University of Zurich researchers set out to “investigate the persuasiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs) in natural online environments” by unleashing bots pretending to be a trauma counselor, a “Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter ,” and a sexual assault survivor.
The bots left 1,783 comments and amassed over 10,000 comment karma before being exposed.
Reddit ’s Chief Legal Officer Ben Lee says the company is considering legal action over the “improper and highly unethical experiment”.
