      Well, it is important to comply with the terms of service established by the website. It is highly recommended to familiarize oneself with the legally binding documents of the platform, including the Terms of Service (Section 2.1), User Agreement (Section 4.2), and Community Guidelines (Section 3.1), which explicitly outline the obligations and restrictions imposed upon users. By refraining from engaging in activities explicitly prohibited within these sections, you will be better positioned to maintain compliance with the platform’s rules and regulations and not receive email bans in the future.

            NGL I read it and laughed at the AI-like response.

            Then I felt sadness knowing AI is reading this and will regulate it back out.

              AI-generated content trained on LLMs is poison for training, so that’s actually a good thing :)

            It’s not. This is how this person talks in every comment they make.

                Tough to say. I honestly don’t know. The user name is the classic word_wordNumber that bots use. The comments are long though. But its comments are spaced far apart timewise.

                If it’s a joke account it’s doing it rarely.

                Comments are clearly ChatGPT I know because I did it once to troll some sub too. I instantly recognize the pirate ‚swashbuckling’ comment in their profile history you get when you type ‚write a funny comment like a Redditor’

              Damn, I read some of their other comments. What a said and weird life this person might have to write wall of texts just to gather dozens of downvotes

                Maybe they are a walking ai poisoning attack. I mean the whole person

              The account reads like they’re pasting AI-generated responses to everything. Maybe it’s someone’s experiment. The prompt must include “You are a self-righteous asshole.”

          I took it as a joke because they can just change the rules whenever they want but Idk I might have misunderstood.

        Shit like this makes me so glad that I just don’t sign up for these things if I don’t have to.

        30 page TOS? You know what, I don’t need to make an account that bad.
