All it does is respond to the title. sometimes that works out for it…sometimes its horrible. Just a tiny bit down, check the old school cool. down in the comment graveyard is another number name one doing the exact same thing.

Reddit bots comments do not always have to make sense. The bots likely quickly delete downvoted comments to stop the karma bleed and rely on only a few of them be upvoted to get that sweet sweet karma.
This was how the previous generation of Reddit bots - comment thieves - worked.
I wonder if there are already hybrids that steal and rephrase other comments using GenAI instead of just responding to the post title?
Have to be. There were rephrase bots before LLMs even, they just changed a few key words like “argument” would become “fight”.
Whoever made them would definitely think of this.
I chased comment thieves with a script that called them out for a while, so I noticed those everywhere and started learning their behaviour patterns.
Unlike comment thieving bots, rephrasing bots could be difficult/expensive to detect. But at least if they use GenAI they are also expensive to run. (If they use a simple substitution, they are detectable, although it would take some work I guess. Fun work though).
