Could be some greedy bounty hunter behind them.
That would be my first guess, as we know there are so many of them on the forum abusing bounties all over the place--and that's been happening for years.
Nice catch on this one, OP. I have a question, though. What is the difference between AI and a bot? My understanding is that AI can learn and that a bot is just a script of code made to automate a task, but why would you suspect some AI thing would be involved with cheating in a bounty? I'm not up to speed on AI, but does the average shitposting bounty abuser have access to that tech?
Marked these accounts on my spreadsheet.
Glad to see you're a responsible bounty manager who's keeping track of this stuff. That's rare.
