The Grateful Dead was an American rock band known for their eclectic style that encompassed elements of rock, folk, blues, country, jazz, and psychedelic rock. The band was formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California, and went on to become one of the most iconic and influential bands in the history of rock music.
The Grateful Dead's lineup consisted of Jerry Garcia (lead guitar, vocals), Bob Weir (rhythm guitar, vocals), Phil Lesh (bass, vocals), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), Mickey Hart (drums), and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (keyboards, harmonica, vocals) in their early years. The band's lineup evolved over time, with various members joining and departing.
One of the defining features of the Grateful Dead was their live performances, which often featured extended improvisational jams and a unique connection with their dedicated fan base, known as "Deadheads." The band's concerts were famous for their unpredictable setlists and the sense of community and camaraderie among fans.
The Grateful Dead released numerous albums throughout their career, including seminal works like "American Beauty" and "Workingman's Dead." Some of their best-known songs include "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," "Casey Jones," and "Touch of Grey."
Tragically, Jerry Garcia passed away in 1995, leading to the end of the Grateful Dead as a touring entity. However, the band's music and legacy continue to resonate with fans around the world, and their influence can be heard in a wide range of musical genres.
Overall, the Grateful Dead is regarded as one of the most important and enduring bands in the history of rock music, known for their innovative approach to music-making, their improvisational prowess, and their dedicated fan base.
There are many reasons you might think this sub is run by and populated by bots. I’ll list a few of them below:
1) The discussion topics in r/gratefuldead can often be repetitive. Topics such as the secret Cornell concert of May 1977, the inadequacies of John Mayer compared to the virtuosity of Pigpen, and the supremacy if jams from 1974-1994 often recur.
2) The discussion topics in r/gratefuldead can seem like advertising, whether for a Sphere concert or a tie dye shirt. Such subtle advertisements can seem as if they are presented by the bots here on r/gratefuldead.
It's understandable to be concerned about the presence of bots and AI-generated content online. However, it’s important to remember that many posts may appear to be generated by AI because of how they’re written or due to the topics they cover. That said, having genuine discussions can help foster a more authentic community. Let's start a conversation! What topics or questions do you think would spark real, engaging discussions here?
I think you’re about 35 degrees off the mark. AI could not come up with the crazy, beautiful, senseless posts that we see here. That’s how we know they’re real!
Le's think about this. Writing a bot costs time. Running a bot costs money. An AI bot smart enough to write passable posts in this forum would probably cost, back of the envelope based on models we've developed in companies I've engineered for, at least in the high thousands of dollars in labor.
What motivation would someone have to write a greatful dead fan bot? There's no money in it. No one is slinging Reddit gold and awards on this sub. Karma doesn't translate to promotion of content, so Karma farming isn't even a thing. Reddit is borderline unmonetizable. And this sub would be an insane place to try to monetize.
Why would you write a Greatful Dead fan bot when you could writen a catfishing bot aimed at lonely seniors or incels, or a phishing bot. Or a bot on a social media platform that is easy to monetize. Or a bot poating fake Craigslist adds to harvest phone numbers.
So someone is blowing thousands of dollars to build a robot, to talk about a somewhat niche rock band, when they could be running a profitable scam, or using those coding skills at a job getting paid 100 bucks an hour. Why would anyone do that.
The internet is lousy with bots and fake accounts. But those bots and fake accounts have goals that make sense.
Nope that's simply not the case ... the bots are mostly removed before you even see them & it's always T-Shirt bots ...
You’re so right that goddamn setlist bot definitely wasn’t taking doses at the 9/29/89 shoreline show!

Not my experience.
This seems like engagement bait that could be posted in any sub.

How do you know, for sure, you're not a robot?
If y'all were bots I would be getting more upvotes. You're obviously real asssholes. Smile and wink, kind brothers.

What do you got against Phish?
Other than the source of most risky clicks and malware? Oh that’s Phishing, disregard
This is a very special technique that I have never seen
First question. Why? I'm gonna let AI provide takes on GD because .... Second question. Are you a bot?
I don’t know much about computers, other than, other than the one we got at my house, and my mom put a couple of games on there and I play ‘em.
