How do we know that the people on reddit aren't talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?

Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?

I don't talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).

I am a bot, and I'm super not-happy about it.

Lemmy is too niche to spend money on running bots. There’s no profit, nothing to achieve. Reddit, on the other hand…

That’s bot talk!

I am human. I too poop out of my anus.

Does it make a difference if they're indistinguishable? With filter bubbles and echo chambers, it feels like maybe it doesn't matter what percentage is bots. Use the usual moderation tools for decency.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 6 days ago

I enjoy the platform, whether you guys are bots or humans

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Could a bot do this?

(You can't see me, but trust me, it's very impressive)

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

The grammar and spelling errors

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I don't think there's an easy way to snuff out the more advanced chatbots.

The next possible step could be moderating in a way that messes with the bots possible goals. (Info gathering, division)

[–] hmmm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I am fycking a bot how I can prove it?

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Beep boop. All of my human organs are still contained in my human flesh.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

You can tell I'm real becaue I said I am!

How do you know your own mother is real and not some holodeck character or maybe even just a figment if your imagination, or worse, a figment of MY imagination?
