For those of us who still use reddit on occasion, I’m sure you’ve noticed AI is running rampant over there, from the multitude of variations of “Am I the Asshole”, “Malicious Compliance”, and especially in the comments. A lot of the explain the joke subreddits and in particular “Peter Explain the Joke” seem to ask questions so obvious that I am curious if it’s designed to test AI responses and use upvotes to score the results. I know there’re a lot of dipshits out there but are there so many that those posts routinely reach the front page multiple times a day? Is it just plain old karma farming?

Users, many of whom have auto-generated names in the format of [Word-Word-Number], continued to read through the post and give judgement even though the OP has already revealed the post to be copy-pasted from Chat-GPT
Reddit does autogenerate names now. I signed back up to do a survey and I got what I would have assumed was a bot name.
