Hey everyone!
If you do not know me, my name is Francis. I have been a DEV user for the past 6 months now. I am currently a DEV Community Mod where my job is to ensure the community abides the DEV's Mission and following best practices when it comes to articles and interacting with the community. A guide for interacting with the community can be found here:
With the recent surges of Sloan messages, I want to let you know a few things:
- Sloan, by itself, does not detect AI-generated articles or is "alive". It is sent via human (which is me for the most case. Not sure who else uses Sloan other than the internal DEV team).
- ClassifierAI, the project I did with @codingwithjiro has NOTHING to do with the moderation process on DEV.
- The deciding factor on sending the Sloan message comes down to the following: User activity, reading the article in its entirety, running via GPTzero.
I want to create a thread that allows other to ask questions and get a quick response. @ben, @jess and the rest of the DEV Team are usually busy, especially with the acquisition of Major League Hacking. A lot is happening behind the scenes and I believe that I can answer most of the community's questions on DEV.
As a result, I thought it would be nice to take in questions the community has to offer!
If you have questions about:
- AI usage on DEV and ways I can improve my moderation.
- Questions on how to use DEV.
- What a Community Mod can and cannot do.
- Other fun icebreakers.
Let me know! Any internal questions such as Forem or how the team runs can be contact to the DEV team email: yo@dev.to (DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK FIRST. If I can't answer it, I will let you know).
