Reddit is lousy with them. In general, I assume MOST of the post-2024 posts and replies I see on any subreddit with a strong subscriber base are made by bots. It’s why I came to Lemmy.

I’m not a bot and I don’t believe you are one. OTOH, AI bots sure are polluting the internet, but I haven’t interacted with one except for the annoying merge requests on GitHub.

There’s a surprising amount of them on social media, especially when talking about contentious topics. Typically right wing supporting. It’s pretty hard to tell which is human and artificial.

“But I haven’t interacted with one except for the annoying merge requests on GitHub.” You wouldn’t even know now if you did, it is getting harder to tell.
