Please don't do that. If you are straight enough to actually explain your operation in this detail, it shouldn't take much extra thought to realize why you shouldn't run this on the public internet. Users of that forum expect human replies. If they wanted to have LLM replies, they could use one of the available interfaces themselves. You are only contributing to the noise on the net. Please stop, and find another hobby.

Dude, one guy helps explain the issue, shows how easy it is, and you think he is the risk? If something is so easy, how do think a hundred others aren't doing it, why criticize the one guy pointing it out.

[JohnFen]

He's not a messenger, he's actually doing the bad thing he's talking about. I won't criticize him for pointing it out, but he fully deserves criticism for adding to the problem.

Why do you think you are replying to a human? :)

[v3ss0n]

Why you are gating and experiment?

[lynx23]

Because it is unsolicited LLM spam, not an "experiment". The "experiment" seems to be if they get caught doing it, or not.

[FrustratedMonky]

Yes, that was explicit, the experiment was to see if it would be caught. That was the test. Did you read it?

[hnbad]

This isn't an experiment any more than the fad of YouTubers doing "pranks" as "social experiments".

[FrustratedMonky]

He had an idea, he wrote a test, he ran it, he provided results. What are you on about?

[concordDance]

What hypothesis are they testing?

There are plenty of bots on reddit. People are clearly not expecting only human replies.

Even if they were expecting only human replies, it's because humans is all that was available before. By this logic, there wouldn't be any acceptable place to introduce the first AI, because no one expected it.

I think what people expect and what people are fine with are two separate things.

And no, you can't always use the LLM interface yourself. Those are gated in different, stricter ways than reddit is.

There are plenty art projects which take human expression and mirror it, or transform it in a mechanical way. Are those also only contributing noise? Should those artists find another hobby?

Those people are not trying to deceive anyone. This guy was.
