Human Written Content Standards

Artificial intelligence has certainly played a role in the development of humanity, the internet, and the gaming industry. Moreover, we are sure that this is just the beginning. However, there is a not-so-good side to this coin.

These days, the internet is increasingly filled with AI content, superficial AI-based articles, spammy reviews, and unfair evaluations. More and more often on reputable sites and trusted media appear articles generated by artificial intelligence, which are poorly checked, and are published by the hundreds per day.

That's why we created HermitGamer, which positions itself as a platform where all content is written by real people, without the use of any AI tools.

Why it Matters

AI tools do not have enough skills to analyze a product, evaluate it, and give a rating. After all, games are not just numbers, statistics, or program code. First of all, video games are about creativity.

At HermitGamer we believe that AI is not always able to correctly evaluate a request and give correct, high-quality, and clear advice on how to proceed. More and more often we started to notice that AI makes mistakes in its answers, or even deceives the user.

Such answers and articles based on these answers can harm the user, and push him to the wrong decision, which will have consequences. 

Moreover, AI-based content does not feel alive and filled with emotions. Because of this, players lose the connection with the gaming community, which is so important in the development of the entire gaming industry!

How We Use AI

At HermitGamer we do not use any AI tools to create our articles, reviews, or fact-checking. First and foremost, we value the ability and desire of our writers to express their opinions, tell an interesting story, and cover useful topics. 

Moreover, we believe that “live content”, written by a human, not only helps users in making decisions, but also causes live emotions, and empathy, and encourages communication with other players. 

For this reason, our editors make sure that all content published on HermitGamer is written by human authors, without the use of AI generators.

However, authors can still use AI to find interesting ideas, help in creating the structure of an article, or analyze ready-made statistics.

How do We Verify the Presence of AI?

First of all, we only work with authors who share our mission and values towards AI. 

Our editors at HermitGamer also have several steps to check for artificially generated content. 

Editors check content for keywords that different content generators use most often. Next, sections of text with these words are checked. 

After that, all the material is checked by several AI detectors, and also in the final check stage, the editor checks the articles for patterns that AIs often encounter when writing articles.

Moreover, each article is checked for the validity of the information.
