I had an old account banned site wide for asking why there was an obvious gay guy on love island. Wasn't even a malicious post I was genuinely curious how he faked his way on there.

Recently I got a temp ban for mentioning chatgpt on the books sub, someone was asking about a large selection of books and which were worth reading. I told him to get chatgpt to sort the list out by most popular. Apparantly even mentioning an llm exists there is a ban.

Kinda get the second one as authors all think chatgpt stealing from them or something but yeah I was talking about sorting a large list

Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go "I dunno lol go ask chatgpt". I would've banned you too tbqh.

Well how else are you going to sort a list of about 30 books to decide which are worth time or not. The guy had bought an anthology of every Alien/Aliens novel and was complaining a lot of the books in it were really bad and wanted help knowing which ones are actually worth reading.

I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly in fact that's why I've posted here as well.

I replied because nobody was helping him and there's an easy solution. Didn't know r/books was now back in the dark ages to be fair.
