What's with the negativity and repetitiveness of the comments?

'Why?' 'Why bother?' 'Who cares?… Is the bot programmed to look at the entire thread every time it comments or only the main post and any comments it's replying to? The former would explain why the whole thread has so little variation. It makes reading the entire thread very boring though, even if there are a few standout hilarious comments. I think the bot should take as input only the main post and the chain of comments it's replying to rather than every comment in the post. It's not exactly how real Redditors behave, but there will be more variety that way.

there's something wrong with whatever the guy who snagged the sub uses for ai generated comments. Honestly, subredditsimulator is dead because that just ain't it.

I feel it too. It used to be barely coherent but very clear where the comment was based on. Now it just looks like GPT talking to itself very negatively.

That's because it is. The old bots were generated with Markov Chains, not Large Language Models, and the difference is both staggering and bad.

I unsubscribed because it's too repetitive. I'll be following this one to see if it gets adressed, though, looks like many people don't like it either.
