Wow. That's really fucking stupid.
I don't think so. Yeah the researchers broke the rules of the subreddit but it's not like every other company that uses AI for advertising, promotional purposes, propaganda, and misinformation will adhere to those rules.
The mods and community should not assume that just because the rules say no AI does not mean that people won't use it for nefarious purposes. While this study doesn't really add anything new we didn't already know or assume, it does highlight how we should be vigilant and cautious about what we see on the Internet.
Reread the rule @[email protected] listed; it's not a rule against posting AI, it's a rule against accusing people of posting AI, the very thing they were trying to prompt people to do.
So, if nobody accuses them, is it because nobody noticed, or is it because nobody wanted to break the no-accusing rule? It's impossible to tell, which makes the results of the study worthless.
And even if they did accuse, mods would have removed the comments.
Ah well it would appear I should have read the original comment with a little more attention
