But there were still bots making shit up back then. r/SubredditSimulator was pretty popular for awhile, and repost and astroturfing bots were a problem form decades on Reddit.

Existing AIs such as ChatGPT were trained in part on that data so obviously they've got ways to make it work. They filtered out some stuff, for example - the "glitch tokens" such as solidgoldmagikarp were evidence of that.
