An excerpt from The Register
Quote: | ChatGPT bots are spamming Reddit
Reddit forums are being flooded with increasing quantities of comments generated by ChatGPT and posted by bot accounts, leaving moderators struggling to deal with the rising volume of spam.
Several subreddits like r/AskHistorians, r/AskWomen, r/AskEconomics, and r/AskPhilosophy have been beset by bots over recent months. Reddit has reportedly removed several hundred bot accounts, but they continue to proliferate on the site posting AI-generated text and inundating automated systems that flag suspicious content, Vice reported.
These spam bots often promote adult content, illegal drugs, and products sold by dodgy vendors. "The bot problem was already extremely bad and Reddit's automatic anti-spam systems barely help, and by the time they do, it's too late and the bot's existence has generally served its purpose," Reddit user u/abrownn, who moderates r/Technology, posted online.
"Bots on Reddit are overwhelmingly used for simple advertising purposes, not political manipulation like everyone likes to claim," he added. "Most things advertised by these bot accounts are adult oriented: marijuana ... porn, gambling, or they're sold or operated to mass-advertise drop shipped goods, most of which are credit-card skimming scams or deliver different goods than ordered or never deliver at all." |
We have a few AIs pop up from time to time which the karma system does a reasonable job of squashing but at some point the Reddit stuff will probably be adapted for BB Code so brace yourself for a tidal wave ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Well, maybe it hastens the inevitable day when reddit finally becomes fully recursive and disappears up it's own rectum?
As above though, who needs a bot when you have Ste? He's like a one-man volountary bot-net.
I find chatGPT posts have a particular tone and cadence that is becoming quite recognisable. Bland and slightly preachy with a bit of a pleading/whinging quality. It's a difference engine statistically predicting the next word. In reality, nobody actually sits on the exact turning point of the bell curve. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

They should ask ChatGPT how to deal with the problem. If it's truly self-aware it would blow it's own main fuse or something.... ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
