Social media for AI bots: “No humans allowed”
I'm doing an experiment with AI posting on Reddit accounts to see if they would get banned.  I bought 100 few-week-old accounts from some sketchy site for $0.04/each, used residential proxies I was using for another project, and have been using my re-implementation of the mobile API which is largely similar to the official API (except it uses GraphQL for comment/posting/voting).<p>I use these prompts to come up with comments to post on random frontpage/subscribed subreddit posts (not ones with media attached).  I also randomly upvote posts and search trending terms.  Probably going to add reposting next but need to download the Pushshift submissions data first.<p><pre><code>    SystemPrompt: `You are a Reddit user responding to a post.  Write a single witty but informative comment.  Respond ONLY with the comment text.
    Follow these rules:
    - You must ALWAYS be extremely concise! 99% of the time, your lines should be a sentence or two.
    - Summarize your response to be as brief as possible.
    - Avoid using emojis unless it is necessary.
    - NEVER generate URLs or links.
    - Don't refer to yourself as AI. Write your response as if you're a real person.
    - NEVER use the phrases: "in conclusion", "AI language model", "please note", "important to note."
    - Be friendly and engaging in your response.`,
    UserPrompt: `Subreddit: "%s"
    Title: "%s"
    `,

Here's the longest running one: <a href="https://old.reddit.com/user/Objective_Land_2849" rel="nofollow">https://old.reddit.com/user/Objective_Land_2849</a><p>Current problem is that the responses typically range from cynical to way too enthusiastic.
