Reddit Plans Extra Verification Steps To Detect The Human-Like AI Bots

Reddit: Literally sells the platform's content to AI companies.
AI bots: Fill Reddit with spam
Reddit:

Unless they get creative this likely won't do anything but piss off the human users. Research from a couple years ago found that bots are better than people at captchas.

- That was pretty much always an option. Just a setting. The problem isn't mods, though some of them are part of the symptom.

Reddit still isn't able to fight back against those simple repost bots that copy old posts with the same title. That should be easy to detect.
- Cute of you to assume they want karma farmer bots removed

It already blocks me from reading access for some time because of VPN. I have to use libreddit on the web or redreader on mobile to access. This made me lurk reddit less, never had an account there anyway.
- They seem to have disabled this somewhat recently

So they will break the system more. I opened my Reddit account and shadow-banned after two days later and didn't even receive any reason for that. I swear Reddit will be better place if they just stop to alter it.
- Well if they didn't like your content and they were able to finger print you, they won't allow you to create a new account unless you get a clean slate.
  Except now you can't really get a reddit account unless they can ID you
  
  So they probably don't have classical music taste. Because I didn't even do anything else wandering in music communities. Such a shame. At least we have Lemmy.
