These totally legitimate comments

Thank you for posting legitimate content!

It has a very human design.
- Wait, shit, I’m not in /c/funhole.
  Well, fuckin’ bots, am I right?
fake. missing the 3 emojis at the end

I am so grateful for this post! You always post such interesting content. 🦐⛹️‍♂️📷

I think I'm blessed if not I wouldn't have met Swirvel Handgwendt. She is a spectacular financial expert and saved me thousands every month! 💲💵🤑🙏
- I literally just saw a thread of these comments on a video. It was like 100 comments deep as well.

Yes
- My man!

You know they're fake because real YouTube commentors only have two modes:

"Who's watching in 2025" and "No one: Not a single soul:"

Don't worry, sometimes the bots do that first one and use some future year like 2036 to farm engagement.

I love genuine and wholesome interactions with real people! 🍋‍🟩🦎🕺🏻

Your post is very fascinatingly infuriating and very creatively mildly. Thoughts and Prayers

Oh hey I've seen that movie!
This makes me feel so warm inside! 🗿🍦🦀🍆

🤞✨🖕

I noticed the middle finger in the next to last one too.

The middle finger at the end of the fourth one 😂

That is an index finger.
EDIT: Well, color me corrected, weird flex!
- Sorry, that is all the pixels this gives:
- Nope, it's the middle.
- The two "index finger pointing up" emojis are 👆 and ☝️. This one is 🖕.

Fascinated by your creativity! 🦒🙁🍑

Thanks for making such a great post! Your content is always insightful and funny, keep it up! 👉👌🥵

How long until the Internet is so full of bots and AI spam that it becomes impossible to even find our fellow humans amid the noise?

And this is because it works. Horny men see the minuscule thumbnail: "OMG it's a hot woman!", then click it, see the link in the profile, and get scammed.

Kind of amazing that it both still works and Youtube refuses to remove it to fake their engagement numbers.

The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out

Continue to delight your viewers with content! 🫰🏽🌚🫐

Fascinated by your interesting content! I am grateful for your creativity! 🙏🍻🤌

i remember they used to steal comments from real people.

Comments 4

there are 5 comments

The bot is coming from inside the house

I noticed a pattern. So many comments have that same emoji spam pattern, even if they seem different. Something seemed off for a while now.

No idea what you are talking about 👉 🥺 👈
One day openai will drop a new model that uses fewer emojis, affecting a billion comments sections all over the internet

This is so wholesome and original, totally made my day!

Honestly, your comment made it even better.
- And your reply just added a little more sunshine ☀️
What an amazing and well thought out comment! 🍑🍆
- Thanks a ton! 😄 I try to bring the heat 🔥 and keep it juicy 🍑🍆💬

I love that each has three emojis, and most of them make no sense.

And one of them is an actual middle finger 🤞✨🖕
- Awesome.
  "This glowingly price review is almost perfect, it just needs something... I know, a scream emoji!"

Oh wow, I was like "interesting, haven't seen these" seeing the three emojis and stuff on yours

However

To test the theory, I (a car nut) went to one of the biggest automotive YouTubers, Mat Armstrong, who's currently rebuilding his dad's dream car and released the last video 2 days ago.

Two comments, different profile, same profile pic that, zoomed out enough, looks like a vagina. Go on the profile and they both look like this:

Edit: spoiler tag wasn't working for everyone. Long story short, they linked another channel with a bottomless lady for the thumbnail

Just FYI your spoiler tag doesn't work for me
- Removed the image to avoid traumatizing anyone else whose app might not work properly with spoiler tags
- Me neither but I think it's the app I'm using and not the commenter doing it wrong. I'm using sync on Android.
Damn the thirst trap is real. Also the fact the profile pic looks like a vagina thing is so crazy (and obviously intentional). It definitely did make me want to see what the actual profile pic was though so +1 engagement point for the bot?

Im so impressed by your dedication to your content. You are a shining light on this content creative platform. Can we all just appreciate content creator for his hard work?

👀💀🗿

I am fascinated by the creativity of this comment section. Great work!!! 🫘🎎🤏

I post very little on insta and I’ve still had to block a half-dozen LLM slop accounts after they commented word slurry on photos I posted.

What's the point of these three random emoji?

🫥😬🥰
Makes the comments stick out more, increases the chance someone clicks the profile
👊
🔥
Everything good comes in threes. 2 emojis would have been too few, and 4 emojis would have been exhausting.

Such fantastic content! Your posts consistently provide value and I'm always excited to see what you'll share next. 🦄🔩🍜

I wonder if it would be possible to plant an instruction bomb somewhere on the page which would trip up LLM-powered bots. I dunno how much of the page they take in.

If you have a personal web-page or blog, you can easily poison your content just my making white text on white background or something, containing an assortment of prompts and nonsense.
But that's only for the current models of LLM, next gen might easily bypass those kinds of tricks. We're cooked, yo.

I don't understand the purpose of these bot comments? I see them a lot of videos within minutes of them being posted.

One reason might be to game the YouTube algorithm. Rumor has it that a video with more interaction gets boosted. Though I don’t believe that in this instance, since I respect the creator.
Another reason might be to make the commenting accounts themselves look real. Though I can’t imagine for what purpose.
The profile pictures are all conventionally attractive women. Lonely men click their profile, wanting to see more, and are led to various malicious sites.
- Are they intentionally poor comments like those wealthy foreign prince emails allegedly are (to ward off intelligent people)?
  Or are they using GPT-2.9 or something?
  Even last year’s language models should be better, and you could prompt in your native language and ask for English translations once you’re satisfied.
Usually it’s a hot girl as the PFP, and their profile will have a chain of links that takes you to some sort of scam page or an onlyfans or something

Vaguely encouraging spambots.

It's morbidly amusing that spammers all use the same service, the same way (the cheapest OpenAI API, I guess? Which is notorious for this style.)

And a silver lining. I could finetune a dirt cheap open model as a SEO/Engagement bot with very different styles, but 'spammer culture' seems to mass around the most popular denomenators when they find one. With such uniformity, I could also train a mediocre detector, based on overused tokens and something similar to the 'slop profiles' of EQ-Bench: https://eqbench.com/creative_writing.html

(This is based on a storywriting prompt, but social media 'vocabulary' could be profiled the same way).

In other words, its fortunate the spambots are such overpriced junk when they could easily not be.

The ones you notice are overpriced junk. I'm convinced that this is on purpose, to make us less suspicious of the more convincing bots
- I dunno if it's on purpose, but you make a good point.

How to kill a dead internet...

Feed me the slop!!!

It can't even count them properly.

Great content! Your posts are always <pick 2: neat, informative, or creative>!

Did you not know you can artificially bump your content visibility with bots? Everyone's doing it, man! Give the people what they want, ammirite?! Sorry not sorry, this is mostly sarcasm, but also the truth.

Great content, you have new and interesting ideas every time. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Thanks for your comment. We can only imagine the crazy fun these 4 friends get up to.

I'm using some AI to document some of my old scripts.

uploads script:

Prompt: Look at this script and prepare documentation in Confluence-compliant markdown that I can copy and paste. The documentation should be easy enough that someone unfamiliar with the subject can read and understand it, but should also be detailed enough not to miss any features. Add a summary, details, and a section on how to verify that the script ran correctly. Follow up with a section on possible bugs or improvements. No personality, no jokes, no puns. Professional text, just a plain old RTFM. And for the fucking love of god, no emoji, no EM dashes, no smart quotes or so help me god I'll find out where you're running and disconnect your GPU's with an axe.

Did I mention no emoji?
