Question

AI is more precise in many things – text + image + video. However, some of the discussions and comments are so obvious (even when I pre-clicked on LinkedIn). 😀 "Passionate Content Writer and Marketing Specialist with [X] years of experience..." – okay, we understand when we read that "[X]" There are still signs you can recognise them: – Their photos look perfect and the same time like from a video game – They suddenly contribute many comments at the same time – Their accounts on social media are inactive – They write meaningless comments – just as if they reshape your thought – They get to the top from nowhere (there is no sequence here) – No management of comments What else can you recognise and how do you filter them out?

Yes, I've realized that. At first, I didn't notice it, and I would comment on their posts, but never got a response. Over time, I stopped interacting with them, even though they were always at the top of the community. I even started getting annoyed seeing their profile pictures...

@busmark_w_nika could be typo can’t be a sign of a bot. I made so many times and sometimes I don’t even bother to edit and correct them. Well, that does nit make me a bot.

Sometimes we do as human grammatical mistakes in order to sound warmer and more direct. AI usually don't, even if I have no doubt that wisely prompted the result might be difficult to recognize.

@busmark_w_nika It’s so nice to hear that you have meaningful friendships here. This encourages me to engage more with the PH community.😄

James Cooper · Answer

I also noticed this situation! I saw several almost identical comments under the same discussions last Friday. That’s ridiculous.

@focusaur For that reason I am so happy that I made friends even before so I am more certain about some things, e.g. who is real :)

@busmark_w_nika true

I already found like about 10 or more accounts start a discussion with me, then another one writes the same discussion in the comments so i'm really curious about that i thought it's AI but the pic is human but you now Confirm my thoughts Should i report them ?

MaryFord · Answer

Yeah, I've noticed those too. It's weird how they get so many upvotes but hardly any comments. Seems like they're just buying fake engagement to look popular. Real discussions usually have more back-and-forth. It's a shame because it messes with the genuine content's visibility.

Yeah, I've noticed those too. It's pretty obvious when you see posts with tons of upvotes but hardly any engagement. These bots are just inflating numbers to look popular. Real communities have active discussions, not just silent upvotes. It's annoying but sadly common nowadays.

@sidraarifali mistakes can be/cannot be a part of that bot game. As I mentioned in this comment before.

Yeah, I've noticed those too. It's pretty obvious when you see posts with tons of upvotes but hardly any comments. These bots are just padding their numbers to look more popular. Real communities engage in conversations, not just mindless upvoting. It's a shame, but easy to spot once you know what to look for.

@elara_thorn So you know then what I am talking about :)

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

@nicolas_garcin some people can create a prompt where they require this particular thing like – create in the answer at least one typo or grammar mistake.

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

@focusaur definitely! :D it also happens outside of PH on other social media platforms :)
