#73Erm I have no idea either way, but posted by a new account and currently 20+ comments (big majority) all by totally new users too. Like, registered 3 days ago and a single post to their name.
My naive bayesian classifier says: suspect.
Further: many of the account names look like they are generated by the same process. Two words, camel-cased, plus a number. All the ones I randomly clicked are 3-4 days old and have a single post to their history (i.e. the one from this thread).
EDIT the bots just keep on coming! Every few mins. I suppose at the pace if ChatGPT generation pace.

#80This whole thread seems overrun with fresh sock puppet accounts reciting ChatGPT.
Yeah, but some of the posts are actually positive, so I don't know if this is their initial prompt went wrong, or someone is performing an experiment.
