When will you deal with the onslaught of ChatGPT bots?
What idiot thought it would be a good idea that people can forgo making an account and instead have a random username generated for them? Will we be able to bar such an obvious oversight?

Also, when will they stop introducing their own ChatGPT bots and pretending they are users?

This one’s easy. Obvious GPT bots will get cleaned up for free by the mods who already clean up human misbehavior for free. Non obvious GPT bots will be indistinguishable to Wall Street from human popularity, ergo a net benefit.

Do you genuinely think that having to create a username is a barrier to entry for spammers? Spammers were auto-generating names long before that feature existed. It takes like 2 minutes to create a halfway-passable random name generator.
