Why don't you clean up "the bots"? Useful to be precise here: "bots" is a catch all term that people use to describe low effort, uninteresting or otherwise off-topic content. However, a "bot" is traditionally thought of as a programmatic account, i.e. controlled by a script or software. e.g. bot net When people on Farcaster refer to "bots" they are more often referring to actual people using a mobile device (with the aid of translation tools and ChatGPT) who post uninteresting content (from their pov). They are casting and replying in hopes of appearing to be a "real account" because they have learned that turns into a future economic reward in crypto. Recent tipping meta has increased the expected value of these accounts. It's possible to algorithmically label these accounts, but then you create a "shadowban" meta. So you massively increase the number of support messages and complaints. This was the state of the world before priority mode.

you dont think there is a flood of AI agents coming onboard to FC on the first of the month for the past 3-4 months? There has been a spike in users joining every time there has been a new degen season and they are all casting really low bar ai content.

Be precise. Do you believe the accounts are: 1. Run by a script / software using APIs to cast 2. Actual humans using mobile devices organized in Telegram groups to "farm" with ChatGPT and Google Translate

Except the response is definitely generated by an LLM. It's saying that because it doesn't have the ability to follow links in casts.

oh i know but that seems like a case where the person is just pasting in the first LLM answer without knowing what its saying.

No. If they were a real person, they would have known to reply in English, not Russian. That account posts equally nonsensical replies in both languages, but it defaulted to Russian in this case because my cast had a link without any text. It also replied instantly, so there's no question here. There are thousands of other accounts here that behave exactly the same way.
