Ask Lemmy

If I were a bot could I viscerally describe the walls of your mothers vaginal canal as if I had probed it thoroughly with my tongue?

Could I say "Fuck That Shit"?

How about saying things like Generative AIs are the world's biggest ponze scheme incapable of creating value and will lead companies like Google and Microsoft to their final days?

Could I say the answer is to take the fox across and then the chicken because I don't care if the fox rips it to tiny shreds, truly?

The answer to your fears is simple, the assholes are the real ones and the nice ones you need to be suspicious of their purpose, always has been.

How can memes be real if posters are not real?

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

Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you

Spelling errors probably. Lol

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

I can identify the traffic lights on any picture.

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

On reddit?

I am fycking a bot how I can prove it?

Cogito ergo sum

Biep biep

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

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.

I asked my deepseek r1:14b model and it gave this. It is quite wordy and likes bullet points. I wouldn't bother typing all this out.

Thank you for bringing up these important questions about bot detection and trust in online communities. These are valid concerns, especially as technology evolves and becomes more sophisticated.

Verification on Reddit: While Reddit does employ measures to detect bots (such as CAPTCHAs and rate limiting), it's true that no system is foolproof. However, the platform has been actively working on improving its anti-bot mechanisms over time. As a user or admin, staying informed about these measures can help us understand how communities are moderated.

Lemmy and Other Instances: On platforms like Lemmy (a federated social network), trust in other instances can be challenging because each instance operates independently. However, as a server admin, you can take steps to verify the credibility of an instance:
* Manual Verification: You can manually check accounts on other instances by reviewing their posting patterns and content for consistency with human behavior.
* Community Standards: Look for instances that follow similar community guidelines or moderation practices to yours. This can help ensure a level of trustworthiness. * Transparency: Instances that are transparent about their moderation policies and allow communication between admins are generally more trustworthy.

Future Concerns: As AI and bot technology advance, the risk of sophisticated bots mimicking human behavior will increase. However, staying proactive by implementing verification systems (like PII checks) and educating your community about suspicious activity can mitigate these risks.

Spam vs. Human-like Bots: While traditional spam bots are easier to detect, human-like bots that use statistical data to mimic patterns are more insidious. This is why relying solely on automated tools isn't enough—it requires a combination of technology and human oversight.

As server admins, we must remain vigilant but not overly discouraged. By fostering open communication within our communities and collaborating with other instance admins, we can build a network that prioritizes trust and authenticity.

I wish legislation was passed to periodically prompt for fido2 biometrics to certify you are human. But doubt they would pass such a bill in the united states since the powers that be benefit from influencing people's minds with bots.
