{{np2|Semangathidup45}} has been around for 5 months and in that time has accumulated 20 templated or custom warnings on their talk page. They have responded to one [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Semangathidup45&diff=prev&oldid=1322194624]. 4 of these warnings were for LLM use (examples here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASemangathidup45&diff=1335089966&oldid=1334984470]) and 2 were for unattributed translations [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Semangathidup45&diff=prev&oldid=1336714442][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Semangathidup45&diff=prev&oldid=1337135651]. I warned them about both two days ago after seeing this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sophie_Esterh%C3%A1zy&diff=prev&oldid=1336690444]. They have had multiple articles draftified, including one for potential LLM generation. Despite all of this they continue to use machine assistance for their editing, see here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ilham_Akbar_Habibie&diff=prev&oldid=1337092446] for some typical LLM prose {{tqq|Their wedding reception was held according to Gorontaloan customs, reflecting the heritage of the Habibie family's ancestral home}}. Yesterday they created [[Draft:Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie]] in mainspace which contains the phrase {{tqq|He was a respected figure who owned rice fields, coconut plantations, and cattle and horse ranches in Batudaa Village}}. This was draftified on sourcing/notability grounds. I'm not sure how well this user understands English [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Semangathidup45&diff=prev&oldid=1326539657], so they may not understand the warnings and talk messages they are receiving.

:I started cleaning up their mess but was chastised by admin GiantSnowman for my wholesale reverts at [[Talk:Arnór Ingvi Traustason#AI-generated text]]. That article still cites a nonexistent source that Semangathidup45's AI chatbot completely hallucinated into existence. I have unfortunately not bothered to keep up with the AI text Semangathidup45 has added to Wikipedia since then. I'll state what I said there: They were adding AI-generated text into wildly unrelated articles at rapid speed. There's no chance they have the knowledge required to understand each of the subjects and ensure what they were adding was correct. If the person making the AI additons has proven through their edits that they are not reviewing the AI-generated text, which Semangathidup45 has (check the edits), then it is not incumbent upon me to review it. Nor is it my responsibility to clean it up to standard so that it can be retained in the given article. There is no place for unreviewed AI on Wikipedia. This isn't Grokipedia.

::Sitewide consensus seems to agree with you (see [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1213#Presumptive revert proposal]] for example). Also, any editor restoring the content [[Wikipedia:BURDEN|assumes responsibility]] for its verifiability and [[WP:ONUS|needs consensus]] if the restoration is challenged.

::Sorry that happened Οἶδα. Presumptive reversion of such edits typically works but I've mostly used it after admin action, which seems needed here [[User:NicheSports|NicheSports]] ([[User talk:NicheSports|talk]]) 04:29, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
:::{{re|NicheSports}} Am I hallucinating or is this user now socking with {{user|PMGR1968}}? There are obvious similarities and, after making edits exclusively to football topics, of all the film articles they could have chosen to edit on Wikipedia they start with an obscure Japanese film article that I also just so happened to create? If true, they're getting better at paraphrasing the AI. The article in question is [[I, the Executioner (1968 film)]], and it appears the AI pulled from the corresponding article on jawiki.

::::Hmmm. Per [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PMGR1968&diff=prev&oldid=1339250100] they had a previous account, so it is possible. However I think these are not the same person. Semangathidup45 edits many Indonesian-related topics in addition to obscure European football articles. Their username also suggests a language from that part of the world. PMGR1968 has not edited anything related to Indonesia. PMGR1968 also responded on their talk page which Semangathidup45 rarely if ever does. These [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec-timecard/en.wikipedia.org/PMGR1968][https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Semangathidup45] don't match either. I would not file at SPI in this case. However we should ask PMGR1968 about their previous account. I am also very curious about how they generated this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Herbert_Prohaska&diff=prev&oldid=1340288898], which entirely fails verification but has essentially zero AISIGNS. If this was actually AI-generated or assisted it would be evidence for one of my fears, that the latest LLM model releases are capable of producing essentially undetectable article prose. This also explains why I have been less active recently. [[User:NicheSports|NicheSports]] ([[User talk:NicheSports|talk]]) 14:17, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:Οἶδα|Οἶδα]] FYI your instincts were close, I found the master [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Chilmy23&diff=prev&oldid=1343910726] [[User:NicheSports|NicheSports]] ([[User talk:NicheSports|talk]]) 03:45, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::Good work, NicheSports. That is rather conclusive and also rather unsurprising. [[User:Οἶδα|Οἶδα]] ([[User talk:Οἶδα|talk]]) 03:32, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
:At a certain point, the responsibility for these problems is shared by the people who add the umpteenth warning or are otherwise aware of the situation without seeking administrative action. Which I suppose now includes me as well.
