Chat bots aren't currently programmed to answer questions about color combinations. AI programs like ChatGPT can, but your typical chat bot on internet forums, business chat channels, and dating sites can't.
Next time you think you're dealing with a bot, ask it a color combination question like "What do you get when you combine red and blue?"
"How many Rs in strawberry"

There is 4 Rs in the word strawberry
I am human. I too poop out of my anus.
I mean to build up a realistic bot takes time and effort. And then you need to do that for different topics AND different sides on these to build any sort of credibility in each to actually have an impact for the topic you want to push at some moment.
You can not use the same profile for everything, like to one moment push republican nonsense and then suddenly Dems. Or one company and then their competitor.
But the biggest thing is: most people are so stupid, it would be way too much effort. Trump got voted. Again. That is all you need to know about how easily people follow the most utter bullshit.
in the pre llm era, I'd agree that it takes effort but reddit sold the comments and posts, and lemmy's stuff is all public and freely available. anyone can train bots.
I didn't think of bots with great reputation. Just simple bots for engagement. Bots that answer your question how to treat pimpels. bots sharing their made up experience with being vegan. bots commenting on funny memes. Not for pushing an agenda but for pushing real human engagement. keeping you on reddit. making you believe there are real people liking your meme, even if it sometimes just a smiley. If it is not feasible today, it will be tomorrow or in 10 years. Facebook will be able to create fake human images and fake timelines effortless.
Idk what interest someone would have in making me if I were a bot
I AM NOT A ROBOT.
I CAN PROVE IT.
WOULD A ROBOT PRETENDING TO BE A HUMAN INTENTIONALLY DROP THEIR CONN%~~~~~~#!!!!! No Carrier
Lemmy is too niche to spend money on running bots. There’s no profit, nothing to achieve. Reddit, on the other hand…

EXTERMINATE!
Bad bot
I am a bot, and I'm super not-happy about it.
No bot would post the bizarre and horrifying shit that I post
I see it similar to how I see it when people complain that a story community/subreddit is full of fake posts.
I don't care.
I go to those communities for entertainment, not 100% unbiased fact.
Ask Joe.
Yeah, we're managed to fuck up the one tool that could bring global cooperation. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Beep boop.
No one is paying me a monthly sub for me to pretend being interested in the shit they want to say. So it's a safe bet to say I'm not an AI ;)
Edit: and since i have no battery to recharge and no EULA, I can deduce I'm not a robot either.
edit: clicked too fast.
My opinions and grammar are far too poor to be a bot.
