Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed concerns that bots have distorted the authenticity of social media, particularly during his observations of Reddit's r/Claudecode subreddit. He shared on X, “I assume it’s all fake/bots,” despite acknowledging strong interest in OpenAI's Codex. Altman highlighted how social media platforms incentivize engagement, potentially leading to bot infiltration, which he believes contributes to a pervasive sense of artificiality online. The prevalence of bot traffic is increasingly alarming, affecting community trust.
