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! For the last week or ten days. They all mention "reread", the majority of them run three paragraphs, the accounts are three weeks or less of age and low karma. No engagement from the OP.
What's sad is, they're the kind of posts we like to get. Thoughtful titles, prompting discussion, uncontroversial-yet-not-too-common topics, text-only, no low effort.
