I have seen LLMs used to karma farm in order to create sellable accounts, but this account is 12yo which I find more disturbing because it means it used to be a real person's and is now being used for something else.

The problem with automating social media posts is that they definitionally cannot have "merit". The primary function of slop is not to "argue" but to "flood the zone with shit" and create a plausible consensus for whatever opinion the person running the LLMs wants. We saw this with paid humans before LLMs. It's not new.
A human will never be able to win a debate against an LLM bot "on the merits" because their function is to waste your time. An LLM cannot stand on merit, cannot hold a position, and cannot construct an argument. The words that are output by an LLM have no connection to any inside mind or model of the world. The only way to win a debate with an LLM is the same way you win a debate with a troll: identify the hallmarks and refuse to engage.
Im just saying, the McCarthyist argument of "its AI/LLM" has to be dealt with at some point. If an LLM can argue equally or better than ahuman, focus should probably shift to the axtual argumeent as the nexus of discrediting its alleged AI source, rather than shrieking "ITS AI/LLM!" being sufficeint to shut down discussion
An LLM cannot "argue" full stop. If you find yourself in a debate with the text outputted by an LLM bot you have accomplished nothing besides wasting your own time (which is the entire point).
One cannot win an argument that does not exist
I'm starting to understand why you often find yourself accused of being a bot... 🙃
How many people use social media to talk to LLMs instead of people? I don't think most people use social media under the impression comments they respond to and read are AI, but actual people.
You may enjoy talking to chat bots, but I don't have interest in that.
