askchapo

Sorta relatedly, I remember back before AI the most common reddit bots would just post a top comment from the same askreddit thread or a similar one. It's a weird feeling to think that everyone seems to more or less have forgotten about this as the main way to do account farming for a while. The focus on AI modifying the response makes no sense to me. The 'content' literally doesn't matter so why do the more computationally expensive thing? There were plenty of methods that people used to reword and avoid bans too. Like checking the thread for the same text and picking a different comment, having a table of interchangeable common words, etc, etc. The AI methods seem to be literally worse than just a copy-paste fuzzy matching (or markov chain etc etc).
