The communities like AITAH and relationships on reddit are completely cooked. There is so much AI nonsense and as noted, people completely eat it up.
This isn't particularly noteworthy or concerning, imo. These two communities are probably the least likely to care about authenticity, and also best suited for a system that's only real success is spinning moderately coherent fictions. They have and will always be most interested in drama, which is easy to fabricate.
The real danger of these systems is shaping public discourse by sheer volume of noise. They can make any opinion seem overwhelmingly supported, or tear apart opposition with distractions and infighting. And they do it with a single-minded focus spread across thousands of voices.
Remember all the Reality Shows (TM) that took over because they had no scripting and relatively tiny production crews? They took over because they were cheap.
Looks like AI is about to lower that bar yet again.
Those quickly became scripted and fake reality too, if any of them were ever even not that.
They were always badly scripted.
