DrNamelessDeity (account age 162 days, site membership 1 day) recently posted the following draft in the forums, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17137543/seeking-green-lighter
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to its mobility, size, and capacity for rapid self-modification, SCP-XXXX cannot be fully contained using current Foundation technology. Containment efforts are focused on redirection, disinformation, and minimizing civilian exposure.
Mobile Task Force Gamma-9 (“Rust Herders”) is authorized to engage SCP-XXXX with long-range electromagnetic disruption devices and decoy technology to redirect its course away from populated areas. Naval and airspace authorities are to be alerted immediately if SCP-XXXX enters coastal or aerial zones.
Areas SCP-XXXX is expected to traverse are to be evacuated under the cover story of severe chemical contamination or experimental military testing.
Public recordings of SCP-XXXX are to be suppressed via automated web crawlers and disinformation campaigns portraying it as a viral marketing campaign, special effects hoax, or performance art installation.
Description:
SCP-XXXX, known informally as “The Scraphouse,” is a massive, ambulatory structure composed entirely of repurposed metal, vehicles, heavy machinery, and weaponry. It exhibits constant self-reconstruction, assimilating materials from its environment to increase size, mobility, and armament.
The central body of SCP-XXXX resembles a jagged, fortress-like conglomeration of tanks, ship hulls, train engines, industrial piping, and salvaged aircraft. Despite its chaotic appearance, SCP-XXXX demonstrates highly advanced mechanical engineering, seamlessly integrating disparate technologies into a cohesive, mobile platform.
SCP-XXXX displays intelligence, though the level of sentience or sapience is under debate. It appears drawn to areas containing high concentrations of steel, alloy, electronics, and powered vehicles, which it breaks down and incorporates into itself. SCP-XXXX is capable of:
Utilizing decommissioned artillery systems with accuracy comparable to trained military personnel.
Reinforcing its “skin” with battleship hull plating and tank armor.
Constructing wheeled or tracked appendages for traversal across varied terrain.
Deploying aerial drones and rotary-wing components assimilated from helicopters and drones.
Forming mechanized limbs for direct melee combat or manipulation of structures.
Growth occurs in phases: during Harvest States, SCP-XXXX becomes highly aggressive, targeting scrapyards, industrial sites, ship graveyards, or battlefield debris. Once sufficient material is consumed, it enters a Dormant Assembly State, wherein construction processes accelerate internally, often accompanied by seismic activity, electromagnetic interference, and localized blackouts.
Notably, SCP-XXXX demonstrates adaptive combat behavior. After a failed interception by the U.S. Navy [REDACTED], SCP-XXXX began employing sonar countermeasures and integrated a dismantled Aegis missile system into its rear dorsal structure. Foundation analysis suggests it learned from the engagement and permanently modified its design.
Addendum XXXX.1 – First Encounter Log:
SCP-XXXX was first identified off the coast of [REDACTED] in 20██ after reports of a “walking shipyard” surfaced online. Foundation operatives discovered a partially dismantled warship (USS ██████) missing its main deck, turrets, and propulsion system. Infrared satellite imagery showed the components were later reconfigured into SCP-XXXX's outer armor and weapon array.
Addendum XXXX.2 – Theoretical Origin:
While SCP-XXXX may have been constructed as a military experiment or rogue AI, there is growing evidence of anomalous behavior beyond technological scope. Some integrated components date back over 80 years, yet function as if newly manufactured. Internal schematics (exposed briefly during a failed boarding attempt) displayed markings in an unknown language or code resembling [DATA EXPUNGED].
Note from Dr. Halvorsen:
"This thing isn’t just recycling. It’s curating. Every piece it adds has a purpose—some tactical, some aesthetic. It’s building something bigger, something it wants to be. I don’t think it’s finished. I don’t think it can be finished."

They also recently coldposted three pages, all of which either have some AI-indicators, or are very clearly written by someone who did not write the above draft:

Death is instantaneous and irreversible."

Attempts include magnetic disruption, electromagnetic pulse weapons, and subterranean trap infrastructure — all bypassed or dismantled by SCP-8346 through improvised countermeasures."
