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

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

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?

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 10 points 11 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 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 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 :

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 40 points 15 hours ago (2 children)
[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

We need more Lower Decks memes.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 13 hours ago

Can't forget that one!

[–] artifex@piefed.social 24 points 16 hours 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 11 hours ago (1 children)

Love me some Bandit.

"Now how to act pregnant?"

[–] artifex@piefed.social 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The whole show is a masterpiece.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 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 16 hours ago

Thank you and corrected.

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 5 points 10 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

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 hours ago

Yes we are. Beep boop. 🤖

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 30 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

yes, real people—very real

❔❓👌🙂💕

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago

This is a very human response!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Bot: “Reddit is nothing but bots.”

Bot 2: “Troll. Reported.”

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 15 hours ago

“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 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 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 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago
[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

That’s not just a realization; it’s a powerful insight!

[–] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 9 points 16 hours ago

Chat is that you?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

God. I hate it so much.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 3 points 16 hours ago

What's a Linkedin bot doing here?

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 14 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.

[–] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

This meme template really needs to die!

[–] Eternal192@piefed.social 6 points 17 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.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Beep boop. Fuck you, assface.

[–] fletcher_bosom@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Should be a bot sitting behind the table

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 17 hours ago

I don't see the difference.

[–] knight_alva@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Sometimes it’s me arguing with bots. It’s probably also sometimes other people not arguing with me because they think I’m a bot.

[–] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 2 points 17 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.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 2 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 16 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.

[–] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 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?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 16 hours ago

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