_bots are making social media ̶f̶e̶e̶l̶ 'fake' _

Yes, but...
Making social media fake is the intention. It's not a failure.
The failure is that the fraud is noticed: the bots and LLMs are not yet good enough to be undetectable.
The fraud will be perfected when LLMs can be fake without feeling fake. At least until the fraudsters have achieved their objectives. After that, will they care how their victims feel? I guess not.

To decode that a little, he’s accusing humans of starting to sound like LLMs, even though LLMs — spearheaded by OpenAI — were literally invented to mimic human communication, right down to the em dash. And OpenAI’s models definitely trained on Reddit, where Altman was a board member through 2022, and was disclosed as a large shareholder during the company’s IPO last year.
He’s a moron.

I didn’t know he was on the board at Reddit. Now I feel even worse for ever having posted there.

It sounds like a very discreet advertisement for their own social network.
