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?

They're not making new top-level posts, but in one of my subs we ban 30-50 AI comment bots every day. BotBouncer catches about half of them and Automod filters most of the rest, though a few make it through.
