I'm doing an experiment with AI posting on Reddit accounts to see if they would get banned. I bought 100 few-week-old accounts from some sketchy site for $0.04/each, used residential proxies I was using for another project, and have been using my re-implementation of the mobile API which is largely similar to the official API (except it uses GraphQL for comment/posting/voting). I use these prompts to come up with com…

I'd be very interested in seeing your results and findings written in a writeup in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The only datasets that will be useful to train LLMs in the future will be the ones generated before 2022. Any content generated after this date will be analogous to steel forged after 1945, it will be inevitably contaminated by the "radioactivity" of LLMs. The good news is that the availability of data to train more and more powerful models will soon be gone, the bad news is it will take the internet as we know it wi…

The good news is that this will mostly affect English, but most other languages are likely to keep being mostly generated by humans. This could even encourage people to use their own language more on the internet, which I think is a win for human cultural diversity. I don't know if there is any escape from this for native English speakers, though.

Most other languages (at least the ones I know) are already hugely polluted by useless content that was (badly) machine translated from English. Such spam sites are now a majority of search results for me when I use Duckduckgo or Google.

I imagine a world where the AIs will make it so that only very sociopathic humans remain in the Internet, and where finding any piece of truth will increasingly become difficult.

And it won't stop there. Imagine you are a writer. How will you be able to tell that you really wrote your book, that it came from your thoughts and feelings and that you lived the story before your readers did, and that it was not an AIs creation?

There are two things which are true in my mind:

* We can build AIs that are better than us (but why should we?!?!)

* With all our imperfections, we need to talk and feel for each other. AIs are not the only thing in the way, but they are a formidable roadblock.

This one is kind of hilarious: “Why are old people so obsessed with collecting things like spoons, thimbles, and shot glasses? It's like they want to have a tiny version of every object in the world.”

This falls right in the uncanny valley of relatability for me.

What is the objective of the experiment? If there was a good reason for it that would be fine, but without good reason it sounds more like:

"I'm doing an experiment with AI robot which roams around the parks and public places and throws garbage at random locations. I'm experimenting with coke cans, and burger wrappings, but in future i'm planing to introduce car tires and nuclear waste" :(

Please don't do that. If you are straight enough to actually explain your operation in this detail, it shouldn't take much extra thought to realize why you shouldn't run this on the public internet. Users of that forum expect human replies. If they wanted to have LLM replies, they could use one of the available interfaces themselves. You are only contributing to the noise on the net. Please stop, and find another hobby.

Good. Flood Reddit with idiotic comments to make the platform even worse.

How would a capcha to keep humans out work? "Please give a visual description of 6 dimensional space."

What is the 314th decimal in pi

For the prompt "What is the 314th decimal of pi?":

Bard returns 1. ChatGPT 3.5 returns 9. ChatGPT 4 returns 6. Bing returns 9. A Google search returns context from https://decimal.info/digits-of-pi/value-of-pi-to-314-decimal... which is either 1 or 3, depending on the definition.

Seems like there's no "right" answer.
