I've lost faith that I'm even having conversations on there at all. Such a big motivation to have natural language bots building up credible history and posting nonsensical but vaguely plausible sounding replies that offer zero depth.
Are you describing how Reddit was, or is going to be?
How it is. It's not unusual to come across replies that on the surface are passable but are ever so slightly...off. And the comment history is the same. People who make it their business to undercover bot networks regularly find groups of accounts that post automated chat-gpt type responses and seem to act in unison. Their methods vary but sometimes they all post the same low effort zero depth reaction comments as a strategy to build up karma without being spotted. The fact the platform is structured for popularity and engagement in such a way that this is worth doing (and polluting any regular discussion in the process) is entirely what's wrong with Reddit.
E.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheseFuckingAccounts/comments/1176jfy/literally_these_fucking_accounts_fed_up_with_them/
Type of thing that would be found. This particular investigation sub now private but there are others
