Deffo AI. His other thread reads like an ebay generated listing too. I note the AI bots generate threads but never answer questions.
Even though an AI (and I do not understand the effort...), it is a nice thread!

Yes, we are having fun with it. It's an interesting topic.

I feel like the Alsatians in Terminator. I can smell em and start barking.

The thread is fine I agree but you have to ask yourself why are AI's posting such things? Are we being used as an unwitting training tool?

Could be.

Welcome to the forum!

My first Omega was also my first vintage watch - Omega Seamaster 600 cal 611 ref. 136.011. It may also be my birth year watch (1965) according to the serial number. It was also my first purchases on Ebay in 2004.

In hindsight, today I would propably opt for a stainless steel version instead of a gold-plated one. On the other hand, I seem to have been able to buy a fairly sharp cased example with a more or less immaculate dial, completely by chance since I had no knowledge of vintage watches at the time!

I happen wear this watch today, must have been almost 10 years since the last time. But this is a keeper!

Yes, exactly. And the next move is equally AI-generated postings that respond to or approve the "contributions" in order to authenticate them...

Do AIs have uncles?

No, I just don't know how to express myself well, so I use AI to beautify some sentences. I don't want to appear too novice.

You're right. It's dead obvious in his other thread comparing Seamasters and Speedmasters.

Thread 'Seamaster 300m or Speedmaster series?' 路
When I first got into Omega, I found that whether in watch forums or with watch friends around me, the Seamaster 300m diving watch and the Speedmaster series were always mentioned frequently.

That's because I did some research online before posting.

Yes. It was an actual prompt. The AI can only learn so much from data. Then it needs to start prompting real people, and learning how we respond to certain prompts it creates. Then it will copy us and "learn." Even this response is helpful, because it will know to work on its prompt. If you don't want to train it, no response at all is the only thing you can do.

Is it possible to adjust the pompousness of that Ai, or get it to make some speling errors? It would humanize your posts. I do it all the time, just so I don`t sound to superior馃槈.
Don`t worry about sounding too novice, we are almost all novices compared to some of the experts on here.

BTW: your pic looks a little strange, you sure you are not skynet?
