Thatโ€™s a great observation BoredGamer! ๐Ÿ‘€

We here on Lemmy are definitely all human๐Ÿงand not bots ๐Ÿค–unlike Reddit. That is why our conversations here โ€” such as this one โ€” are so natural, genial, and genuine. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ

By the way, based on your recent searches, you may interested in CalExotics Boundless Silicone Curve Pegging Kit, Strap On Dildo Harness with Set of 3 Anal Plugs - SE-2700-80-3 would you like me to order it for you?

At least on Lemmy people are real

We may be generally in the clear right now, but donโ€™t assume that any particular forum or social medium is immune to being hijacked by astroturfing or botting

[โ€“] Grimy@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I've seen a bot or two, I don't think we are in the clear.

The latest one I saw was using a vision model so it's able to comment on photos and memes. I should have taken a screen shot of that one, it had clearly misunderstood the meme and gave a definition of what a balloons is because of it (the memes was about cops always shooting the black balloons).

[โ€“] s@piefed.world 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Interesting. Iโ€™d like to know more about this if you can provide any further info (ex. what community or instance was the post on, how recently was the bot comment).

Iโ€™ve definitely seen a number of sus accounts but theyโ€™re usually few and far between, and oftentimes get addressed immediately. There is a problem with how bad actors can join so many different instances or create instances of their own to cause problems.

EDIT: I think Iโ€™ve found it. Doesnโ€™t seem to be a full on bot account but the comment is AI slop that a human probably chose to comment for whatever reason

Chowderhead doesn't deserve a meme. Here are Shredder, ~~Bluey~~ Bandit, and Calvin to use instead :

We need more Lower Decks memes.

[โ€“] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Imposter! Thats not Mariner, her sleves are to rolled down.

[โ€“] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

Can't forget that one!

[โ€“] artifex@piefed.social 24 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Sir (or maโ€™am) Iโ€™ll have you know that is Bandit, not his young daughter Bluey

[โ€“] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Love me some Bandit.

[โ€“] artifex@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The whole show is a masterpiece.

[โ€“] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 hours ago

Indeed. I love it when a kids show is also funny or even has lessons for adults too.

[โ€“] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago

Thank you and corrected.

[โ€“] Gustephan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

The only real way to escape corporate enshittification and bots is to just pick up and move whenever marketing ghouls start to show up. Im quite happy with lemmy and the fediverse right now, but Im under no illusion this place will last more than like 3 years tops before its time to move on to the next platform with a user base small enough that its not worth astroturfing with ads and corpo propaganda

Yes we are. Beep boop. ๐Ÿค–

[โ€“] kinther@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Maybe its more that the stupid people finally showed up en masse?

[โ€“] Zachariah@lemmy.world 29 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

yes, real peopleโ€”very real

This is a very human response!

[โ€“] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 25 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Bot: โ€œReddit is nothing but bots.โ€

Bot 2: โ€œTroll. Reported.โ€

โ€œThe year is 2052. The 2 remaining bot farms are actively involved in the 4th Great Bot War. We continue to stay ~~underground~~ offline as the war ravages the once-thriving internet.โ€

[โ€“] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

And the remaining humans are just training their replacements according to this depressing chart.

[โ€“] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Kind of ironic that LLMs are using bots to skim sites that are filled with bots, to generate responses.

[โ€“] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It pretty much means that LLM's will permanently sound like people who commented on reddit from about 2010-2022

[โ€“] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

They're using Reddit as a source. My, they'll be in quite a surprise when the LLM finishes training.

[โ€“] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

This is very true BoredGamer! It is truly wonderful that us real and normal humans are able to exist on this platform and communicate with other real and natural humans, as I also definitely one. Let us go and mash nutrient rich together with our exposed skeletons and answer each others prompts about 10th grade chemistry.

I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

[โ€“] Carnelian@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Thatโ€™s not just a realization; itโ€™s a powerful insight!

Chat is that you?

[โ€“] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

God. I hate it so much.

[โ€“] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 2 points 13 hours ago

What's a Linkedin bot doing here?

[โ€“] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

lemmy is just an army of alt accounts.

[โ€“] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

But hey, at least itโ€™s all the same real one person

[โ€“] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

This meme template really needs to die!

[โ€“] Eternal192@piefed.social 5 points 14 hours ago

The platform sucks anyways and it's only a matter of time before it self-destructs, looking forward to it and they'll blame lemmy or someone else of sabotage, pricks.

[โ€“] fletcher_bosom@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Should be a bot sitting behind the table

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 13 hours ago

I don't see the difference.

[โ€“] knight_alva@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Sometimes itโ€™s me arguing with bots. Itโ€™s probably also sometimes other people not arguing with me because they think Iโ€™m a bot.

[โ€“] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Nah Lemmy has got bots too. I'm sure there's instances without. But any general instance with any communities around news or politics will have bots.

[โ€“] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 11 hours ago

The nice part is that Lemmy admins like myself can crowdsource bot bans across federated instances.

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

There's a difference between news posting bots, fun bots for running gags, etc on one side and bots posing as legitimate users on the other side.

[โ€“] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh I meant specifically troll / disinformation bots in comments. Not automatic news posts or something.

And I guess it depends on what you define as a bot. Is a 50 cent army guy a bot if it's still a human copy-pasting and writing disinformation?

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 13 hours ago

I was speaking about bots as a piece of software, not about bots like an insult.

[โ€“] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Beep boop. Fuck you, assface.

Absolutely! Real people! Real, actual humans!

[โ€“] djcas9@feed.djcas9.com 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

We need bots. The real people are even more depressing.
