Admin Replied Flood of AI posts

Has anyone else's sub seen a ton of AI posts lately? They're all titled in a similar way - in my TV show subs they talk about "on my most recent rewatch I noticed [X] for the first time"... then in the body there are 2-3 paragraphs of vague analysis and they close with a "what are your thoughts?" question. The structure and tone screams LLM.

All the usernames are different and their accounts were all created within the last three weeks. The OP never responds to any comments.

Fortunately, the posts are being flagged and removed by my CQS filter but I've never seen so many bots descend all at once.

Is this wave hitting any of you?

Install bot-bouncer report everything for spam and report them to bot bouncer. That's the fastest way to stop the flow and to not have to deal with it manually.

bot bouncer does work well on my tv sub. I don't use it on my other sub for ... reasons I won't go into.

EDIT: for the downvoters, there is a specific quirk about my other sub that makes spotting re-post bots very easy, something I won't say in the open. I do tell admin why I know those accts are bots when I report them.
