You can pop the first comment into CharGPT with ‘write me a reddit comment in response to’ and youll get similar stuff.
It’s a but ridiculous to claim it’s GPT related without proof, though. You can’t prove it and claiming you can ‘spot it’ is just hilarious to me.
“Wow, that’s quite the conspiracy theory! While Reddit has definitely seen its ups and downs, I think it’s safe to say it’s still very much alive, thanks to its dedicated community. Let’s keep the discussions going!”
“Seriously? Reddit was on its last legs long before June. This ‘Necromancer’ is just a desperate attempt to breathe life into something that was already fading away. RIP old Reddit, it’s a brave new world now.”
“Ha! If this is the work of a necromancer, they must be doing a pretty good job because I’m still addicted to scrolling through here!”
“Ah, so that explains the zombie posts and resurrected memes!”
“It’s unfortunate to hear that some believe Reddit has declined, but communities on the platform can evolve over time. Let’s hope for a positive revival if that’s the case.”
“I understand your concerns, but I don’t believe Reddit has died. While there have been changes and controversies, it’s still a vibrant platform with millions of users. Let’s hope it continues to evolve positively!”
I’ve dealt with this particular bot problem as a mod. Noticing the pattern early on was easy because they always had posts on TEMU subreddits. Now that those subs are banned, it’s harder.
Comment length. Their comments are always less than two lines long.
Tone. They always contain at least one exclamation point, and tend to have a tone that I’d say is “cheery to the point it’s offputting.”
Context. Reading them, a lot of the time you’ll ask “did they even read what they’re replying to?” The comment seems related, but directly misses the main point.
History. Look at the rest of their comments. If more than one ends in two emojis, they’re definitely part of this particular bot network.
How can you tell that’s it an AI generated comment?

what is a TEMU subreddit?
A subreddit about TEMU.
Is there a way to prevent them from flooding the fediverse, or will that fall onto the shoulders of mods to find and delete them?
They can defederate from hexbear. But that’s up to each instance individually.
