Looking at the posts in /hot they're just filled with AI-generated comments, which just aren't removed by moderators.

Is it even worth posting here when reading the comments they're just AI slop followed by more AI slop.

Do the users who submit interesting topics even realize they're just replying to AI comments?

Looking at this post for example, there's this user whose comments all follow the same pattern: start with tbh/ngl and most of the time introduce an em-dash in the middle of the comment. In the same post you have this other user whose comments all have 3-4 paragraphs, and just have an off tone. Another user and same story: 3-4 paragraphs, an off tone, weirdly worded comments which end up summarizing the topic they're replying to.
