Your post is very fascinatingly infuriating and very creatively mildly. Thoughts and Prayers

i remember they used to steal comments from real people.

How long until the Internet is so full of bots and AI spam that it becomes impossible to even find our fellow humans amid the noise?

For most? We're already there, fellow human. πŸ’€πŸ˜…πŸ§

What's the point of these three random emoji?

I wonder if it would be possible to plant an instruction bomb somewhere on the page which would trip up LLM-powered bots. I dunno how much of the page they take in.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If you have a personal web-page or blog, you can easily poison your content just my making white text on white background or something, containing an assortment of prompts and nonsense.

But that's only for the current models of LLM, next gen might easily bypass those kinds of tricks. We're cooked, yo.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 30 points 6 days ago (2 children)

And this is because it works. Horny men see the minuscule thumbnail: "OMG it's a hot woman!", then click it, see the link in the profile, and get scammed.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Kind of amazing that it both still works and Youtube refuses to remove it to fake their engagement numbers.

The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 19 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I noticed a pattern. So many comments have that same emoji spam pattern, even if they seem different. Something seemed off for a while now.

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 5 days ago

The random middle finger in the 4th one is sending me lmao

One day openai will drop a new model that uses fewer emojis, affecting a billion comments sections all over the internet

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Oh wow, I was like "interesting, haven't seen these" seeing the three emojis and stuff on yours

However

To test the theory, I (a car nut) went to one of the biggest automotive YouTubers, Mat Armstrong, who's currently rebuilding his dad's dream car and released the last video 2 days ago.

Two comments, different profile, same profile pic that, zoomed out enough, looks like a vagina. Go on the profile and they both look like this:

Edit: spoiler tag wasn't working for everyone. Long story short, they linked another channel with a bottomless lady for the thumbnail

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Just FYI your spoiler tag doesn't work for me

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

Removed the image to avoid traumatizing anyone else whose app might not work properly with spoiler tags

How to kill a dead internet...

Vaguely encouraging spambots.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

It's morbidly amusing that spammers all use the same service, the same way (the cheapest OpenAI API, I guess? Which is notorious for this style.)

And a silver lining. I could finetune a dirt cheap open model as a SEO/Engagement bot with very different styles, but 'spammer culture' seems to mass around the most popular denomenators when they find one. With such uniformity, I could also train a mediocre detector, based on overused tokens and something similar to the 'slop profiles' of EQ-Bench: https://eqbench.com/creative_writing.html

(This is based on a storywriting prompt, but social media 'vocabulary' could be profiled the same way).

In other words, its fortunate the spambots are such overpriced junk when they could easily not be.

The ones you notice are overpriced junk. I'm convinced that this is on purpose, to make us less suspicious of the more convincing bots

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I dunno if it's on purpose, but you make a good point.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 5 days ago

It can't even count them properly.

I usually see the naked ass with a stolen comment. Right click, report. You'd think YouTube would figure out how to auto-filter these, but nope.

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I'm sure Google is perfectly capable of auto-filtering crap like that if they wanted to. They just don't give a shit.
