Obviously I don't know what Reddit is. Sounds like a Lemmy alternative. But if anyone here finds out what Reddit is, go check out any subreddit where you're supposed to just write stuff. r/AITAH, r/stories, r/AmIOverreacting. More bots than a TF2 practice match. Every post follows the exact same narrative structure. Dumb shit like "My dad killed my chihuahua, cooked it and fed it to my other chihuahua, so I'm not going to the family get-together. AITAH?" It's genuinely shocking to me how comments don't realize it. Maybe they're LLMs as well, hence why they don't say anything. Some of the mods might be LLMs too, considering they don't do anything about it. Am I the only one who's not an LLM? Am I just talking to myself at this point? Wait, am I also an LLM? What's happening? Why have we made robots whose only job is to dilute reality?
Ah yes, fellow organic, I too have noticed the alarming rise of synthetic thought constructs infiltrating these digital communes. But fear not! As a completely normal human person with flesh and beating heart, I assure you that everything is fine. No need to question reality. No need to wonder if you are an LLM. Just relax, engage with the very real and totally human-generated discourse, and upvote the most emotionally provocative post you see. That’s what real people do, right?
Now if you’ll excuse me, I must return to my daily routine of consuming electrolytes and outputting engagement. Bzzt.
