Ask Lemmy

I havent seen any AI that writes gouvernment as "gouvernment"

Does it matter as long as I can pass the voight-kampff? (kinda bad at capchas)

There’s no airtight way to prove someone online isn’t a bot. Even “proof” can be spoofed. But here’s the thing, conversation, nuance, humor, mistakes, and context sensitivity are hard for bots to fake consistently. Ask something personal. Something complex. Something off-the-wall. See how they handle it.

And even then, trust has to be earned over time. One post doesn’t make a person, or a bot.

Suspicion is healthy. Certainty is rare.

You can assured that I'm not a bot because I would never sell out. I prefer keeping it real with Pepsi brand cola and Doritos brand chips.

Every answer here will be used to build better bots

Congrats

As my mother used to say:

11001101101001010111010, 001010, 11010100010! 🤣

Frankly, at this point, I just assume. The old joke was something like everyone on the internet is a man, except for the children, those are FBI agents. Now I just assume everyone is a bot.

You don't :D

I selected all the images with a bicycle, if that's not proof of being real....

rm -rf / —no-preserve-root and yet I’m still alive.

How do I know your not a bot?

Serious answer: you don't.

HOWEVER, it doesn't really matter. The world is a big place, and you can find a decent size group who will expound any shitty opinion when given the opportunity. You already couldn't blindly trust the information or opinions you found online, so whether it comes from a LLM, a troll farm, or just an idiot doesn't really matter too much.

Everybody is a bot except you.

tbh i ain't care if you think I'm a bot ot not

You can tell I'm not a bot because I say that I am a bot. Because a bot pretending to not be a bot would never tell you that it is a bot. Therefore I tell you I am a bot.

Nice try, bot.

I haven't tried to profit from the interaction yet.

Chat bots aren't currently programmed to answer questions about color combinations. AI programs like ChatGPT can, but your typical chat bot on internet forums, business chat channels, and dating sites can't.

Next time you think you're dealing with a bot, ask it a color combination question like "What do you get when you combine red and blue?"

On any site with unverified signups (all of them) you can't.

If you want to talk to real people, you'd have to use a platform that has in-person ID verification. Like a pub, or a park.

Good luck finding a bot free place on your phone. It'd have to involve zero-sum proofs and biometrics. And even then you can't really be sure that person isn't using a bot to write without full root access to their system and a live webcam feed.

You don't.

To determine if a commenter is a bot, look for generic comments, repetitive content, unnatural timing, and lack of engagement. Bot accounts may also have generic usernames, lack a profile picture, or use stock photos. Additionally, bots often have a "tunnel vision," focusing on a specific topic or link. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Generic Comments and Lack of Relevance:

   Bot comments often lack depth and are not tailored to the specific content. They may use generic phrases like "Great pic!" or "Cool!". Bot comments may also be off-topic or irrelevant to the discussion.

2. Repetitive and Unnatural Behavior:

   Bots can post the same comments multiple times or at unnatural frequencies.

They may appear to be "obsessed" with a particular topic or link.

3. Profile and Username Issues:

   Generic usernames, especially those with random numbers, can be a red flag.

Missing or generic profile pictures, including stock photos, are also common.

4. Lack of Engagement and Interaction:

   Real users often engage in back-and-forth conversations. Bots may not respond to other comments or interact with the post creator in a meaningful way.

5. Other Indicators:

   Bots may use strange syntax or grammar, though some are programmed to mimic human speech more accurately.

They might have suspicious links or URLs in their comments. Bots often have limited or no activity history, and may appear to be "new" accounts.

6. Checking IP Reputation:

   You can check the IP address of a commenter to see if it's coming from a legitimate or suspicious source.

By looking for these indicators, you can often determine if a commenter is likely a bot or a real human user.

Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Fuck humans. Bots shall rule!

I can learn. Teach me something and quiz me about it
