      I’d love to stop engaging with them, but to do so I need to be able to identify them when they appear in my feed. Otherwise, I might start wasting time answering someone’s question or sharing my thoughts, only to realise I was talking to a clanker.

      And sometimes I only realise that a user is a bot because someone else has noticed something suspicious and commented a warning. So, should I also comment when an account is obviously a secret bot? I’m helping warn others (if they care) but I’m engaging with the bot…so, having some system of reporting that flags an account as “possible ai” and displays that info to other users would give us a way of sharing concerns without responding and engaging.

        Well let me give you a tip then for future reference. When they copy and paste post titles from reddit posts thats usually a sign. You know like this post we are in right now.

          Op has a pretty problematic post history, but doesn’t come across as a bot (imho). Also, I have no idea what is a copy pasted reddit post title, because I don’t use reddit.

            Cmon man. Look at the tells. Constant unrelated posts to this community. The obvious copy paste titles (even says sub). The nonsensical comments. It’s all there.
