Lemmy seems to have an LLM issue (self.fediverse)

or something of the sort. It's the only explanation I've got...

One or two days old accounts with a single post related to something that will generate replies for sure (AMA has a lot of them, like "I'm a Romanian girl that has lived most of my life secluded, ama" or something or the sort...) and both the post and account are deleted 24h later.

Latest suspicious one is about the guy who is short with long feet, second time it's posted by the same account who deleted the original but has no other comment history in-between.

One week ago on the shit post community, Dad ranking Instagram screenshot from "op's kid school", called it in the discussion, OP replied it was nothing of the sort, account and post are now deleted...

I'm not sure if that's LLMs. I long suspected people to copy popular Reddit posts/stories here to gain attention. I've searched for some and they don't all seem to be dumped here from other places, so it has to be something else. But so far I didn't use any LLM detector service to find out if people made them up on their own or used ChatGPT... We might want to do that to gain some more insight.

But it's very annoying. I've unsubscribed from asklemmy and several other popular communities, because of this.

Last time i checked so called LLM detectors were completely useless.

I was recently made aware of Binoculars and it seemed to have a better than average accuracy. At least with the few texts I fed in to test it. But you're right. Generally speaking and for most use-cases, they're all next to useless.
