All in AIBU, all following a similar formula all with names that are very formulaic too - 3 random words.

So is it mumsnet planting AI written posts to generate discussion?

The same person constantly name changing?

What do we reckon?

There has been at least one post on here that generated a LOT of traffic in which I suspect the poster used AI to write the original post and most replies. It was pretty ridiculous. I have a suspicion that either mumsnet or an external party could be harvesting “advice”-type of text to create a bot of some kind.

I signed up having deleted my account for a bit recently and it suggested 3 usernames, all 3 random words. "MyRedDreamer" and "ThisSpryPoet" were 2 of them.

I think the 3 random words is auto generated user names.
New members might not know you can choose your own user name.
Maybe?
