since discourse automatically formats -- into –
the – (em dash) its actually a pretty effective way to get a dash without getting a header or a checklist on accident
i dont think its generated, i think the tone is a bit off for humans but if it is generated, i wouldn’t say that the em dashes are the case
here’s a smiley bc i like smileys
AWESOME TIPS! My maps are going to get 10000000000000000 times better
Thanks for so much likes! I am currently working on a new guide! (Most likely posted next month or so)
This guide is AMAZING my map has gained over 5k plays as of now, thanks @Jimmy Good guide 
Nice! Most of my maps can’t even reach 1,000 plays!
Derke why don’t you publish your FNAF in Gimkit map?
When building i tend to go for good system quality. If the system breaks I HAVE to fix it.
For example! Sprinting system has to work and not break when players use an ability or smthing.
I also prioritize device/system separation when building.
What makes a map polished/high quality is when there is little to no bugs, good quality of things to do, non repetitive gameplay, and good deco.
I think the main problem i have is one ability system will affect a core system i built in the game making me REVAMP the entire ability or core system 
Example: my game when you slash you get slower (affecting the core running system) making me remake the running system to fit with the slash to not break (drain stamina) when you get slowed.
The problem with gimkit is very simple mechanics in a fun game may have used about 8 devices because how limited gimkit’s device managing works also how limited code is only allowing 75 blocks.
THAT IS SO TRUE whenever I make a system (most of the times player ability such as sprinting fast or stuff) on top of another one, such as energy drainage or stuff the original one just doesn’t work and there become many exploits
There’s this map two weeks ago I was about to finish, it was a Five Nights At Freddy’s Gimkit Version and one team was animatronics (if you haven’t heard of it its basically robots) and the other was the night guard but the sprinting aand power and double draining and cameras just got me all confused so I had to tear it up, and eventually gave up. This is why I like to make systems simple and organized now!
Ooooookay… yep. Didn’t even need a detector. This is entirely AI (or HEAVILY rewritten with it). Specifically ChatGPT talks exactly like this.
@Jimmy, AI use is neither allowed nor tolerated in the GKC forums. Please at least take the time to write your own guides. Thank you.

“Most Gimkit Creative Maps Feel Unfinished. Here’s Why”
This format of “[General, brief statement]. Here’s Why” is sometimes used in professional writing, but most of the time, it’s extremely overused by chatbots to make a seemingly formal or eye-catching title without much effort. I assume this is one of the few options in a small bank of reusable title formats in the AI’s programming that they like to choose from. They also tend to use stuff like “A [noun]: How to [blank]/How I learned to [blank]/etc.”
Oh, would you look at that.
Even just putting an entirely different title within the guide after you already have a title is questionable.
Who on earth actually credits their own name in a guide made by one person when we can all just click on your profile?? smh.
This is them trying to justify their formal vocabulary and flawless grammar/formatting by prefacing with a claim about their experience in the subject. We don’t even have any proof that they’ve been using GKC for that long. They just said it.
*checks official GKC changelog *
ChatGPT also loves to use this format of “[blank] isn’t [one or two short words] – it’s [one or two short words]” to contradict an “expected” situation.
For example, “The key to a perfect cake isn’t just the ingredients – it’s passion.”
ChatGPT loves to use a numbered list with bolded headings.
Another tell-tale sign of ChatGPT’s work. It loves to take a false statement and show how it is false or misleading using an equality symbol to convey the rigidity of an idea.
Tell me who the heck you’ve ever seen using an equals sign online like that.
ChatGPT is a huge fan of lists and bulletpoints. A HUGE fan. Even if it barely flows well with the sentence at all. It isn’t scared to cut into the sentence and end it off with a pronoun (usually “I”) followed by that colon.
It seems the OP was also too lazy to change ChatGPT’s formatting here, because you can’t usually copy and paste its bulletpoints, and when you do, it doesn’t work very well because the AI seems to use periods [2] to create bullets instead of hyphens [3] or asterisks, [4] which are what we use for bulleted lists here on Discourse. If you ever see a bulleted list that isn’t even formatted because each list point is preceded by a period, it’s likely that this is the case.
So anyway, this “Jimmy” guy didn’t proofread the AI’s writing apparently, because that should be a list.
More em dashes. [5] If text sounds AI-generated, always keep a lookout for these. They make it really obvious.
So Jimmy here was using this image as an example of a bad map. And yeah, it’s not a GOOD map from what we can actually see… but this is honestly a terrible and low-effort example that doesn’t actually show what makes a map “bad.” Just because it has some catwalk terrain and it’s a platformer doesn’t mean it’s… bad. This could actually be a small part of a GREAT map that we just can’t see the rest of.
A better example should show what the map suffers from in specific, such as bad layering, default fonts, a lack of originality, or hasty/untested gameplay. We see none of that in the image.
The reason this makes me suspicious of AI is because Jimmy could’ve just hopped onto gkc, entered a random plat map they have, gone off to the side to place a few terrain blocks, and taken a screenshot. They probably got this image in a matter of seconds, because this guide HAS NO REAL EFFORT. -__- Jimmy’s image would be a suitable example if their effort was consistent and the guide actually had some effort put into it, but it just doesn’t. They just needed something to put with the AI text to make it look good.
Yet another common ChatGPT habit. It tends to put a statement on a line, followed by a colon [6] and then a new line. But the main sign here is the sequence using arrows. I dunno about you, but I have never on the face of the earth seen an actual, living, breathing human write with ARROWS like that online. GPT likes to use them and from the moment I first saw it doing that, I was completely bewildered as to why it would ruin the flow of its paragraphs like that.
Notice as well the difference in the tone between this guide and Jimmy’s replies. The guide always has appropriate punctuation, and the replies tend to skip over grammatical mistakes and the lack of punctuation.
The rest of the guide is mostly repeats of the common trends I’ve pointed out so far.
anyway yeah guys. don’t always trust whatcha see online :P
I felt the need to call this out because it’s very clearly AI-written and the fact that people were applauding this slop frustrated me. Like it ain’t your fault, it’s theoretically well-written and it makes some good points, but it’s low-effort AI. And learning to distinguish between human and robot work is quickly going to become a major life skill.
Jimmy’s “good map” example:
notice how bro got his low-effort examples of “bad” maps by throwing them together in the editor, and then got his actually kinda good example in-game. Like… he could just be playtesting his own map, but given what we’ve seen so far, I doubt he went through the PAINSTAKING, UTTERLY STRENUOUS time to make his own maps good :3
Also bro had the audacity to continue replying to people as if he wrote the guide himself??? I bet if I asked a simple question about this guide, Jimmy couldn’t answer it
Moral of the story: don’t be so trusting that everything you see online is real. AI is absolutely everywhere nowadays, you wouldn’t believe it.
Wanted to ping @here, but I’m too nervous to notify 10 users 
@Jimmy, [7] if you really don’t think you can write your own guides well, please just try your best first instead of copying the work of AI and lying about it to everyone. It’s better to fail than to give up.
@Jimmy
Thanks for replying calmly, I know I was pretty harsh in this post.
So, just to be clear… you wrote the entire guide yourself, while the AI only helped you draft and organize it? Or did it entirely rewrite it for you? While I can see the possibility that you gave the AI your ideas or even a full draft, I highly doubt this guide in its current state is human-written. It must have at least been revised by the chatbot.
I as well. Bullet points are great to make a paragraph clearer, and I’m not saying they aren’t – just was a little suspicious, since ChatGPT heavily relies on them.
Thanks for coming clean, tho!!

Yeah nw! I’m not blaming you or anyone else, I just wanted to inform you all for future reference :]
Here’s what the AI detector says:
Guys AI is fine to use in guides (I THINK) from what ive heard of as long as the information is correct and you dont use it to make a solution for topics.
Yeah adding on,ngl using ai to organize thoughts should be completely fine bc you’re not fully relying on ai, the rule states against ai generated guides, not ai-supported guides
Aren’t you using AI to calculate if it’s written by AI or not? Please don’t criticize people for sounding a bit generic.
