That story is crazy and very believable. I 100% believe that AI bots are out there astroturfing opinions on reddit and elsewhere.
I'm unsure if that's better or worse than real people doing it, as has been the case for a while.
Belief doesn't even have to factor; it's a plain-as-day truth. The sooner we collectively accept this fact, the sooner we change this shit for the better. Get on board, citizen. It's better over here.
I worry that it's only better here right now because we're small and not a target. The worst we seem to get are the occasional spam bots. How are we realistically going to identify LLMs that have been trained on reddit data?
Honestly? I'm no expert and have no actionable ideas in that direction, but I certainly hope we're able to work together as a species to overcome the unchecked greed of a few parasites at the top. ~#LuigiDidNothingWrong~
What is likely happening is that bots are manipulating bots
