    This is known, the amount of aita, relationship advice stuff and astro turfing on reddit is insane. My rule of browsing reddit is you never take any of it seriously.

      Yeah, it took me quite a while, but I finally realized that practically none of the posts in the advice subs are real. Once I did, anytime I happened to see one I couldn’t help but think, “Dear Penthouse, I never thought I’d be writing to you, but last week…”

      I joined r/aiaita right before the reddit implosion. The page was very transparent about every post being AI generated and the writing style usually had a very obvious “tell”, but it was still surprising to realize just how effortlessly you can generate a stupid post and rack up silly points for it.

        Especially if somebody were a bit clever and went back to edit the AI content to remove any obvious hiccups before posting. Just like the more clever artists that will touch up AI art to make it seem more genuine.
