Npp website spelling error
-
I know, I know, I’m being pedantic but could whoever is responsible for the Npp website please start spelling ‘features’ correctly? Currently it’s being spelled ‘featurs’.

Just a small heads-up — the word ‘features’ is currently misspelled as ‘featurs’ on the NPP website. Thought I’d point it out in case it was overlooked!

You know it’s not “overlooked” because you replied to a post from a month ago that said nearly the same thing.
Please make sure that a human writes all of your posts, not an AI, or you will be banned.

@PeterJones I thought AI translations from foreign languages were acceptable here? (Or it could have been another community forum I’m on that has that rule).

If you, as a human, write text in your native language, and then translate it into English – whether using algorithmic or AI or other means – for posting here, that is perfectly reasonable; as is translating a reply from English into someone else’s language (for example, if you choose to do a post that includes both the English and non-English version of a reply to someone who posted in non-English).
But what the spammers do is they have generative AI write text – sometimes prompted by just the first post in a thread, sometimes to regurgitate answers that have already been given – that they post (probably via an automated bot process): that is 100% disallowed here. Oftentimes, it’s obvious nonsense, so it’s easy to not approve those posts and ban the user before they continue; and sometimes, it’s so derivative of a previous post that it’s clear it’s just AI regurgitation. But in this case, it was borderline enough that maybe, just maybe, it was a real human regurgitating the previous post instead of using AI to regurgitate it… but it also very easily could have spewed from one of the better modern generative AI models: either way, I was warning that user to not use generative AI, in case they were, and implicitly that their post seemed like AI spewing, whether or not it was.
To sum up: as long as the content is yours, feel free to use a tool to help you translate that content; but do not let AI do the original authoring of the post.

FWIW, this Google search gets zero hits other than this forum thread.
site:notepad-plus-plus.org "featurs"I’m guessing that the misspelling, if it ever existed, was corrected a while back.

Yes, it was fixed within a few days of me posting 😁👍
