Reddit is setting boundaries on its quirky online culture.
And it makes sense. Nobody wants to deal with a bot masquerading as Carl, 27, from Ohio, spinning fake breakup tales with a killer punchline.
Here’s my view:
If you're using AI to mimic humans, that's not automation-it's catfishing. And let's be honest, it's not smart-just lazy.
I’m all for having bots around. But don’t try to fool me with a synthetic persona. Be transparent, contribute meaningfully, and move on.
Most users might not notice. But for those who do? That tiny breach of trust can unravel the entire community.
So sure, let bots participate. Let AI lend a hand. But when they start blending in too well?
Don’t be shocked when the internet reacts.
