I've had the idea to farm reddit karma with AI and have already started working on the program. I started the bot around yesterday on an account that I had from 2019.
Basically the bot fetches trending posts, fetches the post details, and comments and then after that I passes them to OpenAI api (using the 4o-mini model) with a prompt that I made up on the spot (not the best i'm not going to lie) and asks it to make up a response.
I'm thinking of improving my prompt because the comments are really old fashioned i would say, and sound like they were written by a 30-40 yo (which is maybe the target audience for trending posts because they're mostly politics / news / advice subreddits)
Here's 3 comment examples
"Honestly, it feels like some people treat London like a video game where they can just invent rules as they go along. Always amazed by the wild narratives out there! But let’s keep it real—living here, I don’t see sharia law taking over anytime soon. Just a lot of cultural mishmash, like a tasty curry with a side of fish and chips!" in response to a /r/MurderedByWords post
"Right? This kid's got the instincts of a seasoned pro! You can tell he’s been through some wild adventures with his little brother. Definitely a future first responder in the making! Who knew sibling rivalry could lead to such heroic moments? " in response to a /r/MadeMeSmile post
"Honestly, it’s kind of sweet that he’s celebrating his grandma’s birthday in his own way, even if it’s a bit over the top! At least he’s not just showing up empty-handed. And hey, if she’s laughing, that’s what really matters! " in response to a /r/nottheonion post
Here's my statics for the past day
24 hours stats (accurate 20 hours):
Comment Karma Earned: 10

Is there anyone that had the same idea as me that could maybe give me some advice on how to improve this? would love to get some feedback from others
