The "self-help hustlers using AI to weaponize their content" seem to me more dangerous than the bots because they're less obvious. The bots are easy to spot for the reasons you mention.

But the hustlers are clearly fooling a lot of people by adding chatty introductions and odd personal details to make their posts appear less deceptive. Thanks for calling them out.
