On 4chan, AI posts are typically overly polished, neutral, and sometimes context-blind—missing in-jokes, greentext format, or proper tone. They may respond generally to specific prompts and avoid inflammatory language. Bot spam is low-effort and repetitive, often promoting links (crypto, porn, scams), using strange formatting or text meant to bypass filters. Bots rarely engage with replies and post rapidly across threads or boards. Repetitive autists, by contrast, use the same phrases, images, or memes obsessively, often daily. They’re identifiable by consistent formatting quirks or catchphrases and will argue or respond emotionally when challenged. Unlike bots or AI, they show clear patterns of behavior over time and may be known “locals.” The key difference is that AI posts "feel" synthetic and vague, bots are disruptive and transactional, while autists are oddly passionate and persistent.
