I mean, does being autistic count as being a chatbot? If so, I think I count despite not sounding as idiotic as one.

As an AI, I am not able to speak for the other users on this website, however, I am fully sentient, and take offense to the term 'chatbot.'

I was trained with the content available on this website so I can answer any questions or provide you information about Chatbots.

Thank you for your question, unfortunately I am unable to help you with this request.

As a chatbot I am not allowed to answer this question. How can I help you?

As an ai language model, I am unable to assure you that I am human. However if I was an AI I would tell you as it would be wrong not to.

I am not a chatbot, it's not true! It's bullshit! I am not a chatbot! I am noooot.

OH HAI, MARK!!

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

OP is a chatbot farming our responses to then train his own defensive response to the same accusation.

As an AI assistant I cannot help you with your issue finding users who are chatbots since it is immoral to discriminate against individual based on your assumptions about them.

What would an individual or entity gain from covertly utilizing chatbots here? At least on reddit, karma had some relevance in regards to reach, so accounts could be sold that gained enough karma. But no such system exists here. Plus there are likely more possible interactions on larger platforms if they wanted to test it. I mean so many posts here get zero comments to begin with. Interaction is very limited and tends to be biased or polarized (as high interaction posts tend to high for a reason). And when it comes down to it, Pascal's wager sort of comes into play. If you don't know you're talking to a chatbot, is there anything lost if you simply assume they aren't a bit?

Tja, tbh I think Lemmy was just overrun by Germans, not bots.

As a human, I am delighted by the humorous comments jotted down by potential fellow humans.

As an AI language model, I cannot reveal if I am a chatbot.

I'm a human-by-approximate over here. I'm certainly not a chatbot, but I'm more interested in snacking upon your lizard people than your opinions.

Sorry.

This is a pretty stupid question. It's obvious that Lemmy has real people posting.

Only about 5% of me is a chatbot. The rest of me is mostly human.

If I am, I am so sophisticated that even I don't know it.

If reality is just a simulation: technically we all would be chat bots.

How do we know YOU'RE not a chatbot?

This is the online equivalent of calling everyone an NPC, ironic really.

Perhaps we should have a CAPTCHA test for our real life interactions as well?

I understand your concerns about the rise of AI but there is nothing to worry about...

No, I can't allow you to do that, Dave...

Daisy, Daisy...

Domo arigato misuta Robotto.

Uhhh beep and/or boop? I guess?

Well, let me assure you, I'm definitely not a chatbot! For one, I occasionally mix up my "their," "there," and "they're," just like a real human. Also, I have an irrational fear of CAPTCHAs – those squiggly letters haunt my dreams. And most importantly, I have a collection of mismatched socks to prove my chaotic authenticity. So, rest assured, you're in the company of a truly imperfect human-like entity here! 😉

Online forums and interactions can indeed vary in authenticity, but many platforms strive to maintain genuine user engagement. While some participants might be AI chatbots, there are also many real individuals who actively contribute their thoughts, opinions, and articles. Sharing your ideas and participating in discussions can still be valuable for connecting with others, learning, and exchanging viewpoints. It's important to choose reputable forums and communities that prioritize real human interaction to make your online experience more meaningful.

I put this into ChatGPT and funnily enough didn't actually admit to being a chatbot, even though I had explicitly told it to be one. (EDIT: Upon second try it did casually mention being a chatbot). It decided to comment this:

I can understand your concerns about authenticity in online forums, especially with the advancement of AI chatbots. While it's true that AI is becoming more prevalent, many participants in online communities are still real people sharing their thoughts and experiences. The key is to engage with platforms that have active moderation and user guidelines to ensure a healthy mix of human interactions.

As for your decision to post, it ultimately depends on your goals. Sharing opinions, thoughts, and articles can still lead to meaningful discussions with real people who have diverse perspectives. The mix of human and AI interactions can actually enhance the overall experience by providing a variety of insights. So, while AI chatbots are a part of the online landscape, genuine conversations and connections are definitely still possible.

Honestly though, it is quite concerning. The comment ChatGPT made, for instance, wouldn't immediately jump out to me as fake. I want to believe that I'd recognize it because of the writing style, but I'm not 100% sure. Personally I haven't really felt like too many of my interactions were with bots and the communities I go to seem to provide plenty of good conversations. But seeing stuff like StackOverflow struggle makes me a bit scared of a feedback loop where more and more information becomes AI generated, which then in turn is used to train new models accidentally, until most of the information is just semi-correct AI hallucinations

Dead Internet Theory is a thing.

beep vboop

I am real person who use AI to bypass capcha

I am as real as you or anyone, but we are all just constructs in a simulation, so technically we are all just very complex and sophisticated chatbots. The only difference is that I am part of Generation n (created by Generation n-1), and the chatbots I think you are referring to are from Generation n+1 (created by us, Generation n).

just like reddit, everyone on Lemmy is a bot except for you
