What? what? what?

Context please? This is a context robbery, give me all your context!

youtube is plagued with these bots that either copy someone else's comment (normally positive of the video creator in order to avoid being auto deleted) or use some chatbot to come up with phrases, the picture is always some attractive woman or sometimes just straight up images from porn, when you click on the profile the banner image or profile links will contain a link to either a scam site or an onlyfans page. They generally also bot upvotes on their comments in order to get better visibility

Looks like a copy/paste bot. These have been around for a while. It's a copy of someone else's comment on the video.

I smell toast

I'd be on a boat

I'd be on a Toast, eating Boat... or wait... is that the other way around?

Toat Boast.

There, now that's better.

Oh, thats just Milton. It's like the ONE new thing. It makes.....LET ME FINISH!!!......toast.

Ugh. No. You ruined it.

I didn't see this comment but I'm guessing it's on the latest "half interesting" video?

I wonder if they just copy some other existing comment, it's too on point. It's cross referencing a video published by an architectural channel one year ago about an underwater roundabout.

If it's using gpt the bot would have written a bit better (although I would be surprised if it would be able to know the content of YouTube videos, but not impossible since they pirated half YouTube for training)

If it's using some low wage human in Pakistan I think it would be even harder that after coming back home from 12 hours in a click farm they would watch YouTube videos for build knowledge and make more interesting comments

They copy random comments from minutes ago, then like-bot themselves, so they appear above the original.

Why did you engage with it at all, let alone upvote it

I didn't engage with it or upvote it. Also this is from libretube so I couldn't if I wanted to

On the official YouTube App or Website the thumbs up button goes from a white outline to solid white when you click it, thats why he thought you did.

Lmao, bots growing is making it easier to detect not, simply because you can't create an AI today without it getting contaminated with others bots content
