AI Record - SeanDreamHsu

Noting that SeanDreamHsu (account age 613 days, site membership 604 days) recently poste the following forum thread, which has multiple indicators of AI-generation: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17468179/seeking-greenlight-the-wrong-potato

Initial revision retained:

+ show block

Seeking Greenlights: Yes

Page Type: SCP Article

Genre (Optional): Psychological Horror, Cognitive Hazard

Elevator Pitch: It’s basically a totally normal-looking potato that puts anyone who touches it into a permanent, realistic hallucination of their worst fears, and almost everyone exposed ends up committing suicide within 72 hours.
Central Narrative: I planned this article to open in a standard SCP format (SCP → Description → Discovery → Test logs)with containment and a brief description of the anomaly. The discovery log will explain how SCP-10372 was found after a series of unexplained suicides, establishing the object’s lethality and mystery. One or two short test logs will show different subjects experiencing unique hallucination patterns, highlighting the cognitive-hazard nature and the Foundation’s difficulty studying the anomaly because almost no one survives exposure. The narrative focuses on the tension between the object’s simplicity and its extreme psychological impact.

Additional Notes (Optional): This is the first SCP idea my friend and I have ever worked on, so we're still figuring things out. We already have a rough draft, but we’re not sure if the concept has enough depth or if we’re handling the cognitive-hazard angle correctly. Any advice or pointers would really help us improve. Thank you!

Of note, when asked about their collaborator and, "did you use AI to assist with generating/summarizing the text above?", the user responded: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17468179/seeking-greenlight-the-wrong-potato#post-7451020

Thanks for replying!

1. I will be adding the author's account to the paragraph (will be in the additional Notes Part)

2. Thanks for pointing it out! I'm sorry that I used AI to summarize the ideas. So I'll remove the part that AI was involved in and rewrite it by myself.

The comment above was posted about 13 hours ago; no noticeable content changes have been made and the AI-generated material is still in the post.

Permanently banned, PM sent. Kufat supported.

Noting that an appeal was received:

Dear staff

I acknowledge that I used an AI tool to help summarize and rephrase my own ideas when writing my Greenlight post. I now understand that this use still counts as AI-generated content under the site’s rules. Although I had reviewed the rules earlier, I misunderstood the meaning of what counted as “AI-generated,” and I take full responsibility for my misunderstanding.

After the staff commented and pointed out the issue, I responded honestly and said that I would rewrite the section. However, I should have removed the AI-generated section immediately from view and not left it up while I work on rewriting it. I understand that this delay was a serious mistake I made.

After the ban was issued, I carefully reread the site’s rules on AI use and reviewed several past AI record cases on O5Command. From the related articles I read, I understand that even the use of AI for phrasing or corrections is unacceptable, even if the ideas were mine. I respect and understand the rule and the purpose behind this, and realize why the community is so strict about it.

I’ll make sure that all of my writing is entirely my own, and I won't use any AI-generation or rephrasing tools. Rather than just post articles, I hope I can grow as a writer through this community and learn and further develop my writing skills from others. I’m committed to participating honestly and respectfully, and I’m willing to start fresh again and rebuild trust through my writing.

Thank you for taking the time to read this appeal. I understand that the chances of having a permanent ban overturned are very low, and I will respect any decision the staff makes. I enjoy the SCP community, and I am also hoping for the chance to participate again.

Thank you for your time.

Staff discussed the appeal; the consensus was to decline. Kufat, subtletea, afto voted to decline.

Ban remains in place; user will be notified.
