No AI/GPT section

[biggie]

Hi

a eye / gpt has invaded the forum

you got members creating threads in general discussion, to discuss what questions do you ask gpt about registrars

if that’s what it’s come down to, then the future of conversation looks bleak.

so we need to have an AI free zone,
that means no ai generated content or images, videos, etc.

Hi

can we have an “a eye” free zone?

where no a eye content, images, etc. can be posted.

imo…

post your thoughts

imo….

Noobs don’t stand a chance

I don't think many people have dedicated more time and energy to helping domain "noobs" over the years than me. Be it on NamePros, direct messages, social media, email, etc.

If anything, this is major issue with AI.

You have people with limited to no experience, acting like they are in some position of expertise.

It can add noise, and ruin what could otherwise be a productive conversation.

Once again Brad its not im throwing you under a buss but why I couldn't register a domain today and develope it? If I nail my audience ??

Some of the AI generated content on NamePros in getting rather annoying.

It's leading to more and more pointless conversations.

It's supposed to be a discussion forum. If I wanted to have a conversion with an AI bot, I would go somewhere else.

I think NamePros needs to do something in regards to this.

I am not sure if it is policy related, disclosure related or what. It could be a label on posts about being AI generated content.

Much of the AI generated slop is easily identified. It will look like something below.

This type of stuff is ruining actual discussions.




Domains are valuable because they sit at the intersection of digital real estate, branding, and business identity. Here’s why:

---

1. They’re digital real estate​

A premium domain (like Hotels.com or Zoom.com) is like owning property on the internet. There’s only one of each name in a given extension — so scarcity creates value. Just like prime real estate in a busy city, high-quality domains in “.com” or other trusted extensions become more desirable over time.

---

2. They build instant credibility​

A good domain signals trust and legitimacy.
For example, people will almost always trust “BrightTech.com” over “BrightTech-Online.biz.”
A strong domain gives a brand a professional, established image — which can directly increase conversions, clicks, and customer confidence.

---

3. They can appreciate like assets​

Premium domains are often bought and sold for profit — similar to investing in property or art.
Because there’s limited supply and constant demand, prices for strong one-word, brandable, or keyword-rich names can skyrocket over time.

---

4. They make marketing more effective​

A simple, memorable domain is easier to type, say, and remember — which means better brand recall and cheaper customer acquisition.
Think of Booking.com or Cars.com — easy to remember, easy to find.

---

5. They define a brand’s identity​

A domain is often the first impression someone gets of a business. It shapes how people perceive it — credible, modern, innovative, or local.
For startups, the right domain can make or break branding potential.

---

6. They’re globally portable​

Unlike a storefront or office, a domain name gives a business a presence that works worldwide — 24/7, across borders, and across industries.

---

In short:
Domains are scarce, memorable, trusted, and brand-defining.
That combination makes them one of the most powerful digital assets you can own.

Agree. Pointless conversations. When I see Ai written posts, I can tell. They feel condescending or feel like they are posted by newbies who have no experience and who are uninformed and that the person is desperately trying to gain credibility in the domaining world by becoming an 'authority', but they are far from being one. Either way, I roll my eyes, SMH, and scroll on, but am annoyed my time has been wasted.

I posted my other reply before I saw this post. 100% agree -

The viewpoints some have expressed about AI’s use in the forum are valid. However, trying to regulate AI use would be a slippery slope. Users should have a right to communicate in whatever manner is feasible for them - assuming it doesn’t violate the platform’s guidelines.

Should NamePros want to avoid embracing covert censorship, it’s probably best to give folks friendly reminders that human content is preferred. The platform could even offer additional points and rewards for content that meets the NamePros ‘human content standards’.

AI is here. We don’t penalize folks for using a calculator or citing domain data from Google or other domain websites. There shouldn’t be a penalty for using AI to help gather, organize or convey your point. Sure, the ‘polish’ takes some getting use to - but won’t hinder resonance.

In closing, it’s worth pointing out the domain space has been slow to evolve - and AI provides an opportunity to change that. Let us not allow NamePros to fall behind in the grand scheme of how content is composed and shared around the internet. This should be avoided at all costs.

Lemme guess--your reply was AI generated.

Users don't have a "right" to communicate in whatever format they like on someone else's forum

The rules of the forum dictate what you can and cannot do or say. If they want a no AI section that is their perogative.

And please refrain from your "covert censorship" hogwash. We are asking to communicate with humans not with bots.

Can't talk without a bot? You don't belong on a forum made for human domainers who are supposed to care about and know WORDS.

We have had a massive problem with bot content on this forum since ChatGPT.

I believe that is, in part, why actual interaction has become quite low here.

Listen, let’s jump past the tired claims that my responses are AI simply because you chose to read/interpret them in a way that supports your bandwagon narrative. If you hadn’t shown up late to the party, and actually read this thread’s responses, you’d notice I’ve said it’s NamePro’s rules and they can do whatever they’d like with their platform several times over. I even went as far as saying those who don’t like it have the tools and freedom to create their own platform. So, your point about who makes the rules here is mute. Respectfully of course.

Lastly, your belief that “actual interaction” on this platform is low because of bot content seems like an attempt to sidestep human accountability. Let’s be real here: The quality of the human content is just as much to blame. When a platform’s content hinges on propping up one type of perspective and demonizing others, you get issues with interaction and a reduction in engagement value. Honestly, certain users have made this forum’s dialogue about nothing more than assumptions, criticisms and reminiscing about the past. That’s fine though.

This discussion about AI-use has exposed the ridiculously low tolerance some in the forum have for considering ways tech can make the platform a better resource. Maybe it’s because any minor advancement could signal the beloved 90’s are more in the rearview than before. If folks want to proverbially keep the plastic on their couches and listen to the vinyl record player here in the forum, go for it. There’s no reason to pull out the pitch forks on those who see how TOOLS like AI might make NamePros more useful for the next generation of domainers though. Then again, this forum ain’t for them. So, keep things the same.

Oh yeah, my response is AI.

In any case yes they should get strict on these user names if I couldn't register my little 7766 but you got @Bravo in this b

Is there a free version API "auto % AI detection script" somewhere that could be integrated with NamePros?

I mean, are these AI detection API's reliable and trustworthy?:

• https://www.edenai.co/post/top-free-ai-content-detection-apis-and-open-source-models
• https://gowinston.ai/ai-content-detection-api/
• https://gptzero.me/
• https://writer.com/ai-content-detector/

Maybe something that would appease everyone could be a potential AI % content bar under each post that slides from 0% to 100%, depending on the amount of ai detected. This would give the reader instant notification of what type of content they are about to engage with and can decide if they want to spend their time commenting in that particular thread or not.

• I would think that 0% to 19% is reasonable
• 20% to 49% is a bit excessive
• 50% to 74% is extreme
• and 75% to 100% is over the top and potentially just spam/post padding

Not sure how practical that is though or how much server resources it would take to do it for every post.

I don't think NamePros should ban AI content, since it also has a lot of practical uses when not abused. AI is only going to become more mainstream, so it would be counter-productive to fight it, when we should be embracing, adapting, and leveraging it to help solve more real-world (and domain industry) problems.

Why are you looking for a free version i know I'm a broky but you should play a fool for less

Why are you looking for a free version i know I'm a broky but you should play a fool for less

I always check for free tool versions first, it allows for testing to make sure it does what you need and that support is sufficient prior to investing monies into it

Most tools these days have a freemium or trial version to show potential buyers their tool is worth the subscription costs. If they don't, i pass it up

what makes you ai is that wink Erik creepy as hell
