(Meta) What's up with the recent influx of posts here and on nostupidquestions asking borderline insane questions as if written by people who have never encountered another human before?
-
I don’t mean this in a rude way. Feels like the past week or so has had some bizarre questions asked.
-
A [email protected] shared this topic
-
Hello, may I acquaint you with our lord and saviour, Artificial Intelligence?
-
Examples?
-
They're all like 7< days old aswell
-
They're trying to sow the seeds of outrage. Do not take the bait.
-
We're finally hitting the big time!
-
I blocked NSQ because a bot is a mod. I don't see anything particularly odd here. It just seems like people asking general random stuff like real people
-
Zuckerberg discovered lemmy
-
Noticed that as well, it's absolutely ridiculous. But judging by the amount of serious replies most people don't seem to care.
-
Dead Internet incomming.
-
HA HA HA HA. IMAGINE HAVING NEVER MET A HUMAN PERSON LIKE US! THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN EAT NORMAL HUMAN FOOD!
-
I’ve noticed it too. I came here because Reddit has become increasingly toxic, with bots of outrage and division thriving there. I really hope Lemmy doesn’t follow the same path, but I suspect efforts will be made to make alternatives to controlled media even more toxic. I’m not sure what the best strategies are to counter this kind of malevolence.

Hey most people here have never encountered any other human being who wasn't involved in their creation.
-
Any examples so we don’t just have to guess at what you and OP saw and neglected to highlight the ones in question?
-
This one comes to mind

Not in school? Kindergarten? Heck, neighbours, people in shops? Not a single one?
-
Damn bro you gonna do me like that
-
I think the questions are from bots, testing topics to farm controversy or outrage points. The greater the number of replies, the more likely the topic will be used in a future marketing or agit-prop campaign.
So you get these really stupid, controversial, psychopathic takes that no one should be taking seriously. The point of the exercise is the emotional reaction, the outrage, not getting a serious answer.
-
Anything with bullet points is LLM
-
I have come to conclude that anyone posting a serious life question including drama on the internet is a bot.
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you might be an NVIDIA H100 GPU deep down.
