Noting that new site member Charlie Holland (account age 23 days, site membership 22? days) recently coldposted the following page, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8157
Of note, the user made several revisions to the material, implementing notable changes, such as switching US spellings to UK variants and removing a section at the end.
Revision 0 (initial posting)
**Item #:** SCP-8157
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8157 is to be contained within a reinforced hangar at Site-77, measuring 100m x 100m x 50m, equipped with electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generators and motion-tracking surveillance. The hangar must remain sealed except during approved testing, with a minimum of two Level 3 personnel overseeing any interaction. Unauthorized aircraft within a 5km radius of Site-77 are to be diverted or neutralized to prevent SCP-8157 from mimicking their forms.
In the event of a containment breach, Mobile Task Force Delta-9 ("Sky Hunters") is to be deployed with EMP weaponry to disable SCP-8157. Any sightings of unidentified aircraft exhibiting anomalous behavior must be reported immediately. Personnel are forbidden from engaging SCP-8157 in conversation, as its vocal mimicry has induced psychological distress in 87% of exposed subjects.
**Description:** SCP-8157 is a shapeshifting aerial entity capable of adopting the appearance, functionality, and radar signature of any known aircraft, ranging from a Cessna 172 to a Boeing 747. Its default form resembles a sleek, metallic, delta-winged craft approximately 15m in length, with no visible cockpit or propulsion system. SCP-8157's surface is composed of an unidentified alloy that shifts fluidly to mimic textures, colors, and insignias of other aircraft. Analysis of recovered fragments indicates the alloy is non-terrestrial, with isotopic ratios inconsistent with Earth-based materials.
SCP-8157 exhibits sentient behavior, communicating via radio transmissions in voices mimicking air traffic controllers, pilots, or distress signals. It uses these transmissions to lure aircraft or personnel into close proximity, after which it may mimic their craft or attempt to integrate them into its structure. Integration events result in the complete absorption of the target, with no trace of organic or inorganic material recovered. SCP-8157 has demonstrated hostility only when attempts are made to damage or restrain it, deploying EMP-like bursts to disable electronics within a 500m radius.
SCP-8157 was first encountered on ██/██/20██, after multiple reports of a"ghost plane" interfering with commercial flights over the Pacific Ocean. Foundation assets intercepted SCP-8157 following a near-collision with a passenger jet, during which it mimicked the jet’s livery and transmitted a looped distress signal in the pilot’s voice. Containment was achieved after luring SCP-8157 to Site-77 with a decoy aircraft.
**Addendum 8157-A: Incident Log 8157-03**
On ██/██/20██, SCP-8157 breached containment by mimicking a Foundation transport helicopter scheduled for maintenance. It evaded detection for 14 hours, during which it absorbed a civilian Cessna (registration N█████) and its pilot. The entity was recontained after MTF Delta-9 deployed EMP drones, forcing SCP-8157 to revert to its default form. The Cessna and pilot remain unrecovered. Following this incident, all aircraft entering Site-77 airspace are subject to multi-spectrum scanning.
**Addendum 8157-B: Recovered Transmission**
The following is a partial transcript of a radio transmission intercepted during initial containment:
> **SCP-8157:** Mayday, mayday, this is Flight ████, we’re losing altitude, instruments failing—please, we need help!
> **Control Tower:** Flight ████, this is [REDACTED] Tower, confirm your position and status.
> **SCP-8157:** [Voice shifts to mimic tower operator] You’re not alone up here. Come closer. I can show you the sky like never before.
Transmission ceased after Foundation intervention. Personnel exposed to the transmission reported feelings of unease and an urge to"join the sky."
**Note:** Research into SCP-8157’s origins and motivations is ongoing. Proposals to use SCP-8157 for covert aerial operations are under review, pending further analysis of its psychological effects and integration mechanics.

The hangar must remain sealed except during approved testing, with a minimum of two Level 3 personnel overseeing any interaction. Unauthorised aircraft within a 5km radius of Site-77 are to be diverted or neutralised to prevent SCP-8157 from mimicking their forms.
Any sightings of unidentified aircraft exhibiting anomalous behaviour must be reported immediately. Personnel are forbidden from engaging SCP-8157 in conversation, as its vocal mimicry has induced psychological distress in 87% of exposed subjects.

To me, it seems pretty obvious that you used AI to generate most of this article, if not all of it."
I only used Grammarly

This is my first SCP. It might get deleted but I'm hoping it doesn't. It took me a time to create an idea for what the SCP should be
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17100128/scp-8157#post-6934193 reply to reader comment, "This is not entirely horrible, but it still has many flaws to it which could definitely use work through the critting process in the forums. I will not go through them extensively here (especially since if the article ends up deleted the feedback could be lost entirely), but one of the most glaring ones to me is one which is core to a lot of modern SCP articles: Why did you write this? The article feels like a Monster Manual Entry more than a modern SCP. The idea for the monster in question is interesting, yes, and it might be able to stand up in the wiki like this, but it feels lackluster as it stands, even if the other issues are cleaned up."
I'm new to making SCP's. This was a first time I have done this.
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17100128/scp-8157#post-6934202 reply to reader comment, "I would suggest taking a look at the guides and the process recommended for new authors, beginning with at least a cursory read through How To Write An SCP. For a first try and a cold-post, it's not bad, but it definitely needs some better direction and some cleanup. The guides and the critting process can help through that."
Ok. I'll probably delete this, but I might not. I will take your suggestion into account
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17100128/scp-8157#post-6934194 post title "First"
Ok, so this is a first. I'm not exactly good at it but I'm not really that bad at it either.
