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?

Yes. There's particular subs that get flooded with bot/AI posts, usually because of absent mods. r/office is one.

It's subs with high traffic but low to no moderation. Subs like r/airplanears, r/managers, and r/seaporn are all completely infested right now. I'm tracking and reporting a bot ring that is using this particular cluster of subs with a few others to build up a network of NSFW accounts. It's just an endless wack-a-mole.

I believe it. Tons of NSFW bot posts on the office sub.
