Reddit is a powerful place where people talk about all kinds of things and search for answers to their endless questions. But are you sure the person you’re talking to is human?
AI’s presence has been growing on the platform recently with services like ReplyGuy trying to infiltrate forums and sell all kinds of products to users. As spotted by 404 Media, ReplyGuy “naturally mentions your product in conversations” by replying to someone else’s posts on various subreddits.
If you decide to use their services, all you need to do is add your business name and a link. The bot then suggests keywords that “help the bot know what types of subreddits and tweets to search for and when to respond.”
Although its creator Alexander Belogubov claims that ReplyGuy enters conversations naturally, some examples shown on his website might raise eyebrows – it’s like with ChatGPT, the operation is a bit off, as if the AI is trying too hard to blend in to humans using sophisticated methods. strange structures and entrances sometimes.
