This was the weirdest thing I've seen today. These are only the ones I've spotted.

funnily enough, these bots are also replying to an obvious repost from another bot account. It's at the top right now! Beautiful

tipping points:

  1. consuming so much AI content has led to me able to see subtle patterns
  2. They're all saying "exactly" and saying the same thing"
  3. their usernames are similar, flower/nature related, two words, no profile pictures
  4. All of their profiles have the exact same format of comments with the agreement, summary
  5. and they all have porn on their profile. oh

Sometimes I end up mindlessly scrolling yt shorts (not logged in). From time to time I get to a short that is clearly generated. Like the weird ones, often with animals, with drops of water appearing out of nowhere on the fur or front paws somehow transforming into hind ones, etc. And there, in the comments, very often are whole chains of comments that seem to completely be missing the fact that it's generated. Saying things "how wise it is to do that", "how cute", etc. It could be older generations not noticing the details (I see how my parents not notice those things) but I think most of those are probably bots. LLMs exchanging their "awww"s under generated videos. "Dead internet theory"

    "Dead internet theory"

    At what point do we drop the theory part?

    YT has become really bad. I've seen entire threads of dozens of weirdly similar comments crop up within minutes, driving certain political narratives. It's awful, eerie. Like witnessing a world-wide invasion of rogue terminators from the future in real-time.
