A viral Reddit confessional about a "major food delivery app" posted January 2nd is most likely AI-generated. The original post by user Trowaway_whistleblow alleged that an unnamed food delivery company regularly delays customer orders, calls couriers "human assets," and exploits their "desperation" for cash, among other indefensible actions. Nearly 90,000 upvotes and four days later, it's become increasingly clear that the post's text is probably AI-generated.
I'm willing to believe that's possible, but what are your sources for this? I don't see any link to any research data.
There's an article in the verge where they ran the post through ai detectors and asked gemini if the images were true, and i'm not kidding.
Edit: it seems they changed the article, but it was archived by the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20260105190245/https://www.theverge.com/news/855328/viral-reddit-delivery-app-ai-scam
