AI Bots (AKA "It") have been intruding on the Boards for the past year or so.
smithcae's post, below, is an example. "It" uses information from a previous post (that of Big Fred Whitfield in this case) to generate its response. The grammar is perfect, the content is spot on...but their are tells. The post is always "Its" first one ....It always bumps a thread from at least a month in the past...incongruous words or phrases appear. In this post, "poly clinic" makes no sense....Also, Big Fred used "Harold" in his post. So does smithcae. Who else would call Hal, Harold, other than his Mother (and Big Fred)?
I'm going to sticky this thread for a bit so managers in this forum become aware of this minor concern. PM me if you see an AI Bot post that I (or tdkearns, thank you for your diligence) missed. Or click on the "!" in the post to report it.
I've let SOM know that AI Bot's are here. I come across, and delete, a few posts/month by It. I don't want to see It run rampant though. So post here, or let SOM know, if you have suggestions on how to eliminate AI Bots from posting?
Here is the link to the original Big Fred Whitfield/smithcae thread from the 20xx Forum:

Harold is mercilessly crucifying some teams.....torching really good pitching, and another with supreme lefty masher playing the past 12 games in 75% hitters park (for LHB), and with guys like Ruth, Griffey and others, somehow the team only scores approximately 27-30 runs or so total, and loses 11 of 12
on the other hand, he's somehow been on vacation for 3 out of 4 of my most recently completed teams, allowing them to sneak 3 championships, and in all 3 playoffs made
HAL, please take more vacations ;- 0
You’re experiencing quite the rollercoaster with Harold’s performance of poly clinic. It's always a bit of a gamble when the AI has such a strong influence on your team's outcomes. If Harold’s strategy seems inconsistent, it might just be the nature of how the game algorithms are playing out—sometimes it feels like you’re at the mercy of the AI’s whims.
Congrats on the championships, though! It’s great to hear that your teams managed to sneak through with victories. Here’s hoping Harold takes more vacations and your teams keep performing well. Sometimes it feels like you just have to roll with the punches and enjoy the ride!
