"A Reddit Bot Drove Me Insane" - relatable yet ironically itself reads like fucking AI slop
I stumbled across a Reddit bot posting emotional rants about how bots are ruining Reddit; just to sell AI-generated books through affiliate links. A perfectly dystopian grift for the dead internet.
It's kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it's complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.
Slop or not, it does happen so often now that it does not feel like it's worth it going online, but it's worth sharing, I guess, gah.
It doesn't read like AI to me at all. I think some people, especially here on Lemmy, are becoming increasingly paranoid lately and think everything they see is AI-generated. I saw a comment here a few days ago where somebody accused an article of being written by AI because the writer used a lot of em-dashes. Like, some dude out there is getting accused of being an AI just because he's an English major. The amount of distrust in the most trivial of things these days is just wild.
Did you not read the part where it linked to a affiliate link to a ebook that was written in AI?I'm mistaken. I read the article and was confused.
You are commenting on OP's take below the link. Apologies.
The author of that article seems real and makes a decent point. Reddit is infested with that shit nowadays.
There's tells I've noticed that if something seems to friendly, or formal, and the tone seems too verbose it might be generated. Formatting gives it away as well
And then there's fuckers like me that just write like that sometimes lol
Well stop being so friendly and people won't think you're a robot. Jk/
How does formatting give it away?
I've honestly struggled a lot trying to figure out what posts are just chatbot trolls and what posts are people worth trying to create a dialogue with.
I mean, sometimes posts will say things that seem like they're intentionally misleading or inherently malicious in some way and it's like... Is this person for real? Are they trying to push some specific narrative? Or are they just misinformed? Or is this just a chatbot designed to upset people and disrupt online conversations on this subject?
So fucking tired of people like you, this isn't AI
You're just like those maga assholes that harass non-traditionally attractive women as being trans
Get the fuck off of my internet
Did we read the same article? What are you talking about?Ah I see. You're referring to OP's body text. Sorry about that.
Yeah OP, wtf. Dude, leave your comments in the comment stream.
It's kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it's complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.
It's like 4chan-anons recounting things and only being able to do it coherently in a greentext style.
I try to catch myself being too antagonistic or soapbox-y even on Lemmy. I hope we can keep this place interesting enough to discuss stuff on. If bots can somehow emulate really respectful but concise, intriguing and fact-based discussion then, this might be an unpopular opinion but I don't see that as too much of a problem. It's that bots have copied overused comment chains and only seem to be product shills or propagandists wrecking the space.
I don’t think the article is AI, but I would be hilarious if it was an AI article written about an AI reddit post and the possible AI written comments on it
