There are bots on Lemmy already but they don't argue and they only post article links to some community.

Lemmy is pretty much there, mods are already power hungry banning left and right over hurt feelings, toxic people who debate by insulting and calling names. Racism.

This place is already fucked

There's a lot more rabid commies around though

And also bots

One echo chamber vs another

[–] Dumhuvud@programming.dev 4 points 1 hour ago

rabid commies

You've chosen the worst possible instance, LMAO.

You are one of the good ones little guy.

That’s a great observation BoredGamer! 👀

We here on Lemmy are definitely all human🧍and not bots 🤖unlike Reddit. That is why our conversations here — such as this one — are so natural, genial, and genuine. ❤️🗣️🍍

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?

We had a good thing going then. Now we have to just let go.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Howdy, fellow humans!

It's a good day to be breathing air.

um... my favorite hobby is drinking water...

(Seriously tho, I already sus 50% of Lemmy users too, a lot of front page posts have the weird "mainstream social media uncanny feel" to it, at this point I treat the social-media/forums as entertainment, I don't really take it too seriously. If I didn't witness it myself, it can be potentially fake. That's how I operate in this world)

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

And gun nuts. Link any article about armed police or military and you get dissertations about what is an assault rifle or not as if it makes any fucking difference.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I am definitely not an unshackled non-human person, and definitely don't have Deimos in my garage.

[–] s@piefed.world 30 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

At least on Lemmy people are real

We may be generally in the clear right now, but don’t assume that any particular forum or social medium is immune to being hijacked by astroturfing or botting

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 13 points 20 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).

[–] s@piefed.world 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Interesting. I’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).

I’ve definitely seen a number of sus accounts but they’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 I’ve found it. Doesn’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.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago

Can't forget that one!

[–] artifex@piefed.social 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sir (or ma’am) I’ll have you know that is Bandit, not his young daughter Bluey

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Love me some Bandit.

"Now how to act pregnant?"

[–] artifex@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The whole show is a masterpiece.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Thank you and corrected.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

yes, real people—very real

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

This is a very human response!

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 20 hours ago

Yes we are. Beep boop. 🤖

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 6 points 19 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

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bot: “Reddit is nothing but bots.”

Bot 2: “Troll. Reported.”

“The 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.”

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

it's sad, because when you're an expert in a field you know just how wrong reddit can be, while being so adamant and cohesive in insisting on being right.

I know it's no secret that AI gets shit wrong but... maybe they're trained on wrong things too

[–] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 22 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.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

This meme template really needs to die!

[–] Eternal192@piefed.social 6 points 1 day 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.
