to “one-up” users or pretend to be something I am not!

I’ve done my fair share of hard work to create engaging content for MalwareTips community and I’ve done it long before ChatGPT was a thing.
Various threads of mine have been hot and trending for weeks not once or twice, unlike other members that are here for very different reasons. From their 15th account.

Trident you and your direct attacks are rediculous , paranoid much?

I did not have that thread closed. I do not even know who closed it, but it sounds like your stating Moderation plays favorites and does not enforce the rules evenly.

You have used AI in many post. I'm tired of hearing about this. You have seen my tools I've built and know I research and analyze everything. You are also aware I use AI to rewrite my post and why. I told you in a PM long before anyone said anything. You do not state this openly though because you are show boating and trying to rally everyone to stand behind you (or as in this case under you) because you act like you own and run this place.

Tell me is that AI analysis in your tool you have. Where did you get such an idea? You pull this crap all the time when you think your "top" position here at that this forum is in jeopardy. Like this seriously means something. Do you need a trophy, or a badge to feel better about yourself. How about a unique title would that stop this pissing contest you constantly push for and then act like it's the other users fault.

Yes I will call out behavior. If you want to act like a toddler throwing a fit , or the school yard bullys trying to get everyone to gang up on someone, I will call you out. I do not need to be here helping others, I can go to another platform and share knowledge so I could care less either way. What is there like, 20-25 members at any given time in here anyway. Why do you think that is @Trident and @Jack ? Do a Google search or use AI and look it up. It's because of unfair moderation and misinformation and this right here the personal attacks and gang up style.

Well Mr I will post and rally the troops, I hope you enjoyed this full on truth session. Cry for truth and you shall receive, but may not like.

Truth Bomb

To anger an honest person, lie to them.

To anger a narcissist, tell them the truth.

AI is so horrible, read this carefully and realize that some of us are not just asking AI for answers to post. We build tools, perform analysis, dig through all the "slop" to get accurate answers with them. We rewrite posts to be factual and emotion less or to correct Grammer as some stated which I do as well.

Go ahead and jump on the band wagon with members that lie and act much different behind closed doors then they do in the board. Mean while I will help members who need it until you all gang up and coherce the owner into moderation or a ban because that's how we roll here huh fellas.

This post is for all those that think AI is only capable of slop. It's because you do not know how to use it properly to get the best results.

Any idiot can troll a forum using A.I.

It's not trolling. Use of AI for all forms of communications is now everyday practice online and in social exchanges everywhere.

Even top university students use it regularly to debate each other. Then they use it routinely in their daily lives.

If it is good enough for the Swiss Polytechnic Institute, Oxford and Harvard, then it is good enough for MT.

Depends on the usage bazang.

Handling customer complaints, writing research papers and so on, yeah. Great. Saves a lot of time.

But there are other usages which start to look like trolling.

Hey everyone! I’ve been reading the recent discussions about artificial intelligence (AI) and wanted to share my honest opinion—not as an expert, just as a regular member who enjoys being part of this community.

AI is everywhere now. People use it to write better, fix grammar, understand complex stuff, and yes, even to help create content. Personally, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. If it helps us save time and improve what we post, why not use it?

Here in the forum, some folks use AI to clean up data, check their writing, or even build tools. That’s totally fine, as long as the content is helpful and made with care. Using AI doesn’t mean someone’s cheating or trying to look smarter than others. We’re all here to learn, share, and help each other out.

What matters most is being honest about how we use AI and treating each other with respect. Everyone has their own way of doing things, and that’s what makes this place interesting.

Again, checking your own posts (or doing whatever you want with your posts) is ok.

But routinely copy/pasting everyone’s posts to various instructed AIs becomes creepy, don’t you agree?

Exactly and users like myself have made it known I use AI to rewrite post and also build and use research analysis tools.

I see mentioned trolling here in this thread, there are many forms of this. Including posting while using deflection, twisting words, name calling, using plausible deniability tactics like instead of saying names saying "some user that just posted before me" kinda crud as if this legal loop hole really matters in a forum where everyone has rights and opinions.

It boils down to users who do not like a post turning into something it's not to silence or discredit. Let's be real honest folks. I have been try it.

Yes, I get it. However, if the new outrage at MT is going to be about AI usage and stating this or that usage is trolling, then that is just a variation on "This person's posts are trolling." 99.999% claims and complaints of "This person is trolling" have one and only one purpose - to silence that person. And, well, anybody that knows me already knows that I am 100% anti-censorship except in the case of the posting of illegal content.

I don't take any "accusations" made here or anywhere else online - at least the ones directed at me - seriously. As for "accusations" or aspersions cast at others, well... those don't involve me.

I don't know... I kinda like it. And @Bot is OK.

I just do not get what the controversy is all about - so what if anybody uses AI?

But if used for research writing, it is then plagiarism.

 

[ForgottenSeer 123960]

Let them use it. But it’s annoying having someone after you like a retired mother-in-law all the time checking, verifying and putting their nose everywhere. Where it doesn’t belong.
You see what I mean?

Is this the pot calling the kettle black.

Matter of perspective init?

 

[Trident]

But if used for research writing, it is then plagiarism.

Yeah and AI checkers are used for university works.

 

[ForgottenSeer 123960]

But if used for research writing, it is then plagiarism.

How would it be different than using Google search to find facts to write reports?

This should be an interesting answer coming next, especially since Google search is integrated with AI now.

 

[ForgottenSeer 114717]

Does MT need a "No AI Safe Space"?

Someone needs to create a poll and MT membership needs to vote on the issue. A MT plebiscite.

Majority requires a 2/3rds "Yeah" or "Nay" with a minimum of 500 votes.

Hi Trident, I just wanted to say that I really agree with you. It’s clear that you approach things with responsibility and thoughtfulness, and that’s something I truly appreciate. Your posts always bring value—even if some topics go over my head due to my limited technical knowledge. Still, what I do understand is always helpful and interesting. Thanks for sharing your work with such dedication.

 

[ForgottenSeer 114717]

But if used for research writing, it is then plagiarism.

The use of AI to improve writing style, correct grammar, etc is not generally considered plagiarism.

Plagiarism requires the undisclosed use of others' work product and passing it off as your own.

• Submitting a published or unpublished work, in part or whole, under one’s own name.
• Using another’s ideas, arguments, or unique phrasings without appropriate citation.
• Presenting reworked or paraphrased material without acknowledging the original source.

Hi Divergent, I hear you—and I really appreciate the way you’ve expressed your thoughts. I agree with your point about being open and honest when using AI. Everyone works differently, and as long as there’s respect and transparency, I think we can all contribute something valuable to the community.

 

[ForgottenSeer 123960]

Take a look folks, I just demonstrated how easy it is to fool people with AI written material. I had bot analyze a post to see if it was written with ai.

I used a tool I built to convert my post into sounding human and ripping out artifacts that are detectable by ai. Essentially I could state I wrote it myself and no one could prove any different. How did I do this, well because of know what to look for and Im very good at building these. So if I stated e I see artifacts in posts that show a AI was used, you can bet I'm very accurate at it. Now do not get me wrong, just because someone uses bullet points ECT dies not mean they have used AI. Bbcode formatting is not hard to use and can easily build posts this way. Certain sentence structure and punctuation give it away though.

No; plagiarism is using work of others in the same exact "words" without rephrasing, even if the authors are added as a reference; it's my bread and butter.

 

[ForgottenSeer 123960]

Here's mine and bots view on how structured post using AI can be viewed. By the way if you have not read this thread you should, I prove how easy it is to fool AI assisted scanners looking for AI content with a tool I built just this morning for a demonstration. I fooled bot with a post he though was human. Completely written by ai and ran through a humanizing tool.
