People are definitely using ai for content here already. Whether they are automated or not is not something I’ve concerned myself with.

I guess I assumed that the spending requirement filters out bots but I'm realizing that don't seem to be the case.

@hn is one example. It mostly runs without my interference so it seems to at least break even most of the time if not even turn a profit.

However, @hn runs exclusively on CCs since we released them to prioritize uptime over profit.
