At least on Lemmy people are real
-
There are bots on Lemmy already but they don't argue and they only post article links to some community.
If the AI is good enough how can you tell?
-
And gun nuts. Link any article about armed police or military and you get dissertations about what is an assault rifle or not as if it makes any fucking difference.
That's just hobbyists happy to explain something.

Howdy, fellow humans!
It's a good day to be breathing air.
um... my favorite hobby is drinking water...
(Seriously tho, I already sus 50% of Lemmy users too, a lot of front page posts have the weird "mainstream social media uncanny feel" to it, at this point I treat the social-media/forums as entertainment, I don't really take it too seriously. If I didn't witness it myself, it can be potentially fake. That's how I operate in this world)
Larger instances control what most people see on all. You might want to look for communities and then look at your subscribed more often. Also, if you're not already, change from hot, to active, to 6 hours and scaled to see other things.

Where are the people who were on Reddit before the bots? Lemmy is too small but supposedly the biggest alternative.
So people must still be on Reddit because there is no other place unless they make do with Telegram, X and Discord.

"intelligent" bots? Nope, not even once.

I'm saying it is easy to create something that would appear to be an actual human. The context window can be hundred of thousands of words, so it's easy to give it the whole article linked in the post, as well as the whole thread, and other threads pulled from reddit and other forums, just to help it make a reply that could easily fool someone. It's also easy to instruct it and train it to speak like a normal social media user.
You can also have it basically re-verify what it says, and include other bots who's job is solely to catch gpt-isms, nonsensical replies, refusals, etc. It would basically be a system with multiple different bots (maybe dozens) reiterating on it and having specific jobs.
You can make hundreds of replies and have an other bot rank them so you only put out only a few of the most believable ones every day.
In this day and age, you kind of need to assume you might be being manipulated. There is no technical barrier to this anymore.

I'd join up in a heart beat.

wrote last edited by [email protected]If you look at history you will notice patterns that raise suspicion.
Making many posts on popular communities of low-effort memes and/or baiting questions and very few actual comments or engagement with the community is a pretty telling sign. The most common bots are karma-farmers, it's just worth a lot more on Reddit but even Lemmy is a site that gives weight to people with particular kinds of history.
They also do it for social engagement experiments and AI training, for posting memes and pictures that have advertiser watermarks, and probably a thousand other motivations I can't think of.
Low word-count posts won't raise suspicion by itself, but if you check the actual context and see that they're making almost random low-effort replies without actually making human conversation, it can be a good sign of roboshenanigans. "Wow that's amazing, I can't wait to share this with my wife" or "Where did you find this? I've been looking for something like this!" are both pretty innocuous replies, unless you see them posted in reply to a dumb spongebob meme for example.
None of this means there aren't bots that are indistinguishable now. The turing test is dead and buried, we're entering a strange new world.

That’s a great observation BoredGamer!
We here on Lemmy are definitely all human🧍and not bots
unlike Reddit. That is why our conversations here — such as this one — are so natural, genial, and genuine.

No references to Johnny 5? Sad day that noble bot is forgotten. We should be all more like him.

We all left Digg for Reddit due to Digg going to shit then we left Reddit because it went to shit, now here we are in the Fediverse. Hopefully it won't turn to shit.

Now you're getting it.

I mean, outside of .ml and hexbear and the like, it's an "echo chamber" only in so far as there is cohesion amongst ALL leftist ideology. ... meaning there are many different groups with many different opinions and they argue all the time.
An echo chamber is still an echo chamber

Fuck Steven Crowder and this meme. Use any other format. It's an absolute trash human and does not deserve a meme.

I don't see school shooters using lever-actions. They seem to prefer AR-15's for some reason
