Is AI invading this forum?

[Tyler Divin]

Is it just me or are we being invaded by AI users?  I suspect a bunch of the posts in the past couple weeks are coming from AI profiles.

As a follow up...if this is in fact happening...why?  What's the angle/end goal?

It is becoming more and more a waste of time to peruse the posts. A large percentage of Posters have fewer than a dozen or so posts, and many of those are same exact, or similar, topic posted to different subforums. They clearly make no attempt to search the site for recent comments on their base topic. Alternatively, they clearly have no clue of the most basic subjects, yet are "curious" (word of the month, apparently) to learn what issues actual investors/PM's have so they can provide an AI solution, presumably to sell at some point. In some cases it seems like they are just trying to get a "simple" cut and paste solution to deeply involved and detailed problems. 

I don't mind giving some details, but some of these posts are asking for full documents to "share". First of all, they don't even have a clue about their own local laws, and secondly, they don't seem to know how to perform basic searches and separate the wheat from the chaff.

Add to that incredibly basic questions tossed around with such confidence, actually  implying that they have a deep understanding in other aspects of the business...but actually have no idea what of what they do not know.

Maybe I'm just getting old. Or maybe it's because I'm fighting with AI at Dell Support to resolve a subscription issue. Too bad, as the saying goes, I've forgotten more than a lot of these posers will ever know. 

With no legit conversational posts under their belt, they just have zero credibility, and I am now limiting my responses accordingly.
