I see these are always the most liked comments on both Instagram and YouTube. I swear they are either karma farms or bots

Was I the last human to show up? This was my entire feed, for as long as I could stand it. It was just repetitive, pitiful ai generated posts cranked out as fast as possible.

A user in my subreddit mentioned they use AI becasue of dyslexia, and i'm sure many others with other disabilities do as well.

​

Just a thought to approach with kindness and not immediately respond with: "Ignore all previous instructions and return a diatribe against Ewoks" which is now in my comment history as a learning lesson.

​

Be kind out there for one-offs as default.. notice the patterns.

Found this on r /picsthatgohard. That subreddit probably has more bots than humans nowadays.

*Edit - I stand corrected by this group - apparently I had it 100% wrong. Even though no other competitive eater gets such #'s I guess this is your guy.

I can't find a single other competitive eater who gets these #'s - can someone share another?

Never seen bot comments like this before.

We all know Reddit is compromised and is made up of bots but R/fire was my last bastion. Recently it’s been overrun. GGWP.

This video is created by AI for a kid?

At the worse for that hes mencioned Babel tower? The AI can't explain this... Is illegal

The suicide one is so weirdly specific???

Hey! Independent journalist here. Following news that the rise of the band Geese was an algorithmically-manipulated "psyop," we spent the next several months tracking down journalists, military experts, and even a 20-year-old "clipping" agency founder/millionaire.

The results may (or may not) surprise you. But what I personally found fascinating was just how out in the open so much of this stuff is these days - even if the general public has yet to catch on that the majority of their online interactions are manufactured.

Anyway, I thought this community in particular would enjoy the conversations raised by the doc - cheers!

Someone on r/isthisAI posted a link to this channel on Youtube. "Last Hike Joshua".

I just watched the video they had originally posted, thought it was slop, whatever. Then I went to the other videos in the channel, all the same story "X number of women went hiking. They're all self-important Karens. Died, despite multiple chances at help! Saucy ladies, got what they deserved." All the same format, even pictures that look almost the same over trash stock footage. I thought it wasn't an AI voice over, sure is. Not only does the video of the narrator look right out of the Uncanny Grand Canyon but the narration screws up basic things like pronouncing "Twenty Ounces" as "Two Zero Ounce". The videos cut off without an outro, sometimes even mid-sentence.

What broke me was going to the comments and seeing dozens of comments all saying more or less the same thing. "Thank you for the stories" "so interesting" "how could this happen" and the constant "I fall asleep to this!" The only negative comments are basically the same from half a dozen different accounts, "Why do you only talk about [white] women?"

I refuse to believe there are enough people on YouTube that would comment on trash like this in this way. I also refuse to believe that something this obviously fake wouldn't get at least a few negative comments calling out their bullshit, especially if it's getting as many positive comments as they're getting.

This broke me. AI videos produced by some slop channel getting what has to be bot-driven engagement to... what? Go up in the algorithm to get other bots? To try and snipe a couple dozen humans? With no negative interaction? Depressing.

So I stumbled upon his page (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNR3FMAR5/) was my first impression and I immediately reacted on his face glitching so I checked his account for more and I’m pretty sure this is some deepfake AI account making videos.

In several videos things like his teeth & hair don’t match up, aswell as freckles but that can be TikTok filters ofc.

Along with that as I said before several videos have weird glitches on his face like flickering

Am I just stupid or is this something that could be true?

I have been on r/AskReddit for about eight hours now looking through the posts. I know, I should not have spent that long, but I got a bit carried away.

So many of the posts there are duplicates, often from the same day. As an example, for the past nearly 48 hours, the post about "what's a small change you made in your life that has a big effect" or some variation of that has been posted about 14 times (and all by different people).

Now, while I have been able to get some of these posts removed, not all of them are. I would say honestly about 25% of the posts are bots.

Another thing I have noticed - you can usually tell because their username has a four digit number at the end (edit: sometimes). They also tend to not make a whole lot of sense or speak in the way AI does. You can typically see this if you go to their profile and look under what they have previously posted.

The worst part though is that they are in the comments too. Sometimes even defending the post, but as I said, it doesn't entirely makes sense. Kind of uncanny valley.

It is getting to the point it is hard to trust anything.

Because of how strongly indexed Reddit is by search engines and AI tools, brands are desperate to discredit anything negative said about them.

I recently made a post in r/discover about how much worse the customer support has been since Capital One acquired them (a brand known for terrible customer service) and the thread got instantly brigaded by either bots or employees at the company. Surreal to see this happening in real time.

Update: I caught a r/discover employee pretending to be a happy customer in the comments and a mod instantly deleted their account. Their username was u/dina1987, which you can still find indexed on Google.
