      I’m not sure there’s any way to tell.

      The bots can pass a turing test, now.

      I figure at some point it’ll just be one random dude talking to bot shadows of themself.

      It’s an ugly mix of bots, foriegn influence campaign supported keyboard warriors, and poor humans caught in the middle of it

    I made a sub that got popular (in its niche). Good people. Little drama. Productive everything. For like 4 years. Then suddenly it’s dying. Posts have dropped to 5% prior. I see no leeching competitors. I’m thinking maybe something deep is happening to reddit. Like organ failure. Or brain parasite.

        It’s generative art. That’s the subject. A population of good prometheuses. /r/generative
