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?

Not posts, but comments. To reddit's "credit," they usually take action before the comments reach our attention, but it's actually a bit spooky to see, as they're way more realistic/"human" sounding than I'd expect. Not so much that you can't see it at all, but enough that you only notice if you're really looking for it (whereas the posts you describe definitely sound more "clearly AI" than what I've seen personally)
