He's in this forum too, https://forum.hddguru.com/memberlist.ph ... le&u=40887 as well as in RecoveryForce forum, https://www.recoveryforce.com/forums/me ... ile&u=1264. An "AI" experiment?

AI is getting scary. I recently read an article, half of which was written by a human, and half by ChatGPT. I couldn't tell the difference.

However, in this case I suspect that the user is setting themselves up to promote some spammy data recovery software.

The AI bot appears to be Polish (according to the flag):

Here it is asking for a refund:

I hope Data-Medics take the opportunity to play with this bot. It would be interesting to watch.

Ask the bot which data recovery software it prefers.

Contact it via PM.

Too late; it's been dispatched.

On my Recovery Force forums, I lock the editing of suspected spammer posts just in case I forget about them and they don't get caught as spammers before they start editing posts.

It was already banned on my forum, though I left the one post there. The is the second bot with similary style posting that I've had this month, so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of them. So, the next time it happens, I might just do that with the PM and see where it leads.

Not that particular bot, but openAI bot said:
Q: what is the best flash recovery software?

A: The best flash recovery software depends on your specific needs and requirements. Some popular options include Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Stellar Data Recovery.


I see it has weaknesses :)

That was its last post, on Sunday, just before it was banned by an admin. Or am I missing something?

It looks like I'm missing something because I can't see any ban. :-?

I think he is joking. I would have given the bot a thumbs-up, too. :-)

What's even scarier for me is that the bot can make sense of SMS-ese rubbish.

The username has strike-through characters, signifying it has been banned, I think.
