Removing * and # from AI generated articles

1. The problem

AI generated article (gemini) has the tendency to mark words with * , # or within **.

2. Screenshot or task log of the problem

Its a problem with some AI models, I suggest you switch from gemini to groq ai.

Otherwise, you could use regex replace to remove it.

Or, you could tell it inside AI prompt to not use *, ** etc but that tends to not to always work 100%

Thanks for getting back to me!
Is regex available somewhere in SCM or I need to use a third party tool?

Also.
I want to create 1 article for every keyword with AI writer. This part I’ve got. But then I want “soft spin” to create 10 articles without the spin syntax. How can I do that?

Thx

I have redone the content filtering for you:

Once you have the content on your hard drive in spintax format, the only way to get 10 variations is to open each file in the article preview and do the bulk export unspun.

Essentially, it can’t be done in SCM, there are only sort of work arounds. :sweat_smile:

Normally you want to keep the spintax intact and let the publishing tool you are using grab the variations at run time.

…

Any reason why you need 10 copies of a spun file instead of creating that file 10 times?

Thanks for the content filtering! I haven’t noticed it there. In fact I wasn’t even sure what that content sources part does at all. :blush: Thanks for the tutorial too!

I need the articles for a pbn and I’d like to check them before posting. Also I use macros in SER to create the final article. Once the articles are used I want to delete the article so it won’t get posted again.
I guess setting up a separate task that spins the the AI generated Existing articles will do the job.

One more question. What is that (default) scm AI model?

PS. This new interface is way better! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: It’s very intuitive unlike the previous ones. :upside_down_face:

Yes I got some feedback around March this year that the old UI was a bit too archaic, so I just replaced it with a new ui framework (ant-d) and it forced me to re implement some of the old AI with new techniques. A lot of it is also replacing different UI objects from different libraries to use just ant-d which forces better UI uniformity.

Actually I completely redid the content filtering so it worked better once you asked me about it. It was like you said a bit hidden so wasn’t obvious what it did.

For this:

The task is using the default global

Which is from here

If you change the default…

But the dropdown actually allows you to over ride the AI model used for just this task.

So it no more uses the app default

Do you do this inside the SCM upload post viewer? or its down in another app?

I create the final article using GSA SER where SER pulls the article, blurp and links using its %macros% function. When building articles this way, SER can’t check if the article was sent or not so to avoid duplicate postings the articles are deleted upon posting.
Meanwhile, I’ve set up a separate task to spin the AI created articles but there isn’t option there to set the number of articles to create.

Thanks but what exactly is that scm AI? Is this your own proprietary LLM only available for SCM or just a fancy name for a better spinner?
I’ve found the subscription page but haven’t had the time to test it out yet.

SER should be able to set number of spins?

Its just a convenient way to get access to AI services, in the background its using GPT4 mini.

You can use your own openAI account.

However for some packages, AI credits are bundled free so it gives users access to AI without having to signup to extra services.

However for power users, the option is there to upgrade to using your own openai keys or to migrate to a different service.

Yeah, it has the ability to track article usage and restrict article usage but that doesn’t work when it creates the articles on the fly from macros. Or at least it didn’t know it when last time I checked. I’ve just contacted Sven about it to see if things have changed.

Meanwhile, I’m building another set of articles and trying to insert custom content but I’ve encountered difficulties.
What does the <%-body()%> macro means?
Also, I’m not sure the inserting lines function works as it intended. When I set a bigger number than there are in the custom document, scm starts to repeat the lines over and over again.
I just want it to insert all the content that is in the custom file.

<%-body()%> only appears inside article templates.

If you haven’t seen it yet I wouldn’t worry about it, as the other options will work out fine for you. ( its possible to have 2 x <%-body()%> in a custom template so if you chose that it would do the insert twice)

What kind of content are you inserting?

It sounds like you want to use the insert html.

This inserts everything in that box at the end of the article.

Custom content it inserts random lines from a file into an article. Wasn’t designed for inserting everything, as you noticed, it wraps around if you insert a number larger than is inside the file.

Now all of this isn’t set in stone, so we can make some changes to existing features depending on what you are trying to insert and where.

Custom html would do fine but it doesn’t have the option where to insert.

I want to insert two macros for SER. It’s basically a blurp with a link, an image and a syndicated text:

%spinfolderdelete-C:\xxxxx\xxx.txt%
<img src="https://www.xxxxxx.com/xxx.jpg">
body
of
text

Where do you want it to appear?

Ah, I’ve just reread your answers. I want the content to appear at the end of the article so custom html will do just fine I guess.

Thanks a lot for bearing with me!

If you ever need it in another position let me know.

Added a tooltip at the end so its obvious
