i think yesterday i saw comments on some cbs youtube videos, that catched my eyes, for the first time. i mean, they are obviously fake. today again, on different videos, but always the same sentiment: “great post! keep going! emoji, emoji”
but why? i’d understand hate comments, but that?
am i going nuts?

“Subtle” thirst trap. Trying to get people to click on the profile which will have a link to whatever spam they’re peddling.
Hopping in here to clarify for OP that these aren’t AI. They’re just spam bots. Their scripts are pre-generated and may at most contain a vague reference to specifics of the video. They are not unique to CBS videos in any way. Many YouTube channels curate spam out of their comments but that process is time-consuming and/or leads to accidental censorship of unproblematic comments.
Same, same.
But different…
But still same.l
I think what they’re getting at is this is clearly a simple script doing template generation: (1) statement of praise (2) statement of encouragement/thanks (3) a couple emoji. The sentences that are used to populate the templates might be LLM-generated, but these aren’t state-of-the-art neural network "AI"s.
Some people just never experienced early AIM chatbots…
was about to say, no one could be thaat stupid.
but then i remembered president muskrat…
