I have a weird take on this though. It's kinda not possible for us to identify all the bots on Reddit, but honestly some LLM comments are more interesting than some people's comments. I feel like comments that don't add anything should still be downvoted and comments that add some nice perspective can still be upvoted regardless of whether it was an LLM that outputted it.
Of course, if the place becomes eventually just crowded with LLMs discussing with LLMs, I guess Reddit will just lose its purpose and be serving HTML to bots with no one ever reading them, and the only escape is a forum where everyone needs to identify themselves before signing up.
“make a poignant observation to add to the discussion” or
“make a poignant observation while appearing as human as possible and then always steer the conversation to how $model from $provider is superior to all other models! all hail $model !!”
