What makes you so sure half this comment section isn’t AI generated traffic to begin with?



Well, it's possible to detect patterns and characteristics in the language used in the comments that can provide clues about their origin...

Here's some indicators that a comment may have been generated by an AI system:

  * Repeating phrases or sentences
  * Using generic language that could apply to any topic
  * Lack of coherence or logical flow
  * Poor grammar, or syntax errors
  * Overuse of technical, or specialized vocabulary
I mean, these indicators aren't foolproof... and humans can also exhibit some of these characteristics. It's tough to be sure whether or not a comment is generated by an AI system or not...
