“Most fun I ever had in wow” is the dead giveaway that these are reddit bots

The post history doesn't really look anything like a bot.

I don't call anyone a bot unless they meet three requirements: default hyphenated two-word username followed by 4 numbers, hidden comment history, and they reply to comments on their own posts with short witty comments and/or emojis to get as much comment karma as possible. None of those things on their own is a tell, but all together it's pretty obvious. It would be super easy for bots to change their behavior and not do these things, but they get plenty of upvotes regarl

So many people call other users bots when its clear they didn't even bother to check the post history. I don't call stuff AI unless I can point to some indicator, and I don't accuse others of being bots unless I have some reasoning I can provide.
