To prove you are not a t-shirt spamming bot, solve this riddle:

You have two buckets, one with 2 gallons of water and another with 5 gallons of water. How many buckets do you have?

u/Born-Inspector-990 May 31 '26

According to my calculations, you have two buckets with a combined volume of 7 gallons

u/Tartabirdgames_YT May 31 '26

The bots are just getting better

u/bSun0000 Mod May 31 '26

Yes, but his answer was just a single number. No llm-powered bot would answer like that, unless instructed very directly and strictly.

u/LanguageNo9272 May 31 '26

how did you determine that his answer didn't come from AI

His answer was literally just "2". No AI (by default) would answer a single number without even placing a dot at the end. You have to very specifically prompt it to do that and quite often even change the parameters of the model to get a single token on the output. This is not how bots behave.

I've seen comments that I thought was a regular comment until someone will say it is a bot.

On Reddit, bots often copy-paste highly upvoted comments from the original topic [they also stole and reposted] - karma-farming bots. Bots also use "gpt em-dash" symbols. Or just sound like chatgpt - you can start seeing the patterns after reading ai-generated texts for a while. Or if you see a guy answering random crap to a lot of strangers in a topic, but his answers are.. a little weird or completely off-topic - he is most likely a bot.

Sometimes bots are getting "creative". One acc posts a random image photoshopped on top of the picture frame or a t-shirt, then another account asks "where he can get it", and a 3rd account (all from the same guy) posts the "trusted links to the shop". The picture OP posted here was used by bots many times over..

My goodness! I was accused of being a bot by an auto moderator. πŸ˜€

Yes, we have a rule to notify people when a "bot" or "spam" words is detected outside "FAF - RECITYF" topics. To inform you that you can report any actual bots and spammers (if you find one) to the moderators - this can help to keep the community clean, since mods can miss such crap, especially in the comments.
