AI Record - Poignanter

Noting that new site member Poignanter (account age 140 days, site membership 1 day) recently coldposted the following page, which has multiple common indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8960

**Item** #: SCP-8960

**Object Class:** Safe

**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8960 is to be stored in a standard containment locker at SITE-██. Extraction of SCP-8960 from its locker must be monitored and limited to one hour every three weeks, and under no circumstances can SCP-8960 be left unattended outside its containment. SCP-8960 may be freely used within its chamber under supervision. No formal logging is required unless used for testing.

------

**Description:**
SCP-8960 is a small coin made of silver, measuring 2.5 cm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness. The object has no markings or symbols, and its inner surface is smoothly flattened. Object exhibits the property of always landing perfectly balanced on its edge, regardless of the surface or force applied. When dropped or flipped onto uneven surfaces, the coin will balance on its edge for about one second before falling over. The coin remains undamaged after usage, and its anomalous properties do not degrade over time.

**Origin**:
SCP-8960 was recovered from the remains of SITE-██ after an exploratory mission, where it was found in its previous chamber. No records of its origin have been discovered, and documents had to be re-written.

------

**Addendum SCP-8960:**
> Object was reported to show ability to inflict strong emotions after use. Subjects interacting with item often display frustration, particularly when attempting to land it on the side and failing. Further testing __must__ __be__ resumed in order to fully verify its security class.

Excerpts of note:

Origin:
SCP-8960 was recovered from the remains of SITE-██ after an exploratory mission, where it was found in its previous chamber. No records of its origin have been discovered, and documents had to be re-written.

Addendum SCP-8960:

Object was reported to show ability to inflict strong emotions after use. Subjects interacting with item often display frustration, particularly when attempting to land it on the side and failing. Further testing must be resumed in order to fully verify its security class.

User has a sandbox page here: https://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/n-fx for the article, with almost all of the text fully formed in the first revision. The only changes made are formatting for the image code, and the addition of a short "recovery log" that is not found in the mainlisted version:

The recovery describes physical examination that has been performed on the SCP-8960 with subject D-████ for ██ time, under supervision of Dr. Silver and Dr. Thaddeus Xyank, where Dr. Silver was taking notes. The note itself has been classified regarding further experimentation at SITE-██.

User's only forum posting history is as follows:

• http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17006599/scp-8690-infinity-coin draft thread without greenlights
• http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17006771/seeking-greenlights concept thread with the hook listed as "I explained one in the central narrative, but once I get some greenlights (if I do) I will expand on the mission and make some logs, maybe even on the SCP overall."

Received the following reply:

I belive this is a false assumption.

sent back:

Can you provide the reasoning for why your article contains multiple hallmarks of AI-generation, including extraneous summary text, inconsistent containment procedures, and nonsensical description content? Please note that lying about usage of AI is grounds for a permanent ban from the site.

User responded:

Hello. Sorry for late response, but I thought you wouldn't respond. It's was my first time writing an SCP, and I wanted to start off by something basic. If you saw my sandbox page, which, you probably did, you can notice that it's a very simple object. The reason for extraneous summary text is that I wanted to make my text a little longer, but I had zero idea on how to do it. So, I went to seeking greenlight on my idea in the forum page, to learn more. I forgot to delete the old post with the sandbox link, where I had something that I thought looks nice. The nonsensical content you are talking about are most likely fragments of the text that I forgot to remove, and then i put them back in creating some nonsense. Please keep in mind it is still a Sandbox website. The sentence like "xtraction of SCP-8960 from its locker must be monitored and limited to one hour every three weeks, and under no circumstances can SCP-8960 be left unattended outside its containment" was reffering to idea that the object is a very rare phenomenon, and it shouldn't be lost ny neglection. My apologies, if this seems like AI-generated content, but that's just the way I am writing things. I hope you understand.

I sent back:

I will forward the message to staff.

Note that the user does not explain why the sentence structure in the sandbox page does not quite match the text of their non-draft typing, and they don't actually address the containment procedure inconsistencies noted in the previous message (e.g., the latter part of the containment references a chamber that is never designated as necessary or even present).

ETA: their reply

Thank you.

Received the following message:

Hey, been a while, did I get permanent ban?

Sent back:

No; as per the initial revocation message, you were always able to re-apply for site membership once 24 hours had passed since the revoke.

Well, it say;s that I am not able to apply, because I have already applied, which I did not.

Since you joined the site once, that is counted as your first application. To re-apply for site membership, you need to clear the previous application from this screen: https://www.wikidot.com/account/messages#/applications
