This was the weirdest thing I’ve seen today. These are only the ones I’ve spotted.
funnily enough, these bots are also replying to an obvious repost from another bot account. It’s at the top right now! Beautiful

tipping points:
- consuming so much AI content has led to me able to see subtle patterns
- They’re all saying “exactly” and saying the same thing"
- their usernames are similar, flower/nature related, two words, no profile pictures
- All of their profiles have the exact same format of comments with the agreement, summary
- and they all have porn on their profile. oh

That’s a good way to describe it, too. Yeah. Amy Shira Teitel had this video the other day about how reading skills are dropping massively and how it links into short-form video and short-form entertainment in general.
And it made me realize: I like cozy reading every so often. Sure. Currently reading the third Legends&Lattes book, and it’s fantastic as are the first two. But I could not do that all the time. It’s too lightweight in prose and content for that.
Similar thing with AI text, and in particular in long-form AI-generated text. It’s not text meant to keep you engaged while reading it, just not actively disengage you.
