An open letter: if you market your product by spamming Reddit et al. with fake stories (as this guide suggests), we:

1. can all tell

2. will not use your product

Please stop polluting the global commons

I don't condone it but the best marketing I've ever seen and which gets to the top of Reddit every week is a company that runs a paid IQ test website. They post some type of outrage bait and it always gets traction. Practically nobody in the comments can tell; they're all focused on how some imaginary character in an image is boasting about an IQ score of 99.

>> can all tell

the reality is most users can't tell. you can see it under every ai post on reddit, unless it is creaming ai in every word.
