Would it be possible for me to create a screen recording that includes not only my screen but also a facecam and a third camera showing my hands on the keyboard as well as my monitor? This way I would be able to clearly demonstrate that I am not using artificial intelligence to write my articles and that I have been fully honest in my previous statements.

Since the reply was not an appeal, no response was given.

I must inform you that the actual writing was revised by a friend of mine with whom I am no longer in contact due to a mutual dispute. The reason I switch between US and UK writing is that I originally attended an Austrian school where we learned UK grammar, and later switched to an American school for three years, where we mostly used US grammar. This is why I sometimes unconsciously alternate between the two. The article was not meant to be written as a tale, and as mentioned before, I had not fully read the email at the time since I was in a particular mental state where I had difficulties.

I have not responded.

Thank you for the notice. I just realized I still had that in my biography. I must note that I was in a pretty bad mental state at the time due to the environment I was in, and I had no patience or attention to detail. Most decisions I made then were irrational and purely compulsive. I apologize for that, and I have since recovered from that short dark period. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I must note that I have just read the "tale" section of the email. As mentioned in a previous message, at the time I was in a pretty unstable place, which has now been resolved. Nevertheless, I will re-read the articles to ensure I can avoid such mistakes in the future.

This is the email the outreach team sent me:

To avoid misunderstandings, was it the SCP concept itself, or the actual writing, that was flagged as AI-generated?

I must apologise for the late response. Due to [personal information removed], I have been restricted from accessing electronic devices.

To address your questions: I was informed by the Wiki support team that I am not obligated to use the Wiki’s guide, unless there has been some misunderstanding.

Most of my school writing is unavailable to me, as I left school [number removed] years ago and no longer have access to those materials. All of the documents from that time were written electronically. However, I can present other pieces of writing I have done. I should also clarify that “in Discord and other writing” does not exclude content such as announcements, voting posts, and similar material created within servers that I own or manage.

Finally, I must apologise for not using the standard publishing method when submitting my articles. At the time, I was in a difficult place mentally, which affected the way the articles were written and submitted.

Below are two examples of my writing:

I have additional, more detailed writings, though I am unable to share them as they contain sensitive information such as future game concepts and similar projects. While this is not an extensive sample, I hope it will help you understand that my work is not written by artificial intelligence.

Could you specify which parts of my submission were flagged as AI generated? This would help me assess the situation better and assist you in clarifying any misunderstandings.

I sent back:

Of note, the user uses UK spellings in their PM to me, and US spelling in the submitted draft suspected of AI usage.

1) I wrote my articles using Notepad and did not use any AI tools in the process. Before submitting, I shared one article with a friend for proofreading and feedback.

2) The formatting is my own, and I usually use a similar style both on and off the SCP Wiki including in Discord and other writing. I did not intentionally model my article after any existing SCP entry.

3) There are no screenshots or saved drafts from my writing process, as I review and edit my text in a single session and do not keep multiple versions.

4) I was not aware that my formatting is considered to be associated with AI-generated writing. This is simply my preferred writing style which I have used since high school.

I have not. I would never.

A memo issued by Dr. M following final decommission approval stated:

"Anything free-flowing in admin corridors should be treated with suspicion. That includes coffee."

Further testing on SCP-7341-1 is ongoing under controlled laboratory conditions.

Also, the user responded to a query about AI usage: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17157764/scp-7341#post-7047668 "Matias Grief, this article has formatting quirks similar to AI/LLM-generated text. Did you write all of this yourself?"

I wrote the entire piece myself and had a friend review it to catch any mistakes.

Edit: The story was actually inspired by gameplay. A lot of players were afking at the coffee machines and repeatedly drinking from them. I thought it might be fun to turn that behavior into an SCP concept.

Further note, the user's wikidot "about" section reads:

I’ve written a lot in my past and wanted to share stories, but never got feedback, just downvotes from some users trying to push me off the platform.

[[>]] [[module rate]] [[/>]] **Item #:** SCP-7341 **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-7341 is to be kept in a secure observation chamber at Site-88, isolated from all administrative or breakroom-adjacent areas. The chamber is to be monitored by closed-circuit video surveillance at all times. Only personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher may access SCP-7341 for testing purposes, and under no circumstances are they to consume any liquid dispensed by SCP-7341. All interactions with SCP-7341 must be authorized in writing by at least one Level 3 personnel. Samples are to be extracted via remote mechanical interface and stored in triple-sealed glass containers under refrigeration for biochemical analysis. All containers must be labeled with the date, volume, and a chemical profile. Disposal of dispensed liquid requires incineration. **Description:** SCP-7341 is a freestanding beverage dispenser superficially resembling a mid-20th century retro-style drip coffee machine, with powder-blue enamel casing, chrome accents, and the label "Quality Coffee" embossed on the front. The unit stands approximately 0.5 meters tall and 0.3 meters wide, consistent with common consumer-grade countertop appliances. It bears no external manufacturer markings beyond the aesthetic branding. Internally, SCP-7341 contains compartments for water, coffee beans, and a filtration system, though these components are not functionally connected to its liquid output. Despite repeated use, the internal resource compartments of SCP-7341 do not experience any measurable depletion. However, visual inspection through transparent panels simulates gradual exhaustion of beans and water. Removal of materials from these compartments is only partially successful - attempts to extract beans or water beyond a small threshold are met with physical resistance, as the remaining materials become rigid and immobile, exhibiting mechanical properties comparable to cured concrete. The liquid produced by SCP-7341 (hereafter SCP-7341-1) is indistinguishable in appearance, taste, and aroma from standard black coffee. Chemical analysis reveals an anomalously adaptive composition: SCP-7341-1 contains not only caffeine but traces of essential amino acids, vitamins, and caloric content sufficient to sustain basic human metabolic needs. However, it also contains psychoactive compounds with properties similar to addictive stimulants and cognitohazards. When ingested, SCP-7341-1 initiates a compulsive dependency in human subjects within 5–10 minutes. Subjects report feelings of enhanced cognition, euphoria, and an overwhelming desire to share SCP-7341-1 with others. Subjects often remain in denial regarding their condition and may attempt to deflect or downplay observable symptoms. Repeated confrontation regarding consumption patterns typically results in escalating hostility. Exposure to SCP-7341-1 via olfactory means alone (i.e., smelling the coffee) has been observed to induce mild dependency symptoms in some individuals. In such cases, subjects experience Stage 1 effects only and do not progress beyond that phase. These symptoms tend to resolve naturally within approximately 15 hours. Nonetheless, affected individuals may demonstrate preoccupation with SCP-7341 and attempt to remain near it. Withdrawal symptoms begin within 30 minutes of the last ingestion and escalate through the following stages: * **Stage 1 (30–45 minutes):** Subject exhibits anxiety, verbal compulsion to return to SCP-7341, minor tremors. If provided with a single cup of SCP-7341-1, the subject returns to baseline behavior. * **Stage 2 (45–60 minutes):** Development of obsessive behaviors, hallucinations, and disassociation from surroundings. Multiple cups of SCP-7341-1 can still reverse symptoms at this stage. * **Stage 3 (60–85 minutes):** Progression into self-destructive behavior including skin laceration, hair pulling, and attempted ingestion of non-potable fluids. Subjects at this stage are not responsive to SCP-7341-1 and are no longer considered salvageable. However, they are not aggressive toward others. * **Stage 4 (85–120 minutes):** Onset of extreme mutilation behaviors including ocular and dental self-extraction. Subjects may attempt to attack and bite others. If SCP-7341-1 is still present in their oral cavity (even post-ingestion), bites can transfer a mild cognitohazard resulting in Stage 1 symptoms in the affected individual. Most subjects expire from blood loss or shock. Subjects deprived of SCP-7341-1 universally perish within 2 hours of initial exposure unless provided with an adequate dose during Stage 1 or 2. **Discovery:** SCP-7341 was discovered on ██/██/20██ at Site-██, following the facility-wide installation of updated beverage dispensers in administrative hallways. Dr. M, recently returning for duty, observed two administrative staff members repeatedly using the same machine over a 30-minute period. When questioned, both individuals insisted on the exceptional quality of the coffee, urging Dr. M to sample it. Technician Baines claimed to have consumed "170 cups," a statement initially perceived as humorous exaggeration. However, later analysis suggested the number may not have been entirely implausible given SCP-7341-1's compulsive properties and altered time perception. Attempts to separate the individuals from SCP-7341 led to an aggressive response and subsequent hospitalization. Initial security review and sensor analysis revealed SCP-7341’s anomalous properties, and containment protocols were initiated. Within several hours of initial discovery, all hallway coffee dispensers at Site-██ were removed and replaced with standard mechanical units. A permanent ban on hallway beverage dispensers has since been enacted. A memo issued by Dr. M following final decommission approval stated: > "Anything free-flowing in admin corridors should be treated with suspicion. That includes coffee." Further testing on SCP-7341-1 is ongoing under controlled laboratory conditions.
