they are just trying to fill up the thread with spam, so that people don't read the negative testimonials.
they are very literally trying to increase the surface area of positive LLM testimonials in the thread
I'm not sure to what extent these are bad actors and to what extent this is caused by LLM addicts' predilection for dumping and ingesting massive tracts of autobabble.
My guess is 80% bad actors, 20% true believers/addicts/cult victims. I don't think LLM addicts are a large part of the population and over the last couple years LLM investors have made a point of aggressively pushing their bad faith covert advertisement on internet forums.
