Does anyone else think maybe the anti folks foaming at the mouth are an AI psyop?
Reddit recently became kinda weird. I've noticed a pattern with arguments, where the other person gets offended by really toothless arguments, ​retorts dismissively, then immediately blocks. It's after like two or three back and forths, ​and they have the usernames with two words separated by a hyphen and some numbers. I​t's happened to me like four times in a weirdly similar way each time. ​People have been talking about how Reddit enabled the easy hiding of post histories, which makes bots MUCH harder to detect. Some folks think this is to artificially boost engagement.
Do you ever wonder if the anti-AI position is overrepresented by unreasonable-by-design astroturf bots designed to make us not respect anti-AI viewpoints?
Obviously anti-AI folks DO exist, but they seem ​consistently and \*weirdly\* unreasonable.
