MODERATORS
As someone who still semi-frequents reddit, it's mostly bots, more and more of which are clearly using some form of ChatGPT or another LLM. It's actually kinda absurd, I've seen many a comment chains where it's just different bots replying to each other, both pretending to be real people.
If bots actually do start frequenting Reddit, and they get hard to detect, the AI content generation will start poisoning itself. Isn't that cool?
For me, the cool part is that the vast majority of people can't tell anything has changed.
Also, we can be rather poisonous ourselves.
I must say I've seen in increase of conversations on Reddit that seem like everyone involved has severe lead poisoning.
Nah, it's always been like that.
