The communities like AITAH and relationships on reddit are completely cooked. There is so much AI nonsense and as noted, people completely eat it up.
This isn't particularly noteworthy or concerning, imo. These two communities are probably the least likely to care about authenticity, and also best suited for a system that's only real success is spinning moderately coherent fictions. They have and will always be most interested in drama, which is easy to fabricate.
The real danger of these systems is shaping public discourse by sheer volume of noise. They can make any opinion seem overwhelmingly supported, or tear apart opposition with distractions and infighting. And they do it with a single-minded focus spread across thousands of voices.
Sure , of course those subs don’t serve any real purpose besides entertainment. The effects of AI making up stories could be to subtly confuse people about how others think and make decisions at most. Though of course it’s useless to give advice to an AI OP, thousands of people still read and discuss what people write. Who knows, the AI stories could even seem less fake than fictional stories.
