It’s morbidly amusing that spammers all use the same service, the same way (the cheapest OpenAI API, I guess?)
And a silver lining. I could finetune a dirt cheap open model as a SEO/Engagement bot with very different styles, but ‘spammer culture’ seems to mass around the most popular denomenators when they find one.
In other words, its fortunate the spambots are such junk when they could easily not be, for much less money per post.

The ones you notice are overpriced junk. I’m convinced that this is on purpose, to make us less suspicious of the more convincing bots

I dunno if it’s on purpose, but you make a good point.

I don’t understand the purpose of these bot comments? I see them a lot of videos within minutes of them being posted.

One reason might be to game the YouTube algorithm. Rumor has it that a video with more interaction gets boosted. Though I don’t believe that in this instance, since I respect the creator.
Another reason might be to make the commenting accounts themselves look real. Though I can’t imagine for what purpose.

Usually it’s a hot girl as the PFP, and their profile will have a chain of links that takes you to some sort of scam page or an onlyfans or something

I love how the bot content has the same comma splice like the dumbest of humans.

I’m using some AI to document some of my old scripts.
uploads script:
Prompt: Look at this script and prepare documentation in Confluence-compliant markdown that I can copy and paste. The documentation should be easy enough that someone unfamiliar with the subject can read and understand it, but should also be detailed enough not to miss any features. Add a summary, details, and a section on how to verify that the script ran correctly. Follow up with a section on possible bugs or improvements. No personality, no jokes, no puns. Professional text, just a plain old RTFM. And for the fucking love of god, no emoji, no EM dashes, no smart quotes or so help me god I’ll find out where you’re running and disconnect your GPU’s with an axe.
Did I mention no emoji?

Did you not know you can artificially bump your content visibility with bots? Everyone’s doing it, man! Give the people what they want, ammirite?! Sorry not sorry, this is mostly sarcasm, but also the truth.
