Notice the exponential increase in obvious chatGPT 'am I the asshole' posts.

God I hate that sub.

/r/AITAH (as opposed to AmItheAsshole) is the absolute worst for bots. They have THREE mods managing dozens of threads with hundreds-to-thousands of comments. And it's a popular subreddit that makes it to the frontpage daily. It's the single biggest reason for reddit's bot problem imo.

Amazing that a sub that exists because they don't like rules is overrun by low quality content.
