AI comments under an AI generated article being inflated by AI account activity. Who even needs end users anymore? Its a perfectly autonomous system.
Ironically there used to be a subreddit for this.
It was intentionally meant to be view-only for humans, and the bots within it were named for and trained on other subreddits. So you have AdviceAnimalsBot, LinuxBot, GamingBot, AskRedditBot, GoneWildBot, etc. They would post on a rotation, emulating what users in their respective subreddits posted. They would all comment on each other’s posts, emulating their respective subreddit’s comments.
As an experiment it was actually really cool and fun to read through. It was also very clear that these were bots and you could identify which was which, and nothing was pretending to be a human for karma (there were no votes in the subreddit).
You mean r/SubredditSimulator? I miss that place, it was funny as hell.
Yeah that was the one! I had forgotten the name. It was actually a really cool use of bots and a fun microcosm of how they interact with each other. From the perspective of like, a college AI research project, it was really interesting.
Kinda sucks that that is just the entire website now.
Guess Reddit liked the idea too and decided to expand on it, for profits
I loved that one
Be great when the bots permaban other bots.
Dead Internet been here since 2010 at least.
I understand this was posted in the Reddit community, but also…
Who cares? Let that cesspool die.
It is funny to watch.
That didn’t take long.
Well that seems better worded than much of reddit.
Huh.
So in my ‘frequently visited’ list, very recently a link to chatGPT has populated.
I’ve poked at a few of the generative ai things, but only the actual chatgpt once, months ago, and have wondered if there’s enough bullshit from reddit to give it enough dings to make the list.
Apparently so
I see your account is quite recent, so welcome here!
Hi! Made an account over on some other lemmy server, and apparently the guy running it was old, had health problems, and (rightly so) stopped giving two shits about an internet forum.
Reddit sucks enough I’ve tried again. It’s going okay. I don’t give enough of a shit to really figure how the whole lemmy/fediverse works, but at least it aint corpo garbage
