Ah shucks, the GPT commission bot scams are here too

Posted by GlitchyPSI - 5 days ago


Right, the scam that's been rife on Discord, Bluesky/X and countless other platforms has now reached me here. Unsure if it's reached anybody else so far but thought I'd highlight it here for knowledge's sake


This last user is "isabellario1123".

Along with the fact that they're a very new account, this word choice is very consistent with the use of LLMs. Things like "bringing ideas to life" and funny adjectives that you don't see that often when talking even in a professional request setting (remember all the word soup in the Wonka Experience?)


I took a glance at their artwork and I also noticed some Diffusion model style noise artifacts, but small, despite the artwork seemingly being touched up. It really needs to be seen close to find out about this.

Keep an eye out. I've been seeing some games being submitted to the Portal which clearly use genAI assets and now this happened.

Ah, I've seen these scams elsewhere, thanks for the warning anyway!!

Damn....thanks for the warning!

haha they messaged me too

Hope they can easily get banned since all they upload is AI slop. and NG is against that.

1st) Thanks for telling us. Catching those kinds of accounts is greatly appreciated.

2nd) I forwarded this News Post to TomFulp this time, so right now you don't need to do anything. But for the future: Please also 'report' these cretins, to make sure their accounts get removed posthaste.

For a detailed explanation you can search for "How do I report/"flag" [stuff]?" and "Somebody keeps harassing me with different accounts." here:

(The reasons for the removal of the account are different, but the principles of getting there are the same. A PM to Mr. Fulp [ https://tomfulp.newgrounds.com/ ] will always do wonders if somebody is doing something shady.)

Thanks! I posted mainly to have people keep an eye because not everyone seems to have an eye for AI art (been seeing a lot of submissions to the Portal that are super suspicious) besides reporting, which I did! I try not to bother staff directly because I understand staff may be busy with both the site and life in general, but if it's fine then I'll do it more often if I see more egregious examples of shady stuff.

@GlitchyPSI I can not speak for the moderation team directly, but I am confident that they would say something along the lines of "That's why we're doing this, dude. Don't sweat it!"

You can't control how much shady stuff goes down at any given day either - so reporting can vary as well. It takes the 'Geometry Dash-crowd' as less minutes to generate some slop in Suno AI than the track they upload plays for. Having more people to "filter" stuff is _always_ welcome - regardless of the Portal you're in and the kind of rule breaking you're facing.

Plus: You have users like 'me' who report on so much stuff that the mod reading 'your' message would likely rejoice and shout "Finally! Somebody other that [Those 4] is sending us something..." ;)

Oh that's amazing LOL
Thanks for the tip! I'll be on the lookout more actively (because I've mainly been eyeing the Classic Portal as of late) because it's definitely seeing an uptick.
