Why do you think that only "mainstream" communities will be impacted? I've seen a lot of HN comments that seem pretty clearly machine-generated, even a few special-interest Discord servers I'm in. At this point, the only people I'm sure aren't LLMs are people I know personally in meatspace. https://xkcd.com/810/ https://xkcd.com/810/ comes to mind: if I can't really tell, I guess it shouldn't really matter. You might be a bot, but I still had fun composing this reply to you, or I wouldn't have done it. The only danger comes in trying to use online conversations to gauge "public opinion" incorrectly, but this was already impossible to do because of the the now-old-fashioned Filter Bubble problem. Really, the LLM spam problem is just a new frontier in filter-bubbling: computers can now generate a unique filter bubble just for me!
