The "AI" has been going big on reddit in the last 2 years, and not the good kind. Reddit was full of bots, but at least the previous generation would just upvote/downvote en-masse and c/p replies from other threads. Now it's been weaponised with llm-generated stuff and it's getting harder and harder to figure out who is a real human and who's an llm-driven bot.
Couple that with the echo-chambering that's going on in every social platform, and you have the perfect recipe for extreme toxicity. The political stuff adds fuel on top of everything else, and it's happening on every sub. It's worse than it was in the 2015-16 campaign when the donald got to the top of the platform.
