Is AI "reading" and commenting on/rehashing some of our threads?

I was doing a web search for my box of 20 thread, linked below, and ran into a page that did "insights" into the thread. It seems to copy some of the wording and then rearrange it or reword things to sound different or offer some added thoughts. It has the feel of some "AI" summaries that I have seen outside of coins.

Does anyone know about this website or if this is someone who is here on CoinTalk?

If you ever google anything, the top "results?" will be their AI summary. It isn't great, but it has been getting better.

Try searching for a very specific topic that you know has at least a couple CoinTalk threads. You'll be surprised.

And in reference to a recent thread referencing the "bots" on the site... almost certainly, many of the bots are scouring the site for AI.

 

I have seen the google AI summaries and answers to some of the more common coin questions via AI. What I have not seen is someone start their own website to comment about my box of 20 or @lordmarcovan calendar idea.

I don't think I've ever been "plagiarized" before.. even by AI

 

There is a sort of similar thread over on NGC, somebody posting a 1985 "dot" experimental cent, convinced that it's valuable because of the dot, and I'm not sure where experimental came from. He posts an AI response that says the 1985 experimental dot cent is worth thousands, and AI cites "CoinWeek reporting." I go looking for this CoinWeek article about a 1985 experimental dot cent. The only article that I could find is "1985 Lincoln Cent : A Collector’s Guide", and the only reference to a dot and experimental is in a comment on the article! Presumably from the same person posting on NGC ("gene" versus "geno"). So apparently this guy thinks he has something valuable, comments to ask about it on a CoinWeek article that's about 1985 cents in general, then asks AI about it, and AI authoritatively tells him what he wants to hear based on his own post about it.
