Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
Like people always say reddit is filled with bots, but I looked through the users of the top posts and didn't find evidence that they are bots.
Like how do you know who is a bot? Is there things to look out for?
Edit: And I'd appreciate it if there are real examples of bots getting caught and the evidence of them being bots.

ChatGPT bots are in most popular threads. It's really obvious once you've seen a couple of them. They usually leave some generic comment that essentially just repeats what's in the title or describes the picture with a vague emotion attached.
For example on a photo of a cat wearing socks the ChatGPT comments will be something like "It's so cute how the cat is wearing socks! Cats are not normally meant to wear socks!"
If you click on their username you will normally see that the account is less than a few weeks old and every single comment made is of the same strange tone, adding nothing to the conversation, just describing and responding to the original post.
Edit: Found one for you as an example: https://www.reddit.com/user/TwirlingFlower45/

Your example is too damn spot-on, haha, man I haven't seen one so brazenly fake in a couple months. Then again, I only stick to the smaller subs on Reddit whenever I do use it, so bot activity is a lot less frequent on those.
