    Not surprising they’ve been social marketing with corporate accounts and purchased accounts for years because the know it’s effective.

    This is just the natural evolution of that.

      Yeah this is one instance where I don’t care that the human bots are being replaced with AI bots. I mean, it’s even worse than before, but those “workers” don’t have my support here.

    I’m not a regular there any more, but I feel like there’s more “natural” spam posts nowadays. They’re not natural enough that they haven’t prompted me to check the account’s post history (all mention product x, of course).

    Edit: e.g. this one

    If this is an example of the AI, it’s not very good.

      LLMs don’t generate that sort of templated response for conversation (although they do for software code).

      It’s more likely a traditional ad, using some classical algorithms perhaps.
