Jun. 24th, 2021 10:50 amanyone else spotting weird GPT-3 spam in youtube comments?
I was watching a Columbo clip, and some guy named "Rick rick" makes a long comment. It starts out saying something syntactically correct but nonsensical about it, like "Columbus in the 50's was never more than 10 minutes partly because of programming. There's hardware and software." and then there'd be two paragraphs of random-looking sentences eventually ending with some word salad about BLM and the 1619 project and "Chowvin convicted of 6 counts of racism. the proof is in the pudding."
I looked at a few other recently posted Columbo clips from the same channel, sure enough there are versions of this post with slight variations -- occasionally there'd be just a single sentence comment about "Columbus was originally going to be played by Bing Crosby" which would be vaguely true if Columbo's name were spelled right. Then other people would reply, and then the big multi-paragraph rant ending in BLM keywords would happen later in the thread.
I clicked on "Rick rick"'s name to see his profile. He has no uploaded videos, and 18 subscribers. but the account joined in 2013. it's not impossible that this could just be some schizophrenic guy. but the whole variations-on-a-theme nature of those posts...
well, this is online life now
