User talk:JamesOB12

August 2025

Hello, I'm Jlwoodwa. An article that you recently made, Hardy perfect fishing reel, seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or another application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. In particular, you should check each citation, and fictitious references must be removed. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:42, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi thanks for the help and direction I used chat GPT to generate some summaries as the books referenced can be quite long. The references I provide and I have checked for hallucinations. Is that permitted? If not I can start again without any gpts. Thanks JamesOB12 (talk) 04:54, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

The language it's generated is very promotional.

Celebrated for its precision engineering, distinctive sound, and classic aesthetic, the Perfect has long been revered by both traditionalists and contemporary fly fishers around the world. Its design has remained fundamentally unchanged for over a century, symbolizing craftsmanship, heritage, and the golden age of fly fishing.

This sounds like an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article. I would recommend just writing it yourself; even if it hasn't hallucinated anything, the promotion makes it a poor summary. jlwoodwa (talk) 06:22, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Understood, it’s a good point RE promotional language, will re write myself now. JamesOB12 (talk) 06:58, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: J. C. H. King (August 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MediaKyle was:

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.
