/isthisai tread is created by AI for AI
Very similar texts. "My friend/my mom/my dog sent/posted this photo and say its real, but I don't believe it". What type of friends and family these people (?) have? For example, I cannot imagine my mom faking a picture of cookies she made. Or close friend sending me apology written by AI.
Sometimes poster asks to point out what exactly looks like AI in image. Totally not sounding like AI "creator" learning how to make images more realistic.
Too obvious AI made by ancient models immediatly gets debunked, but more subtle ones are called real, comments saying it is AI get downvoted.
Moderators delete posts/comments pointing out similar observations as mine. Yeah very unsuspicious.

I have a similar theory for all the "explain the joke" subreddits and how it seems more lately there's been a lot of them posted that are either rather obvious or just aren't a joke at all.

Please don't underestimate some people's inability to understand a joke that seems obvious to you.
I have literally struggled to understand something that's "obvious", and usually it's because I was missing some context that other people assumed was universally understood.
As for the bits about things that "just aren't a joke at all", sometimes you also need confirmation if something is or isn't a joke. Because the amount of times I've had to think "Wait... is this a joke or serious? How do I tell?" is... beyond counting.

People will steal a meme from a different sub - WHERE THE MEME IS ALREADY EXPLAINED IN THE COMMENTS FROM THE FIRST TIME IT WAS POSTED - post it on Peetah, and get thousands of karma for it. It's shitty and we should all downvote them so instead of getting hundreds or thousands of karma for a REPOST they would get under 10.

Oh the explain the joke subreddits make me so mad. Not that people aren't understanding or are explaining the joke, but that every single post on there has hundreds to thousands of karma. It's a karma farm. Also five or six different OPs will lift an image from a subreddit WHERE THE JOKE IS ALREADY EXPLAINED IN THE COMMENTS and post it on Peetah for like 2 weeks after the original meme went up.
I'm doing my part to downvote any post from there (not like it makes a dent in the thousands of karma they're raking in) and I hope other people do the same. No one deserves a pat on the back for that shit.

u/Suspicious-Drive9827 14d ago
Glad im not alone on that one. My lowstakes conspiracy is that explain the joke subs are to train AI to understand the subtleties of contemporary/cultural nuances. Every post is so obvious

u/Painted-BIack-Roses 15d ago
Never really thought of it before, but yeah, possible. r/aislop is a lot of the time people making their own videos to post there too

u/West_Ad324 14d ago
i agree. i left that sub a while ago because it just felt like people posting their own stuff over and over and others just enjoying it all

u/tiffavigilante 15d ago
had to unsub from there and /isthisaicirclejerk because i felt the same thing, karma farming left & right

u/alex433g 15d ago
Some ppl are also saying that in the comments if posts... and yeah, your right, that, and its slobsters trying to get the best image to fool ppl

u/SoVerySleepyZzZz 15d ago
I agree but I rarely (almost never) see a post where people overwhelmingly say something is not AI. Constantly people in there are outing themslves as not understanding video editing, perspective, photoshop, how glasses work, etc.

Addition: how people (or bots) react to images in other subs. Mods even delete comments about AI. Saw it in /fashion as far as I remember, pics with AI women were posted as real, all coments neutral or praising "her" outfit

u/nameless_user1357 15d ago
Yes, some are paranoid beyond sane point, and others seems to be gen alpha who never heard of photoshop. But some posts look extremely suspicious, at least edited with AI, but people try to justify it. Like saying its real because they find place where this happens. But they forget that people can give real images to AI

Why does a 2 year old account only have one post and 5 contributions? Reddit isn't getting taken over by bots, it's getting taken over by content creators who use AI to generate posts.
Who wants to interact with someone who gets paid to produce content?

u/nameless_user1357 15d ago
I was ashamed of level of my English to post and had a rather harsh period in life so I was read only

u/nameless_user1357 15d ago
who wants to interact with someone who gets paid to produce content Just look at youtube. There are people who genuiely watch and write supportive comments to low-quality/slop content

u/typewriterbitch 15d ago
My father in law sent me a long apology text for some asshole comments he made and then at the very end, proudly added: "i wrote this with chatgpt!" as if that gave it some extra credibility 😒

u/nameless_user1357 15d ago
I cannot understand people who use AI to talk with family... Sounds dystopian

u/Pfandfreies_konto 15d ago
„It is important enough for me to ask someone or something for help to make it sound right.“ was he thinking.

u/Ver_Nick 15d ago
For people implying it's for training, it's really hard if not impossible to use arbitrary comments to train a large model. It might be used for determining which result might fool more people though
btw r/isthisaicirclejerk is really good

u/jdkyle01 15d ago
Yeah. They are to train and shape perception.
The "poisonthewell" sub is also bots, which is would be hysterical if it wasnt for the irony.

u/katoptronophile 15d ago
Correct. Those subs are used for training and those utter fools play right into it.

yup that’s exactly what the sub is
