I can't post a review right now

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

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.

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

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!

"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.

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