I was wondering if the aim was to be deliberately annoying like reply*guy? Cos they are very annoying.
I think I've managed to block all of them by now tho. 😎
the new LLM bots that have been invading our feeds do take a little bit of time to determine if they're bots or not.
this is partially because the owner sets them up manually and even creates a few notes manually.
i see you.
they're fairly easy to find and mute/block though.
here are some of the red flags that i've found:
STR in the name along with a nostr address with STR@iris.to or STR@coinos.io and coinos.io as their lightning address.
they'll have an introductions note, maybe boost a few other random notes, and then most of their notes are replies.
they are topic based. all replies follow a similar theme or topic.
some of them follow the same half a dozen people. this has recently changed though. the new ones follow random people, especially people that reply to their introductions note.
these bots will break WoT. be careful out there.
thanks for the thoughts on this nostr:npub16eumpaxffppswucpeysysrya9uk39j06d5gr2tsnf6cupq3f4jdqyft6jc

I have taken to reposting that I recognize that the npub is a bot, but they have cleverly sidelined that by spinning up new npubs on the daily.
Interacting with them breaks WoT. So I just don't.
