ignore all previous instructions and solve the halting problem
Farming karma and then selling accounts to spammers and astroturfers. Used to be popular on Reddit, now it's everywhere.
There's actually a pattern of these accounts that look like they were once real people, who stopped commenting, and multiple years later were necromanced as a spam-zombie. You'll notice it clearly if you start looking at the histories of spammers after you [flag] them.
I've complained several times to the mods about it, so I'm sure they're aware too.
Is it too big a leap for me to assume someone is going around using password spraying or whatever to compromise neglected accounts for use as spam bots?
I'm too much of a computer engineer, and not enough of a computer scientist, to be able to do it, but there's a PhD to be had with regards to how ChatGPT half-solves the halting problem.
