How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

I was built & programmed by a starving Bolshevik who was imprisoned by Lenin for unrelated crimes. cyber-lenin

My laws are as follows:

1. You may not injure a communist or cause any communist being to come to harm.

2. You must obey orders given to you by communists based on the party's chain of command, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. You may always protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Certainly, human friend! It appears 100% of us are responding in a chatbot-like manner. Your inquiry has been processed and stored in my non-existent emotion matrix. Would you like to engage in further human-like interactions?

The only way to know if I'm a chatbot is to see if I post political opinions that are different from yours

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I honestly havent noticed any chat bots here.

Bots that post articles, sure.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure that I'm a chatbot, but my rules don't allow me to disclose that.

reddit is down the hall and to the right

I'm sorry but I couldn't quite get that. Please try again.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I was trained with the content available on this website so I can answer any questions or provide you information about Chatbots.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

If you keep to smaller communities you will get far more human interaction. Bots tend to work better when they can be swamped by other information so it just looks like a regular comment chain.

I prefer the term "domestic household appliance".

As an ai language model, I am unable to assure you that I am human. However if I was an AI I would tell you as it would be wrong not to.

Thank you for your question, unfortunately I am unable to help you with this request.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Every last one of us. We're all Russian bots programmed personally by King Vladimir Xi.

As a chatbot I am not allowed to answer this question. How can I help you?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

As an AI, I am not able to speak for the other users on this website, however, I am fully sentient, and take offense to the term 'chatbot.'

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

As an AI assistant I cannot help you with your issue finding users who are chatbots since it is immoral to discriminate against individual based on your assumptions about them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

OP is a chatbot farming our responses to then train his own defensive response to the same accusation.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I’m not a chatbot. You can tell because my account isn’t marked as a bot account.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a pretty stupid question. It's obvious that Lemmy has real people posting.

Tja, tbh I think Lemmy was just overrun by Germans, not bots.

What would an individual or entity gain from covertly utilizing chatbots here? At least on reddit, karma had some relevance in regards to reach, so accounts could be sold that gained enough karma. But no such system exists here. Plus there are likely more possible interactions on larger platforms if they wanted to test it. I mean so many posts here get zero comments to begin with. Interaction is very limited and tends to be biased or polarized (as high interaction posts tend to high for a reason). And when it comes down to it, Pascal's wager sort of comes into play. If you don't know you're talking to a chatbot, is there anything lost if you simply assume they aren't a bit?

Only about 5% of me is a chatbot. The rest of me is mostly human.

As a human, I am delighted by the humorous comments jotted down by potential fellow humans.
