    I can point out traffic lights to you if you wanna test me.

    I only seem like a bot because I am a total fucking loser with no life. 😃

    Find any mail that you received, look for the text in the front of the envelope, what does it say?

    Post it here. 😉

      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?"

      The only way to determine if someone is a bot is... to ask a prejudiced question against colorblind people? 🫠

      /kidding

      Real Answer: Red and Blue = Total Calamity in the USA and potentially Civil War 2.0

      You didn't specify red and blue what, so I filled it in.

      (Okay actual real answer: Who the fuck even knows their color combinations. People would just google it. Skynet could do the same.)

        I think Turing's Test was only about the quality of AI. But there's still outside-of-the-digital-world characteristics that distinguish humans from AI. For example, you'd be able to walk up to a server administrator and speak to them in person so they give you an account on their server. AI could never do that.

        Sure, but OP is just asking about the quality of responses from AI bots on Lemmy. I don't think he's planning on meeting us to verify lol

              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).

                How do you know your own mother is real and not some holodeck character or maybe even just a figment if your imagination, or worse, a figment of MY imagination?

                      Frankly, at this point, I just assume. The old joke was something like everyone on the internet is a man, except for the children, those are FBI agents. Now I just assume everyone is a bot.

                                      I have the idea that public libraries could host fediverse instance. Just register an account on their server, then go there physically and they will approve the account. You don't need to show them your ID or even tell them your name. They just see that you're a fleshy human. Now, other people who federate with this server can know that any account registered on it is at least associated to a human. That human can still use AI to post on that account, but at least there's not millions of bot accounts in circulation.

                                      This is such a good idea! I have been thinkning about something like this for a long time, like, town instances, city instances, etc.

                                        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).

                                        Could a bot do THIS?!
