I used to call out bots sometimes about 2-3 years ago and I can tell you it already was like this. The only difference is the addition of AI, but early bot networks just used Google translate back and forth to copy entire old posts without being noticed.
They often just copy highly upvoted answers to threads they deem as related
That's true but those bot networks were easy to find with reverse search. There were different types of bots and the clever ones went under the radar easily.
A lot of them are using old, pre-AI tactics, too, going by the image.
