Not sure if anyone else has this problem but when I go to click on the stars for my rating nothing happens. As a result I can't post the review because it has to have a rating. It's like that whether I'm using my lap top or I pad.

Well, it's the website itsel basically trying to tell you "Enough!" after being wounded by so many AI reviews.

I don't even know what an AI review is. Is it a program that does reviews for you? Considering I have trouble writing a proper sentence I should look into it.

Well yeah. It's a program that writes mostly blanket statements and meaningless bullshіt when you tell it to write a review. It can be used wisely, just as anything. I've heard it can be semi-useful for paraphrasing or summarizing existing writing. Sometimes. I mean, it's a lottery, just like with all machine learning.

I noticed one guy from Finland who does a lot of reviews on his own site, saying he uses it because english isn't his first language.
I am the worst for not knowing how to even do a proper sentence. My least favourite class in high school was english and when I started dong reviews here man they were bad. Re-did them all at one point, then years later was asked by the powers that be on the site here at the time to spruce up(I guess you could say) my reviews because I had done the most reviews on the site. I agreed and did it, man it took a long, long time to go through them all, probably missed some.
Anyway thanks for the info!

And I can post reviews again so I'm happy. I'm off work with damaged ribs right now so it helps pass the time. Thankyou!

I appreciate it, It's a slow process.

And still having trouble posting reviews

^ Steve I have stories, it's been a week to forget.
I can't post a review for the album "L'inferno" by I SINCOPATICI which is actually under Claudio Milano's name. I have tried several times. A glitch maybe. Bizarre but I'll move on I just feel bad since Claudio sent it to me and I'm in love with this ART ZOYD flavoured soundtrack. Not fair!

If I were him, I would post my reviews in Finnish only. And done. Still, he at least lets the readers know that the English text is AI assisted.

I think he simply uses machine translation though. Machine translation is different, because it generates the output based on the original text, except in English, not Finnish, preserving its original meaning or at least the majority of it. The kind of AI bot reviews I've been complaining about are simply machine generating the text out of thin air. And what's even worse is that they're not labeled as such and whichever greedy doofus is behind all this tries convince the less competent reader that it isn't AI. So, essentially they're not genuine reviews plus they're de facto pieces of misinformation. Fuсk them!

^ I completely agree, with english not his first language getting some aide makes sense.
There seems to be a lot controversy over AI even with cover art etc. I get that it's a tool to help but...
On the other hand I think the art part of it would be fun to play with. This technology is only going to get better too I'm sure.

"Better" is subjective. If by "better" you mean "harder to distinguish from human made content", then I'm 10000% against it getting "better". Because in the end, it's mostly gonna weaponize scammers like nothing ever has before. It already is. Regressive Fart is a "living" example!

Judging by your way of thinking, mosquitos "got better" when they started spreading malaria.

I received a message from an Italian artist recently who told me he used DeepL.com(free version) to send me an english message.

There's a difference between using machine translation for communication and using it for writing your authorized publications. ;)

Yep, this is happening to me right now. Never happened before. On my old computer as well as my new one. I fail to see why we should worry about AI music being added to this site when simple basic things like these glitches are keeping this site relegated to ultimate doom as the cyberworld evolves :/

If i had the inclination to set up a whole website i'd do it but not my destiny ;)
