Is The Forum Software Turning AI Loose On Posts?
I have started to notice changes happening to some of my posts. I have seen words changed, like "kind" to "child". I have seen some words become capitalized where in English they wouldn't be. When I go back to the editing view (if the post hasn't been published) the text will be as written but in the Preview mode and when published these changes show up.
I had a chunk of one comment go missing. Maybe it was an operator error but it's hard realistically to see how.
"kind" <-> "child" sounds like a German translation kind of thing. Whatever, something has messed with some recent posts and it has the smell of AI.
Does anyone know about this?
Howdy, Stranger!

Haven't noticed it. Maybe your browser or a browser extension is trying to be "helpful"?
Not that I'm aware, nor that I installed on purpose. The latest instances were changing "cool!" to "cool cool" and changing "be able" to "beable". A single f"cool" without the exclamation point was left alone. I wonder if it isn't the Forum's Markdown converter since all the text reads correctly in the editor view.
Here is an example from today (on a different thread). Sasha replied to my post and asked a question
original comment -
@tomp Do you distinguish between syllogisms and arguments or is the separation an artefact of note creation?
I replied and Sasha'a posted comment got changed -
As it appears in my comment to this remark -

I count 4 changes to Sasha's text.
cool! That was a test. I don't see an AI interference.

I don't seem to get the same changes every time I type the same thing in a different comment. Only within the same comment during writing and editing it. But i haven't done much investigation.
I will try using my other browser but since the changes have happened between the edit and the rendered views, I'll be very surprised if I get a different result.
