Comment on AI Bots Appeared After Reddit Partnered with OpenAI

I left Reddit after it became clear that every other post on every cute animal subreddit was a dead pet sympathy karma farm bot post. That and the relationship-panic gossip trash.
There’s nothing genuine left there.

People on reddit always make the assumption that bots are all going to be angry divisive posts or posts advertising products but this is by far the most common form of reddit bot I see: the kind that just posts a bunch of one sentence generic positivity comments for easy upvotes where every post has the exact same grammatical format. My favorite is when like four of them post in the same thread with barely reworded versions of the same comment. I’ve gotten a good read on them at this point and I notice them constantly.

Yeah, the general-purpose or “default” subs were always terrible. I haven’t completely left reddit yet because of some very specific communities that don’t have, and probably never will have, a fediverse equivalent, and they don’t seem to be too much of a target for AI bots, but I am starting to notice how social media influencers are affecting the population as a whole. But maybe that’s just the cloud I’m shaking a fist at.
