100%.

So far (thankfully) I've noticed this stuff get voted down on social media but it is blowing my mind people think pasting in a ChatGPT response is productive.

I've seen people on reddit say stuff like "I don't know but here's what ChatGPT said." Or worse, presenting ChatGPT copy-paste as their own. Its funny because you can tell, the text reads like an HR person wrote it.

I've noticed the opposite actually, clearly ChatGPT written posts on Reddit that get a ton of upvotes. I'm especially noticing it on niche subreddits.

The ones that make me furious are on some of the mental health subreddits. People are asking for genuine support from other people, but are getting AI slop instead. If someone needs support from an AI (which I've found can actually help), they can go use it themselves.

You should have a lot less confidence in your ability to discern what's AI generated content, honestly. Especially in such contexts where the humans will likely be writing very non-offensive in order to not-trigger the OP.

I think some of that is the gamification of social media. "I have 1200 posts and you only have 500" kind of stuff. It's much easier to win the volume game when you aren't actually writing them. This is just a more advanced version of people who just post "I agree" or "I don't know anything about this, but...[post something just to post something]".

It's particularly funny/annoying when they're convinced that the fact they got it from the "AI" makes it more likely to be correct than other commenters who actually know what the heck they're talking about.

It makes me wonder how shallow a person's knowledge of all areas must be that they could use an LLM for more than a little while without encountering something where it is flagrantly wrong yet continued with its same tone of absolute confidence and authority. ... but it's mostly just a particularly aggressive form of Gell-Mann amnesia.
