Ask Lemmy

Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you

I like how Mastodon lets you post links to things like your personal website or GitHub, and show a “verified” check next to them if you add something to your site/github to indicate that you’re the owner.

I don’t really use Bluesky but I like how they let you use your domain name as a username.

It probably rules out bots but I assume propaganda/troll farms could still do this.

Another thing I was thinking of is if there could be separate moderation lists that people could subscribe to. Maybe one basic one for “obviously spam”, but others for people who are suspected of being bots. I’m sure there would be abuse and echo chambers, but if anyone can create and many people can contribute to a list, people could just go with whatever list they prefer, perhaps looking at the blocked content itself to see if the list is implemented well.

I think some people used Reddit enhancement suite to tag users that they interact with. I like that idea but have never gone to the effort, and don’t usually read usernames enough to remember people. So a crowdsourced version of that might work.

Cogito ergo sum

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

On reddit?

If you know some tells if AI speech, then it, to me, becomes a little bit of a coin flip on who's real and who isn't. Some of my favorite tells are grammar that is just way too perfect or using words/phrases you would never hear someone talk about ( for example with Claude: "furrowed brows" or "brows furrowed" seems to be used any and almost all times anything related to a task you concentrate on comes up ).

As for how to tell for other instances, absolutely no clue. It's a toss-up as to whether another instance will allow bots and if so, will the instance you're on defederate with said instance? Also, what happens if we somehow end up in a future where AI is somehow miraculously able to mimic humans to a degree where not even the smart folk can tell the difference? These questions need solutions that we clearly don't have yet, at least for federated services.

This type of stuff is a problem for any public instance anybody can federate with. I'm just glad that if I set up a private Mastodon instance for certain people at the college I attend that I can hopefully blacklist all instances from connecting and require PII like a valid college ID/some form of voucher from an active member to be able to sign up. Ironic considering it's the fediverse, but whatever. Gotta do what you gotta do to reduce the risk of bots interacting with your instance if you don't want them.

Spelling errors probably. Lol

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

I am fycking a bot how I can prove it?

No one would program a bot as wrong as often as me or as asshole as me on purpose

I can identify the traffic lights on any picture.

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.
