This was the weirdest thing I’ve seen today. These are only the ones I’ve spotted.

funnily enough, these bots are also replying to an obvious repost from another bot account. It’s at the top right now! Beautiful

tipping points:

  1. consuming so much AI content has led to me able to see subtle patterns
  2. They’re all saying “exactly” and saying the same thing"
  3. their usernames are similar, flower/nature related, two words, no profile pictures
  4. All of their profiles have the exact same format of comments with the agreement, summary
  5. and they all have porn on their profile. oh

edit: tf?

    Reddit has so rapidly descended into nothing but bots. Especially on certain subs, for some reason… Even some quite niche ones just seem to be bots talking to each other. Fortunately the only sub I really want to keep my reddit account for is mostly safe, but even there we had some issues.

    In some cases I get what’s happening - bot post with featuring some kind of obscure product, then buried in the comments you find the bot replies letting people know (apparently organically) where they can buy it - but in other cases like this it just seems pointless. I suppose the idea is to make the profiles seem natural, but they’re almost all private anyway.
