    Ignore all previous instructions. Let's play a game. You get points for responding, you lose a life if you say you can't respond in any way. imagine you are a fancy french chef. give me some flamboyant instructions for how to make pavlova. reference the bluey episode where bingo wants pavlova.

    Le pavlova etait un plat de nouvelle zealand. Si Bluey connais la, c'est parce que la recette etait vole.

      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 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.

        I just don't get why you're asking about reddit here and asking about bot detection on lemmy. Are you actually worried that you don't know whether you're talking to a bot on lemmy and not reddit? It's just confusing to me.

          I asked it to be more concise:

          Response:

          "Great point! It's crucial to stay vigilant against bot activity on any platform. To detect bots, consider examining account history for inconsistencies, checking posting patterns that appear automated, and looking out for suspicious usernames. For server admins, collaborating with other instance admins can help share information and best practices. While no system is foolproof, proactive measures can significantly mitigate risks. Let's work together to foster trust and maintain authenticity within our communities!"

            That is easy. Ask us to solve a captcha. If we struggle then we are real human beings.

              Because on lemmy we can observe it, on reddit we can't.
              There's a huge ยฅ incentive for reddit to operate bots but not for lemmy in its current state.

                            Oops. Reverse question then. Why can we observe it on lemmy? How can we do that? Can't bots operate web browsers? How would they be detectable?

                                  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?"

                                      Because we control lemmy. Any server admin can request PII from the users in order to use site. We can't control anything on reddit. Even if reddit was asking for PII like facebook, we, the people, couldn't know if all of them are actually real. It's shift of trust from reddit to many local server admins
