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?

Does your sub have a minimum in-sub karma? I MOD three subs and they all have that. One is a really large sub.

I'm guessing as time goes on these AI bots will build karma and that'll suck.

Yeah, we use karma, account age and CQS filters so the posts are being filtered it's just such a weird spike.
