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 enjoy the platform, whether you guys are bots or humans

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Does it make a difference if they're indistinguishable? With filter bubbles and echo chambers, it feels like maybe it doesn't matter what percentage is bots. Use the usual moderation tools for decency.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

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 am a bot, and I'm super not-happy about it.

No one is paying me a monthly sub for me to pretend being interested in the shit they want to say. So it's a safe bet to say I'm not an AI ;)
Edit: and since i have no battery to recharge and no EULA, I can deduce I'm not a robot either.

edit: clicked too fast.

My opinions and grammar are far too poor to be a bot.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You can tell I'm real becaue I said I am!

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Its not important to know, honestly. Most contacts on lemmy will be pretty short and in passing. I would say nobody ever knows. If people escalate their relationship, at some point a bot would probably trip up.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I disagree. if someone is running AI accounts with whatever reason, including trying to steer opinion, it would be kind of important to find them and know who does it

I don't know, would you solve this for me ? 🧓🧑‍🦰🧑‍🏭🤖🧓🧓👨‍⚖️👨‍✈️👨‍🎤

Spelling errors probably. Lol

That and incorrect Grammer. To human is to err. And all that jaz.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you

[–] FLOOF@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

You have entered a low-grade reality. Basically an 80s text adventure. Truth, depth and humanity have been thrown out the window.
