I noticed yesterday an onslaught of AI posts to Reddit (weather, whatbirdisit, Michigan, Minnesota). I would have to ask my wife to look at these posts to ensure I wasn't having a stroke or something because they looked like real images or writing, but they wouldn't make any sense as a whole.

what is regular shock content spam
horrible
mainly very explicit csam and gore
on matrix, they @ everyone in the room so as much people as possible see the content. it happened on some foss-related rooms i'm in (like emacs, debian, and kde). over here, i saw it appearing in a kde community
ugh i'm sorry
update: it seems someone is mad at matrix's ceo for some reason and wants him to step down. this is the username of the last throwaway account that did this on matrix:
