Why has CJ been banned?

Post by Nessie »

Why has Confused Jew been banned? Is it his use of AI, or is there more to it?

Where have you been? Explained repeatedly.

AI plagiarism/academic dishonesty. He got two temporary bans yet he refused to stop doing it even though I told him he would be banned if it continued. It was his choice.

He had been getting warnings since he first arrived.

Using AI as a tool to assist with research is fine. Posting AI-generated text as if it were your own words is not fine. You should verify everything with real sources before posting, and your posts should reflect your own thoughts on the topic, expressed in your own words.

ConfusedJew's AI copy-pasting allowed him to post prolifically with zero effort while knowing nothing about the topic. He was offering commentary and opinion about things he knew nothing about, and his posts were filled with errors (AI "hallucinations"). It is a waste of everyone's time to reply to high-volume, hallucination-filled garbage, and I have to wonder if wasting our time was not his entire goal. (Much the same could be said of your posting style, incidentally.)
