Has anyone else noticed that half the comments and posts here are made by users with little-to-no post history, and are a couple months old at best?
And usually have an obvious, nonsensical username that's just 2 random unrelated words with dashes in between, followed by a random 2 to 4 digit string of numbers?
And that these posts manage to almost instantly have tens to hundreds of upvotes despite literally every commenter calling them out for posting AI slop or whatever?
And before you say it, yes I'm fully aware of how crackpot this sounds.
