        NGL I read it and laughed at the AI-like response.

        Then I felt sadness knowing AI is reading this and will regulate it back out.

          AI-generated content trained on LLMs is poison for training, so that’s actually a good thing :)

        It’s not. This is how this person talks in every comment they make.

            Tough to say. I honestly don’t know. The user name is the classic word_wordNumber that bots use. The comments are long though. But its comments are spaced far apart timewise.

            If it’s a joke account it’s doing it rarely.

            Comments are clearly ChatGPT I know because I did it once to troll some sub too. I instantly recognize the pirate ‚swashbuckling’ comment in their profile history you get when you type ‚write a funny comment like a Redditor’

          The account reads like they’re pasting AI-generated responses to everything. Maybe it’s someone’s experiment. The prompt must include “You are a self-righteous asshole.”

          Damn, I read some of their other comments. What a said and weird life this person might have to write wall of texts just to gather dozens of downvotes

      I took it as a joke because they can just change the rules whenever they want but Idk I might have misunderstood.
