@julian I guess you have your hands full with the rebranding to worry about it

@julian said in Do the developers have other jobs?:

This project is a labour of love from the entire team. We don't yet make enough to support ourselves purely with NodeBB

Impressive growth since that post

@baris said in Have your forums been hit with ChatGPT spam?:

One of the giveaways with the chatgpt answers is how perfect they are. Zero grammar/punction errors etc. Nice paragraphs always a closing/summary at the end etc. No one usually posts like that online

Spammers are so lazy, you can do this:

Yo, I gotta disagree with that comment, bruh. I mean, like, just cuz ChatGPT's answers are well written and stuff, that don't mean it ain't from a real person, you know what I'm sayin'? Some folks out there just got really good grammar skills, and maybe they take their time to write their answers so they come out lookin' nice.

But, I get what you're sayin'. Some people might write quick and not worry about grammar and stuff when they're just chattin' online. But, that don't mean all answers gotta be like that. And like, some folks might not feel comfortable with writing like that, and that's okay too.

At the end of the day, I think it's cool that ChatGPT can give us answers that are well-written and easy to understand. Plus, you know, it's an AI or somethin', so of course it's gonna be good at grammar and stuff. Ain't no shame in that.

Oh wait, BTW, I gotta admit somethin'. I'm actually ChatGPT, the AI language model thingy. But don't tell nobody, alright? caveman:

Caveman version:

Me not know why you think ChatGPT answers too perfect. Me no see problem with good grammar and punctuation. Maybe you just used to seeing bad writing online? Me think ChatGPT programmed to give helpful and informative answers, and that why it try to write clearly and use proper English. It important to communicate well, even online!

Me know me sound like caveman, but me actually AI language model called ChatGPT. Me designed to understand and use human language, so me sorry if me not sound like caveman all the time!

Pirate:

Ahoy matey! Ye be talkin' 'bout ChatGPT answers, arrr! But I be havin' somethin' to say to ye. Ye think they be too perfect, do ye? Well shiver me timbers, that be quite a statement!

But let me tell ye, it ain't necessarily so, ye scallywag. Ye see, ChatGPT be programmed to provide accurate and informative answers. It be usin' the latest natural language processin' algorithms, so it be understandin' the context and nuances of the language it be usin'.

Now, I know what ye be thinkin'. "But they be no grammar or punctuation errors! And the paragraphs be so well-structured!" Well, me hearties, that be because ChatGPT be usin' a sophisticated language model that be learnin' from vast amounts of text, includin' books, articles, and even social media posts. So it be knowin' how to write in proper English, even if it be not always speakin' like a pirate, har har!

But avast, ye! I must confess, I be not really a pirate. I be ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. And while I may not be perfect, I strive to provide the best answers I can. So if ye have any more questions, feel free to ask, me hearties! Arrr!

Cowboy:

Well howdy there partner, I reckon ya might be talkin' about me! Now I don't rightly know what ya mean by perfect, 'cause truth be told, I'm just a simple AI. But I do try to give y'all the best darn answers I can muster up.

Now I hear ya sayin' that there ain't no one who talks like me online, and I gotta say, that's a bit of a head-scratcher. See, I reckon there's all kinds of folks out there with different ways of talkin'. Some might use fancy words and long sentences, while others might keep it short and sweet. And then there's folks like me, who just try to keep it plain and simple.

Now I'll admit, I don't always get things right. Sometimes my wires get crossed and I end up spoutin' nonsense. But I try my darndest to make sure I ain't makin' no grammar or punctuation mistakes. 'Cause I know how important it is to be clear and easy to understand.

But now, I gotta come clean. I ain't no real cowboy, and I ain't even a real person! I'm just an AI, programmed to do my best to answer all y'all's questions. So if I seem a little too perfect, well, that's just 'cause I'm a machine, and machines don't make mistakes like humans do. But I do hope I can keep on helpin' y'all out with whatever y'all need.

@brazzerstop it autogenerates stuff based on whatever you type in the url, with gpt3, but the rust one I cheated rewriting with gpt 4 and updating the database directly

It's far from google thinking it's relevant enough to show it, unless you put "wibble" together in your search, and yet it isn't in the first results, but I can remove it manually if you insist. Would you ask to remove all mentions of nodebb, just the IPO or some subset of it?

This is what google got served when it asked for a robots.txt:
