AI Spam Comments Volume I

I get so many bizaare or uncanny AI comments these days   that I wanted to share a few. I've shared a couple before which were spooky -- well written, with no links or hooks, making me wonder what the point of them was -- but these are more mixed in style and quality. The spambots just  adore Sharpe's Rifles and A Life of Her Own, Why?  No idea, but 90% of the spam is for those two posts.


1. ....thank you for sharing that.
"Right away I am going to do my breakfast, afterward having my breakfast coming over again to read other news."



2. I'm Sorry, Was That English?
"Definitely imagine that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be at the net easiest factor to have in mind of I say to you. I certainly get annoyed while other folks consider worries that they just do not recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well as outlined the whole thing with no need side-effects, other folks can take a signal. Will probably get back to get more. Thank you."



3. Spambot is Worried About Spam
"When I originally comented I click the Notify me when new comments are added and now ezch time a comment is added I get sevral emails with the same comment. Is there any way yo ucan remove me from that service? Many thanks!"

4. Fake but Real 
" I know this if off topic but I;m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading? I;m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if its the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. "

5. Hard Core IE Fanboy
"Hello. Neatt post. There is a problem with your site in interhet explorer, might check this? IE nontheless is the marketplace leader and a large component of other people will miss your great writing due tto this problem"

6. You Can Write, But You Can't Read
"Hey there are using Wordpress for your blog platform? I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!"

Seriously, "Blogspot" is right there in the URL.

7. More Walls of Text, Please!
"I do trust all the ideas you have introduced in your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for newbies. May you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post."

  1. pretty strange.. sometimes when using cell phones we get other people's messages; i wonder if this could be the same sort of thing... but the fractured syntax indicates it might be alien invasions...

  2. This is strange stuff. I may have gotten a few of these weird comments over the years.

    I have had no problems with images from your blog and I use several different browsers and operating systems.

    1. The first time I got one of these I checked it out, but I've concluded they're just nonsense. Why someone would program AI to spam legitimate-sounding concerns, though, I'm not sure. Perhaps to see if they pass a Turing test? That is, if I post them, they're graded as passable? I ONLY use Firefox on my home PC, and have used Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera on other pcs -- including the mobile (android) versions. No problems whatsoever.

  3. "I do trust all the ideas you have introduced in your post." That's quite a compliment... I might have to borrow that one. XD

Thank you for visiting! Because of some very clever spambots, I've had to start moderating comments more strictly, but they're approved throughout the day.
