It was brought to staff attention that soupycm (account age 1 day, site membership 1 day) posted the article: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8172, which contained multiple indicators of AI-generation.

Specific Examples

SCP-8172 is an anomalous amulet resembling a dazzling gemstone-encrusted pendant, exhibiting an inexplicable allure that compels SCP-8172-1 instances to desire possession. Despite its outward appearance of value, SCP-8172's true nature is far more insidious. When SCP-8172-1 instances make physical contact with SCP-8172, they become immediately fixated on ensuring others notice and handle the object as well. This compulsion overrides their rational faculties, driving them to seek out and persuade others to pick up SCP-8172, regardless of the consequences.

To prevent such an outcome, containment and neutralization efforts must be prioritized, with a focus on developing effective countermeasures and containment protocols to contain SCP-8172's spread and mitigate the risk of SCP-8172-3 events. Collaboration with other anomalous containment organizations and research institutions is essential to combatting the potential threat posed by SCP-8172.

Item #: SCP-8172
Object Class: Keter

Description:
SCP-8172 is an anomalous amulet resembling a dazzling gemstone-encrusted pendant, exhibiting an inexplicable allure that compels SCP-8172-1 instances to desire possession. Despite its outward appearance of value, SCP-8172's true nature is far more insidious. When SCP-8172-1 instances make physical contact with SCP-8172, they become immediately fixated on ensuring others notice and handle the object as well. This compulsion overrides their rational faculties, driving them to seek out and persuade others to pick up SCP-8172, regardless of the consequences.

Upon exposure to SCP-8172, SCP-8172-1 instances experience hallucinations of increasing intensity and complexity, leading to profound psychological distress. As they attempt to propagate the object to others, SCP-8172's influence extends, creating a chain reaction of obsession and hallucination. Remarkably, SCP-8172-1 instances who succumb to SCP-8172's influence spontaneously produce SCP-8172-2 instances, which they distribute to unsuspecting individuals. This replication process perpetuates the cycle of infection, spreading SCP-8172's influence to new hosts.

SCP-8172-3 events occur when SCP-8172-1 and SCP-8172-2 instances are kept away from any other individuals. SCP-8172-3 events also occur whenever SCP-8172-1 and SCP-8172-2 are separated for more than 24 hours. Within 48 hours of the first exposure to SCP-8172, SCP-8172-1 instances cease to exist, and their associated SCP-8172-2 instances disappear and reappear in another location, initiating a new cycle of infection. There is no known way to stop an SCP-8172-3 event occuring after SCP-8172-1 interacts with SCP-8172 or an SCP-8172-2 instance. Complete termination of either SCP-8172-1 through conventional human termination means, or SCP-8172-2 through SCP-914 on the ‘Coarse’ setting, will result in the other ceasing to exist, and SCP-8172 starting an SCP-8172-3 event. It is highly advised that all experiments be done with extreme caution as an SCP-8172-3 event could be catastrophic.

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8172 is to be contained within a reinforced, soundproof chamber equipped with antimemetic technology to prevent inadvertent exposure. Access to SCP-8172 is restricted to authorized personnel with Level 4 clearance or higher. The chamber must be monitored continuously to detect any attempts by SCP-8172 to influence SCP-8172-1 instances outside its containment. SCP-8172 and its replicas, designated SCP-8172-2 instances, are to be cataloged and stored in a secure containment vault equipped with anti-hallucinogenic materials. Experimentation with SCP-8172 is to be conducted with extreme caution, and all personnel involved should undergo thorough psychological evaluation and monitoring before and after exposure.

In the event of a SCP-8172-3 event, Foundation personnel are to enact Protocol Omega-Kai in collaboration with the Global Occult Coalition and other relevant organizations. Protocol Omega-Kai involves the immediate mobilization of Mobile Task Force Omega-13 ("Eclipse Protocol") to contain and neutralize SCP-8172-2 instances, prevent further SCP-8172-3 events, and mitigate the spread of SCP-8172's influence.

Potential Catastrophic Scenario:
If SCP-8172's influence were to spread uncontrollably, it could lead to a scenario where the majority of the world's population becomes infected with SCP-8172-1 instances, resulting in widespread panic, chaos, and societal collapse. The compulsion to propagate SCP-8172 would override rational thought, leading to a breakdown of social order and infrastructure. As SCP-8172-1 instances cease to exist within 48 hours of exposure, the resulting SCP-8172-3 events would cause mass disappearances and relocations of SCP-8172-2 instances, further exacerbating the crisis.

In the worst-case scenario, SCP-8172's influence could trigger an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario, characterized by a global breakdown of civilization, mass casualties, and the extinction of the human race. To prevent such an outcome, containment and neutralization efforts must be prioritized, with a focus on developing effective countermeasures and containment protocols to contain SCP-8172's spread and mitigate the risk of SCP-8172-3 events. Collaboration with other anomalous containment organizations and research institutions is essential to combatting the potential threat posed by SCP-8172.

Experiment Logs:
Note For all of the experiment logs, no dialogue was able to be retrieved, as all SCP-8172-1 instances cease to exist after 48 hours of exposure with SCP-8172, or 24 hours without their associated SCP-8172-2. All experiment logs were artificially altered slightly to be certain they would stay after an SCP-8172-3 event, or the termination of SCP-8172-1. All D-class personnel and all SCP-8172-1 instances ceased to exist within 48 hours of exposure, unless otherwise specified (Such as an SCP-8172-3 event where SCP-8172-1 instances disappear immediately.)

Experiment Log 8172-01:
Subject: D-1432, a male with no known history of mental illness.
Procedure: D-1432 is instructed to pick up SCP-8172 and report any observations or sensations.
Results: Upon touching SCP-8172, D-1432 exhibits signs of fascination and immediately attempts to show it to nearby personnel. Despite initial resistance, D-1432 becomes increasingly insistent, insisting that others handle SCP-8172. Within 30 minutes, three additional personnel exhibit similar behavior, each producing SCP-8172-2 instances. All affected SCP-8172-1 instances report experiencing hallucinations consistent with SCP-8172's effects.

Experiment Log 8172-02:
Subject: D-2278, a female with a history of anxiety disorders.
Procedure: D-2278 is exposed to SCP-8172 while under observation via closed-circuit cameras.
Results: Upon exposure to SCP-8172, D-2278 displays signs of distress and attempts to distance herself from the object. Despite efforts to resist, D-2278 becomes fixated on SCP-8172, repeatedly attempting to approach it. As the hallucinations intensify, D-2278 exhibits erratic behavior, vocalizing paranoia and pleading for assistance. After 60 minutes of exposure, D-2278 produces SCP-8172-2 instances and attempts to offer it to the camera, seemingly unaware of her surroundings.
Experiment Log 8172-03:
Subject: D-3801, previously exposed to SCP-8172 and isolated from all communication.
Procedure: D-3801 is monitored via surveillance cameras to observe the long-term effects of SCP-8172 exposure without propagation.
Results: Following isolation, D-3801 exhibits escalating signs of psychosis, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and self-harm behaviors. Despite attempts to intervene, D-3801's condition deteriorates rapidly, culminating in a state of catatonia. After ██ days of isolation, D-3801's presence within SCP-8172's containment chamber is expunged from all records, and an SCP-8172-3 event occurs, with SCP-8172-2 disappearing and reappearing in ████████ ████

Noting that when the author was addressed about the page reading like AI, they blanked the page and posted this comment:
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16815873/scp-8172#post-6512529

it was an old document from when i was more into SCP and i recently got back into it so i found it again. I thought might as well publish it, but now while im looking at it abit more i think it probably is AI or something like that, just i didnt remember from back then. it seems like a cool premise so i will fix it up or change it entirely. sorry for confusion

There is a clear difference in word choice, typing style, and presence of simple errors compared to the coldpost.

Within about 4 hours of joining the site, the user coldposted this page: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8338 which contains several hallmarks of AI-generation, most notably the unnecessary breakdown of the description into stages, with accompanying titles.

The user has no sandbox or other edit history beyond the initial posting of the new page.

They have one forum comment: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8338/comments/show#post-6513525

This is my first time writing an SCP, so I will take any advice from people who know better. If you can tell me some things about writing to make this SCP better I will use your advice to make this SCP better. Thank you!

Item Number: SCP-8338 Noble Truth
Containment class: Euclid

Level: 4 Secret
Disruption class: Ekhi
Risk class: Danger

Special Containment Procedures

SCP-8338 is to be kept in a sealed tungsten box, exactly 1.8 meters (Approx 5.91 Feet) thick, and 5 (five) meters by 5 (five) meters by 5 (five) meters on the inside. The tungsten both on the inside and outside must have anti-mimetic materials covering all visible tungsten. At all times there are to be between 3-6 (three - six) armed security personnel posted outside, and an on site psychologist. All experiments with D-Class personnel are to be conducted under direct orders from personnel with level 5 clearance. Amnesiacs must be administered within 1 hour of exposure to SCP-8338. Failure to administer amnesiacs will be met with immediate termination of the subject.

Description
Stage one : ”Infection”
SCP-8338 is an ordinary looking zippo lighter with dimensions of Length: 1.50 cm, Width: 0.5 cm, Height: 2.25 cm. Engraved on both sides are the letters “NT”. When SCP-8338 is turned on, it never runs out of fuel. Throughout the day, SCP-8338 randomly exhibits telepathic communications, with anyone susceptible to it. It targets people with a history of mental illness, or people who are distracted or at a particularly low point in their life. While speaking to them, SCP-8338 speaks in a soothing voice, promising bliss if they reach it. While speaking to SCP-8338, subjects reported feeling absolute euphoria, and will stop at nothing to find the source of these messages. The source being SCP-8338, subjects have been reported to keep trying to get into SCP-8338’s cell even after being shot, or wounded in places that would incapacitate any normal human. The only thing that stops them is administering amnesiacs, though this only works if it has been less than 1 (one) hour. If it has been more than 1 (one) hour, the only thing to stop them is to shoot or stab them in the eyes or temples.

Stage two: “obsession”
If subjects are allowed into the room of SCP-8338, they will have an insatiable urge to pick it up. If allowed, they will be completely engrossed for exactly 24 (twenty four) hours, doing nothing else except admire SCP-8338. After the 24 (twenty four) hours, they will open it and admire the inner workings of SCP-8338 for 24 (twenty four) hours. It is to be noted that in these 48 (forty eight) hours, SCP-8338 never sent out a telepathic message to anyone, only to the subjects. After these 48 (forty eight) hours, the subjects now are named SCP-8338-1 instances. After the first 48 hours of admiring SCP-8338, the SCP-8338-1 instance will turn SCP-8338 on, as if it were a normal lighter. Seeing the flames, the SCP-8338-1 instance will experience mind splitting headaches, followed by surreal hallucinations. No matter how hard the SCP-8338-1 instance tries, they cannot release SCP-8338 or stop looking at it. At some indeterminate amount of time, the SCP-8338-1 instance’s hallucinations will reach a point that they try to burn themselves, and anyone around them. The flames of SCP-8338, seem to light anything on fire, as if it were paper to a standard lighter. Even water is susceptible to going up in flames.

Stage three: (realization)
After the SCP-8338-1 instance successfully burns a living being, whether that being themselves, another human, or an animal, the subject will discard SCP-8338, turning off the flame. The SCP-8338-1 instance then sits in the furthest point from SCP-8338 inside the sealed chamber. They begin chanting indecipherable words, apart from 2 (two) English words: ‘Noble’, and ‘Truth’. The words will come up seemingly randomly, but always be in the order ‘Noble Truth’. After 1 (one) hour of chanting, subjects will begin harming themselves in any way possible. Whether that is banging their head against the wall or floor, or using SCP-8338 to burn themselves. When asked why they were doing this, the SCP-8338-1 instance said: ‘The [REDACTED] one will greet me, and give me the gift of the noble truth’. The SCP-8338-1 instance will then start to weep, begging to be released from the horrors plaguing them, before being covered in burns in random places. Even if SCP-8338 was removed during the experiment, and they didn't burn themselves, the burns will appear all over their body. Within 30 minutes of the burns appearing, the subjects body parts will begin to burn and fall off, before their entirety is burned off.

Stage four: “The noble truth” or “NT stage”
When the ashes are discarded, there is an exact replica of SCP-8338 in the pile of remains, named SCP-8338-2 instances. The SCP-8338-2 instances are just as dangerous as SCP-8338, sometimes more dangerous, yet they can be destroyed through conventional, or anomalous, means. If the SCP-8338-2 instances are not destroyed within 1 (one) hour, the SCP-8338-2 instance will disappear from containment, and reappear somewhere random in the world. The only clue as to where it reappears is on SCP-8338 itself, with the exact coordinates to where it is. SCP-8338-2 instances go into a ‘dormant’ state where no telepathic messages are sent out, for 12 hours. If MTF or any foundation personnel do not find and destroy SCP-8338-2, (which in its dormant state is now only destroyable by placing it into SCP-914 on ‘coarse’) SCP-8338-2 will initiate a new round of infection instantly. There will be no grace period of 1 (one) hour before the subject picks it up. Every SCP-8338-2 acts as the original SCP-8338 after creating a new SCP-8338-2 instance, giving the coordinates of this new instance. After SCP-8338-2 instances disappear and reappear, SCP-8338 or SCP-8338-2 will enter a dormant state, much like after being transported. The only difference however, is that they cannot be destroyed in this dormant state, requiring careful transportation until termination is possible.
