Redditors around the world were scandalized last week after learning that a team of researchers released a swarm of AI-powered, human-impersonating bots on the “Change My View” subreddit. The large-scale experiment was designed to explore just how persuasive AI can be.
You have to enter a slur on occasion to maintain non-bot status.

Slightly amusing because most of the active users are perhaps AI powered bots now, run by Reddit.
If that is the case, then it seems to me that this is a repeat of the locking out of third parties, done by the api change was two years ago, but for now for those that use bots?

It most certainly won’t apply to their own bots.
