Quick warning for anyone considering this seller's article writing service, particularly the PRO tier.
Ordered 10 articles at PRO tier ($140) for an adult review site. Received 5 articles in batch 1, all clearly AI-generated and run through a humanizer tool. Key red flags:
1. All titles followed the default LLM template (Comprehensive Review of X, The Ultimate Y, The Pioneering Z, etc.)
2. Quillbot signature throughout: duplicated sentences with synonyms swapped, dozens of them per article
3. Hallucinations a human would never write: a porn site users accessing "the blockchain", a fictional person named "Steve Winables", "the erection and maintenance sector", a Bible quote randomly inserted before a section heading
4. Generic content, 3 of 5 articles did not mention my site at all
When I flagged the issues, the seller asked me to stop using AI detection tools (basically an admission). His follow-up sample paragraph described a porn site as "adorable" and called premium-tier performers "underrated" (factually wrong). Confirmed the issue was systemic, not a one-off batch problem.
Refund process: started at 50% offer ($70), citing "costs incurred" for what was ChatGPT + Quillbot. Settled at $120 after I prepared to open a formal dispute ($7 PayPal fees passed to me, so net $113 back).
Fair note: he did refund most of the order and was responsive. Not a runaway scammer.
Posting so others know that the PRO tier (sold as human written, no AI) is in practice AI + humanizer. Originality.ai passing at 99% does not mean human content, it means a humanizer was used. Google's quality systems do not care about detector scores.
