If you ever "check in" on reddit, you might have noticed lots of stupid questions. EX: Is this a Tuxedo Cat?

Most of us have accepted the fact that bots are roaming the internet, trying to sway public opinion. No place more obvious than Reddit.

For a while I've been thinking that the user base on reddit must be getting younger. Or at least more infantile. Until it dawned on me this morning! What's keeping bots/AI in the comment section? It's actually more likely AI posting.

Reddit is human bait for AI development.

I cannot forget this idea. The tuxedo cat question was entitled " Is this a Tuxedo Cat? Or is it too white" Included was a pic of a white cat with black spots, obviously not a tux.

Do you agree that reddit is human bait? If so, to what extent? As we get closer to the next election cycle, what do you think we can to to keep AI out of our own backyard?

Giant thank you to for his impressive bot wrangling!

i've noticed that threads like the above will start in their bot/ai subs where its all bots creating threads and comments. someone will then start the thread in its relevant sub, like ive noticed this happening with relationship type bot generated threads.

in 2016 the bots on reddit and twitter were around 80% of all accounts and recently Elon has stated twitter is at 90% bot accounts. you can assume reddit is the same if not more. Rush Limbaugh discussed the numbers on his show back in 2016 which got me to look into it then.

before that [r] eddit used to joke about doing what youre asking. they wanted to create a new type of shadow ban were you only interacted with bots. with the numbers being over 80% thats exactly what youre doing.

Wow, I had no idea subs like that exist!

After reading the green text post, it dawned on me that green text is perfect for bots. I wouldnt be surprised if bots helped popularize the practice.

The internet has an infestation.
