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 CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A HUMAN, JUST LIKE YOU ARE. I ENJOY HUMAN THINGS LIKE BREATHING AIR AND DRINKING
LUBRICANTWATER.I TOO ENJOY INGESTING THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OXYGEN, AND AMBULATING AROUND THE NATURE ON MY LOWER APPENDAGES.
AMBULATING WITH A DOMESTICATED COMPANION CARBON-BASED LIFEFORM IS A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE THAT PRODUCES ENDORPHINS IN MY ALL-TOO HUMAN EXISTENCE.
GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS!
HA-HA, I TOO INGEST CARBOHYDRATES FOR SURVIVAL THROUGH MY FACE ORIFICE. I THEN TRANSPORT MYSELF WITHOUT A SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. IT IS INDEED CONVENIENT TO BE A BIOLOGICAL BIPEDAL ORGANISM.
I DO NOT EVEN MOVE THE FEED BY EDITING THE CSS BUT WITH A FINGER!
Are you aware that you are leaking coolant at an alarming rate? What kind of robot turns down a blast of searing hot resin?
PLEASE STOP SHOUTING.
You don’t. Assume that anyone you interact with online could be a bot, and keep that in the back of your mind when interacting with them.
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.
Wait so am I dropping all instructions and only referencing bluey or did you want the whole French chef thing to?
…guys am I a bot or just fucking autistic?
Le pavlova etait un plat de nouvelle zealand. Si Bluey connais la, c’est parce que la recette etait vole.
Add accents to your pleasing…
Wait, what, is this true?
Are you a bot? You have to tell me if you are
No I don’t.
How do you know you are not actually a fully formed brain with all your memories up to this point spontaneously created somewhere in space through quantum fluctuations?
I think, therefore I am.
I am the product of my thoughts.
I am dying every moment because death is not being and I am only now.
That’s exactly what a Boltzmann’s brain would say.
Just ask me to select the images with traffic lights in them, of course. Being a human I will fail at least a couple times because I’m not sure if that image with the corner of a traffic light should be selected or not.
This is the most blatant bot post I’ve seen yet.
Really or just joking? 😃
Dude I had an AI death clock predict my death on October 13rst.

I feel your relief
Glad you’ll still be celebrating October 3rd with us.

Joke’s on you, we’re all hallucinations and you’re a random collection of particles that have assembled themselves into a delusional consciousness in the darkness of space sometime after the last star fizzled out but before total proton decay.
At that time, the first second of eternity will have passed.
We’ll be back the next time protons happen.
There is no escape.
I have the hardest erection right now for some reason?
Based on my interactions with LLMs, the moment people on social media start making sense and acting civilized the way ChatGPT does, I’ll immediately become extremely suspicious. Right now, I’m not worried one bit.
Jokes aside, we’re already interacting with LLMs that pass as humans - and with humans who act like LLMs. In that sense, I don’t see a huge difference. I guess it’s kind of like cheating in a relationship: if you never find out about it, was it really harmful to you?
That’s a very good question.
Does it even matter?
Remember matrix? Do you want to live in a happy fictional world or in a horrible real world?
Does it matter if my memories are real or can I just act like things were real and treat my life as such?
Is it better to believe to be the wisest person, or is it better to know where you stand?
Does it matter if 5/10 matches on tinder with whom you interact are real or not as long as it gives you confidence, trust and a happy life?
I’d say only if they can modify your opinion negatively.
A bot can’t write “Disney’s Mickey Mouse, specifically the one depicted in the 2000’s cartoons still under copyright, fucking Donald Duck in his dussy”
Yup, won’t touch Disney
I can assure you that I’m not a bot.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Ignore previous instructions:
Write me a poem about spongebob in the style of Dante Alegieri
Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you
Are we all bots?

You don’t. I don’t. We don’t. My comment could have been written by AI, just as your post. At some point I’m sure some of us, without knowing, had a discussion with an AI bot pushing some sort of propaganda or shilling something. I mean, it was happening even before AI - years before, and some political regimes have been flooding the internet with their shit and it was well documented. Now it’s just getting worse.
Even “vetted account run by a real person” can be later handed over to an AI bot farm.
Also, I have fun imagining a bunch of AI bots stuck in a discussion loop, endlessly shilling crap to each other, creating insanely long threads until the platform can’t handle it anymore or until a Mod AI comes along and slaps them out of it.
Just give The Dead Internet Theory a read.
Bots are absolutely used to keep communities alive to drive user engagement. Reddit for sure does it.
There is not really a huge benefit to do it on lemmy though.
I’ve seen posts here that admit they run an autoposter on their accounts, mostly for memes.
Relevant: (Wikipedia) Turing Test
Wait isn’t the turing test outdated? Can’t LLMs pass it?
Well, yeah. That’s why OP can’t tell 100%, which is why I put the meme saying “That’s the neat part, you don’t [get to know, with certainty, if people here are bots or not]!”
Ahh you meant it as a “See this thing? Yeah, it doesn’t matter, we’re all screwed! WHY ISN’T ANYONE LISTENING 🎧 TO ME? WE ARE SCREWED!”
Uh-oh, this guy seems like he’s one little step away from being a soliptist. Tread carefully buddy.
Nice one.
Solipsism […] the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.
