Let’s talk about spam

Microsoft-owned GitHub yesterday unveiled GitHub Copilot X, which will incorporate OpenAI's GPT-4 model for chat and voice support within the programming platform.

Oh, and speaking of Microsoft, did you hear Bill Gates published a 7-page letter on AI? Read our summary here.

Maintaining authenticity online is becoming a more mainstream challenge, and it's been affecting communities like ours for a long while.

We’ve heard your concerns about sketchy upvotes, spammers, and, more recently, AI-generated comments.

To ensure Product Hunt remains a level playing field for all makers, here’s a high-level summary of a few new measures taken to maintain the integrity of our platform:

1. Homepage ranking adjustments: We're refining our homepage algorithm to quarantine and disqualify inauthentic or bot-like voting behavior, using better moderation tools and programmatic detection.
2. Homepage randomization: To give all products a more distributed chance at exposure on launch day, we're testing a randomized homepage sort for the first 2 hours (PT).
3. Trust and verification: We've added new features to improve user trust, such as LinkedIn login for profile verification, a focus on email verification, and account age considerations.
4. Community empowerment: To combat the rise of AI-generated comments, we've added an AI-specific flag to the report link. Help us maintain authenticity by flagging any bot-generated comments you find on the site.

These measures are part of our ongoing commitment to ensure Product Hunt remains an authentic and supportive community for makers. We appreciate your feedback, and encourage you to share any suggestions with our team.
