This AI slop just seems to be a reddit greatest hits as performed by shiny new AI slop bot pretending to be a person to generate engagement.
Are you really against engagement though? Lemmy could benefit from it.
It’s generating engagement to astroturf as a basis of using you and manipulating you and the community here. Lemmy will not benefit from it. Yes, I’m against it. I’ve seen what that kind of influence has on an online community.
But is this the kind of engagement we want here? If this keeps up, it’ll be just like Reddit, every post and every reply will just have no substance

Second, we should probably address it on a case by case basis. This one is benign.
First, reddit no longer has any good content, communities, or real engagement specifically because of manipulation like this.
Second, it is absolutely not benign.
