With technology like this, it’s only a matter of time before big players start using it all over the internet, whether for commerce, propaganda, or pushing their agenda. So it’s interesting to observe an amateur trying it right now and sharing their findings. If anything, it might give us a glimpse of what the future holds.

Do you generate replies in a custom way every time, adjusting the prompt and supervising the result, or do you have fully-automatic system? If you do use any sort of manual intervention on per post basis, whatever you’re doing is not going to work as a bot.

With human post-processing it’s definitely more complicated. Bots usually post fully automatic content, without human supervision and editing.

Imo their style of writing is very noticeable. You can obcure that by prompting LLM to deliberately change that, but I think it’s still often noticeable, not only specific wordings, but higher-level structure of replies as well. At least, that’s always been the case for me with ChatGPT. Don’t have much experience with other models.

What I would expect to happen is: their posts quickly start getting many downvotes and comments saying they sound like an AI bot. This, in turn, will make it easy for others to notice and block them individually. Other than that, I’ve never heard of automated solutions to detect LLM posting.
