She posted a few months ago that she would be cutting back on posting in the forums. She has some health issues.

 

She is a real person and her responses are not AI generated.

@Sooner. On this forum it seems you're damned if you're sweet, kind, and positive and damned if you're the opposite.

Yes, Sandy was a little over the top but that's the way some people are.  I never doubted her sincerity.   I doubt this board is of such importance to warrant generating reesponses.  I, for one, wouldn't even know how to do an AI response.

They're not AI generated.  They're copy/pasted.

She may have difficulty getting in to the forums. The last week has been a mess.

I thought I saw her post not too long ago.  I never read her posts due to the color of the font she chose.  It was very hard on my eyes, so I never opened the posts.

Not for sure but I thought she was visiting family out of country.

Re: Sandy Sparkles?

[ Edited ]

I like her, sweet, kind, and uplifting. I've read the posts doubting her legitimacy, I always thought she was genuine.  I do remember her mentioning specific health issues but it does not feel right to me to list them.  I wish her all the best.

I also believe I read she was visiting family out of the country.  In addition, I'm not sure if it was before or after the post about visiting family, that she was upset over, as usual here, someone posting some unkind response to her upbeat posts.  At that time, I think I remember her saying she would not be posting as often for that reason as well as a health related reason.

@Kachina624 It isn't the content.  It is the formatting, the way the language is used, the unnatural makeup of the whole content.

 

I'd say it smacks of AI generated, not written by someone and each post from someone, but from a canned response.  Have you ever seen anything else like this on this board?  Post after post?  No.  If it walks like a duck. . .

@Sooner  I respectfully disagree with your AI generated conclusion/canned responses.  I, personally,  worked with a person who was genuinely upbeat 'all' the time.  Not kidding...'all the time!  

 

If you reverse the situation, we also have some posters here who continually are unkind, rude or unpolite, and whose responses to other posters are always mean-spirited or unpleasant, no matter the subject matter.   So, 'if it walks like a duck...' doesn't seem to fit either scenerio.  Just my opinion and observation.
