I'm getting burnt out on all my moderation actions being against fucking AI. Like, I never thought I'd say it, but I miss suspending Nazis and bigotsβ€”at least they were real people who would give up after a whileβ€”these LLMs just go on and on, and they don't give a shit if they're suspended or rejected.

#FuckLLMs (but also #FuckNazis and #FuckBigots)

It's getting bad. Like 80+% of our instance applications are AI-generated now, and it's a huge waste of time to action them.

There seem to be several different models, and they all use throwaway email providers and VPNs.

We have one model that just "wants community" in a couple sentences, one that is looking for "tech-minded, open source friends", one that just spews word-salad, one that copies and pastes other people's bios, and at least a couple that try various plausible messages.

The better they get, the more resources it takes us to identify and reject them.

They're like fucking fruit flies.

@alice I’ve got an idea. Make a special AI specific signup page. Streamlined and optimized for AI agents. SEO it up. Then send that entire signup section straight to junk and never check it.
@BabblingGeek but how do we send AI agents there and humans to the human one?
@alice @BabblingGeek Make the human page contain swear words and foul language?
