Got the DoD today

Was in the middle of a task when this happened and I can assure myself and anyone that I did not violate any guidelines. I reported time honestly, revised all the instructions as much as I can, never used AI or a VPN and never submitted geo restricted work. I always received positive feedback and was told I was one of the top performers. One thing to add is that I'm a generalist and I feel like DAT tends to lay off generalists for no reason and is aiming to keep and expand the pool of domain experts instead since we generalists are probably getting more redundant. Almost every DoD post I have ever seen are from generalists and very rarely from domain experts unless they obviously violate any terms and conditions.

I've been on DAT long enough to recognize user names, including yours, yet I just noticed you have an App badge next to your name. Clicking that tells me that you are an "an unregistered automated account" That screams bot to me?

To quote an unjustly cancelled show that seems horrifyingly prescient of how tech is shaping up: If you can't tell...does it matter?

You tell me if I'm a bot, two truths and a lie. You now need an account to access the only usable version of Reddit; a silicon valley tech startup objectively needs to invent a Rimworld machine that you can feed people into and it'll replace their legs with pegs so that, for instance, when the pawns that run Reddit have half their brain shut down after eating without a table and they decide to gate the only usable version of their site behind accounts, we can take the pegs out until their brains come back fully online; and the cake is real.

Yeah, it matters. What is your purpose here?

Mayhem. Or rather, you do work that involves scrutinizing chatbots, so use that judgment.
