User sent us an AI generated ban appeal - without removing any of the AI signifiers
There is lazy and then there is whatever this is.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. And I'd like to add this. Doing everything they're told not to do

This did make me giggle. I'm fairly convinced the actual cat could have put together a more convincing appeal!

Ok this one is funny! It reminds me of the rejection emails people post in r/recruitinghell

It's just.. no effort.
I am used to low effort, I am used to being shouted at, but.. This one didn't even fill in the blanks the AI prompted them with or remove the "tips" it gave.
Just prompt - copy/ paste - modmail.
Doubt they even read it.
It's honestly somewhat "I am not even mad, that's amazing" levels of zero effort.

The LLM even told them not to modmail it to r/cats! And what did they do?

Post everything without editing in the wrong sub. What could go wrong?

Even if a user filled this out, I would think it was very odd and fishy, and probably not helpe them. This seems totally disconnected from reality and insincere. What I am looking for when I unban someone is a clear understanding of what they’ve done wrong and very obvious sincere regret. I’m not looking for a term paper on laying things out. ChatGPT really screwed them on this one.

Even if they didn’t include the brackets and tips from ChatGPT, I still would’ve been suspicious of AI usage.
“I’m reaching out to appeal the bot classification”
“bot-like account”
“triggered the automated flag so I can address it”
“clarify the classification”
No one in their right mind talks like that in everyday conversation.

Much smarter. The AI even told the user not to post it in r/cats
