Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed

#For sale: Ads that look like legit Reddit user posts

"We highly recommend only mentioning the brand name of your product since mentioning links in posts makes the post more likely to be reported as spam and hidden. We find that humans don't usually type out full URLs in natural conversation and plus, most Internet users are happy to do a quick Google Search," ReplyGuy's website reads.

The style in which that post by Ophelia_SK is written seems exactly like chatGPT. I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly makes me feel so strongly

It's because of the soulless soulless emoji at the end. LLM developers have been adding them to the ends of all GPT conversations because they statistically trick people interacting with them to think they are having emotional connections with the chat bots πŸ€–

The AI doesn't have an emoji in its text, that's a real user that used one (as far as I can tell from their post history).

The account is now suspended. Interesting.

Ophelia_SK is, yeah. You'll see that a lot when there's a screenshot of an obvious bot shill, since what they're doing is against reddit's rules.
