Genuine question: how can you tell it’s a bot? I’ve never able to pick out a bot from an actual human.

This model always replies to one of the highest upvoted comments in the thread with a generic comment that's usually just rephrasing the comment it relplied to. It also almost never punctuates for some reason.

They never, ever reply to any comments made in reply to theirs, which is highly unusual for a human.

Also, if you've spent any time interacting with gpt you begin to recognize it's cadence. "This noun is doing verb (using popular slang) and I'm here for it" type of shit. You can spot them a mile away after awhile.

Lastly, like someone else said, they're usually new accounts, and they use under-moderated subs like this to gain karma and legitimacy before moving on to other subs that have karma thresholds. That said, there's a thriving market for "aged accounts", so sometimes it'll be 5+ years old, but all the previous comments have been scrubbed.
