Well, about that...: https://web.archive.org/web/20230607173747/https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13p889x/reddit_admins_were_just_caught_using_bots_or_fake/
Wow ok I see, whenever I think they can‘t go lower they get out the Limbo skills. So not even foreign language is safe from bot influence by the admins.
If they plug a LLM like ChatGPT into that to make it less clunky, people wouldn’t be able to tell either, there is already plenty of sceptics on bots even when they are being kinda obvious.
Not that we‘re entirely safe either, but I‘d hope here at least some of the devs and admins would try and stop that instead using it themselves..
Unfortunately they seem to have already been doing that as well. There was a thread in r/programming before the blackout where people were commenting about the number of other comments that were in opposition to the blackout. The whole thread was filled with people finding that most of them were LLM bots:

What the fuck you guys are blowing my mind with all these links, we‘re already much further along in this than I thought possible. Is anyone or anything even real anymore? Are you a LLM? Say something offensive! (Jk don‘t wanna get you banned)
You know, the funny thing is that might actually work! There are things that LLMs are made to censor that real humans would still be be able to talk about. Granted, most those things would probably get us in trouble or put on a list, so I'm not sure how feasible that would be Maybe a decent idea would be if we could all pick a 'safe-word' out of those things that could be used to tell humans from bots.
This works until they use bots trained on the safe word / phrase
Yeah it‘s crazy to think about, the only such thing I can think of is some "eat the rich" type of stuff, cause that also goes against their owners so they wouldn‘t be able to say it probably.
Well, anything is possible, they could well program them to do anything and curse like sailors, I just saw on Twitch is now a livestream of AI Trump vs. AI Biden, they insult the chat and each other in more ways than I’d ever think of.
