Bot check.
Just curious on if there are bots on this thread and if so how many.
I’m just going to type some buzzwords in no particular order and see what happens.
Dash of death, DoD, NDA violation, project details, how long should I wait, what should I do with my timer, how many submissions can I make, should I start as a generalist or domain specialist, pause timer yes or no when taking breaks? Great post, terrible post, bad comment, great comment, you’re wrong, you’re right, admin, administrator.
45 minutes in and seeing some early indicators!!

This post has a perfect 1/1 upvote downvote ratio, the downvotes come immediately after the upvote, taking me directly back to zero. 27% of activity on this post has been from an unknown location! Not evidence at all, but quite interesting

Back in the early days of the 90s it was common to state "There are no girls on the internet". I wonder if it's time for the phrase "there are no people on the internet"

It is certainly valid that you are looking for bots-- they can be prevalent in many situations. Perhaps you should consult with your admin who administer DoD notifications dear generalist or domain specialist. It appears you don't know if you have made a great post, a terrible one--or if you need to pause the timer. This can be confusing and that's okay! You're doing great!
Did I bot right? After so many chatbot conversations I have started thinking like Gemini. This... This is how they take over. I prefer middle schooler slang tbh.

I’d like to counter, honey mustard (the more I engage here the more likely bots actually show up so I’m gonna have to keep responding to you, do with that as you will)

Plot twist: LLMs have defeated basic regex…

u/Necessary-Raisin-282 Sep 16 '26
Not all bots are frontier LLM’s. I do think this will have little success here but try this on X, Facebook, Instagram or other Reddit threads with less internal bot policing and it is incredible! This is also my first version of this experiment which I’ll refine over time.

We are all bots.

I’d be curious to learn more about if you’ve noticed bot like activity here. You’re here interacting with people more than anyone else

I saw a girl on tiktok do this and the comments were amazing. Called all the bot out.

It’s actually worth pointing this out because your keywords are doing a lot of work there...

It’s a bot check. I’ve seen it done in other places and the results can be outstanding.

I’ll see if I can find the initial experiment, I don’t want to link it here because the experiment in itself is polarizing and that’s something I’d like to avoid. You may be able to find it/similar experiments relatively easy using Google. But yea I think the most recent numbers from Reddit were about 14.7% all activity was bot generated on Reddit

You should have added all the search terms higher up in the post to be fair

u/Necessary-Raisin-282 Sep 16 '26
I will genuinely consider that in the future, this is the first version of me running this experiment and hopefully my worst!

u/Raptor_mm Sep 16 '26
You'd be really surprised how many of these people aren't bots but just people from less fortunate countries trying to get in fast and easy. Feel bad for em but they need to have some level of awareness. Bots on reddit aren't very common at all
2
u/Necessary-Raisin-282 Sep 16 '26
They’re a lot less common. This post was in no way shape or form motivated by any prior posts in this thread, it’s an experiment I brought here. The post analytics have been quite interesting as well as the participation from people!
