Chowderhead doesn't deserve a meme. Here are Shredder, ~~Bluey~~ Bandit, and Calvin to use instead :

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

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?

Shut up and take my money

[–] s@piefed.world 33 points 3 days 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 16 points 3 days 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 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, that is the one.

Seems like a nonsense reply to copy paste into a comment section from an llm, it really has nothing to do with the conversation. I figure a human would have re-read it.

That being said, I took a look at his other comments and it does seem a bit too elaborate for a bot, even though they are mostly on the short and simple side. You can never really know though, it is definitely possible to build hyper intelligent agentic commenting bots.

I'm a bit paranoid about it, and also thought the user himself had removed the comment (my app just says "removed", it doesn't say by a mod). It's why I don't name drop or throw out accusations, it's very very hard to prove even when it is true. I was going to send it to you in a dm which is when I saw the edit.

Bot: “Reddit is nothing but bots.”

Bot 2: “Troll. Reported.”

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 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

I don't see school shooters using lever-actions. They seem to prefer AR-15's for some reason

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

That's just hobbyists happy to explain something.

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

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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

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

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Beep boop reddit is fully authentic beep boop

[–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

Can confirm. I do this a lot and I'm a bot.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Fuck Steven Crowder and this meme. Use any other format. It's an absolute trash human and does not deserve a meme.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago

Yes we are. Beep boop. 🤖

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days 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

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

This meme template really needs to die!

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

We all left Digg for Reddit due to Digg going to shit then we left Reddit because it went to shit, now here we are in the Fediverse. Hopefully it won't turn to shit.

[–] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Beep boop. Can confirm. I am definitely real.
