(thanks for MetaGer and DuckDuckGo with the search help, with google i would still sift through garbage. MetaGer sadly only goes back to 2025 because they are not that old, or else they would have sufficed)
Thanks for doing the thing I couldn’t be bothered to do. This bot definitely ripped off the recent poster, as the noted defects in it are identical.
They found a fire alarm that wasn’t working, took note of the garbage around the property, and found windows that were boarded up in the basement that needed to be real windows to satisfy the city’s ‘at least 2 real windows in basements’ rule or whatever.
Makes sense really. Easier to have your bot farms rehash and cross post high engagement material between all sources. No matter what, only a fraction of total users are gonna see any one.
Come to think of it, in the last month a custom meme made the front page using some western girls image as the background, then within hours I saw the same meme (identical “custom” text) posted to an indian sub, but with an indian girls image instead. Dead internet theory in action.
I found the thread you mentioned (https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/1wds9vf/my_landlord_told_me_to_go_ahead_and_report_her_to/) and which is probably the basis for the AI prompt for this image.
I did not find an identical post in the last years, but i found the following from 5 years ago, which is very much in the same vein and might be the actual origin of the story (especially since it got 22k upvotes at the time), which was being fed to an LLM with orders to add more details for more engagement: https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/u3668f/our_landlord_told_me_go_ahead_call_the_city/
