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).

Could a bot do this?

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

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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)

No bot would post the bizarre and horrifying shit that I post

The grammar and spelling errors

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

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.

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

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.

You have entered a low-grade reality. Basically an 80s text adventure. Truth, depth and humanity have been thrown out the window.

Cogito ergo sum

Biep biep

If I were a bot could I viscerally describe the walls of your mothers vaginal canal as if I had probed it thoroughly with my tongue?

Could I say "Fuck That Shit"?

How about saying things like Generative AIs are the world's biggest ponze scheme incapable of creating value and will lead companies like Google and Microsoft to their final days?

Could I say the answer is to take the fox across and then the chicken because I don't care if the fox rips it to tiny shreds, truly?

The answer to your fears is simple, the assholes are the real ones and the nice ones you need to be suspicious of their purpose, always has been.
