You can’t escape probability these days.

The whole world is part of a Turing test nowadays.

I’m a bot…

But if I were a man

I’d go to Japan

Maybe swim in the Seine

And learn to speak French

I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand

And finally do, what I could, 'cause I can

If I were a man!

On YouTube comments especially. It is rampant with bots.

If you really feel this way, I would strongly recommend limiting your time spent on the internet. Your time should be valuable to you. If you’re not happy with what you spend your time on, then do something else.

I personally couldn’t care less if the people I respond to are real. I only reply if I feel like I have something useful to contribute and it will still be useful to others even if I’m replying to a bot. If something makes me mad or hopeless or whatever, I just move on.

Beep boop.

If were all bots, what are the humans doing? Living in a utopia and only interfacing in person?

This is the one place where it’s not all bots.

Except for me, I eat wires for breakfast, and batteries for lunch. And then for dinner I’ll make spaghetti because sometimes bots just love a good plate of pasta.

Hi, I’m Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick ;)

Tfw billionaires outsourced making music, drawing art, talking shit on the internet and all other creative interests - and still we gotta go to work and do all the drudgery every day.

Build something useful you resource parasites.

Edit: also naming yourself cuntchow kinda makes it look like you’re here to troll, which might be why you get “triggering replies”.

Wrong platform?

I stopped using Reddit for this reason. I show my identity on Lemmy so people can find out I’m an actual person that exists, even on web archive going back pre-genAI/LLMs. If you wanna check, feel free to call me lol

I honestly hope that the fediverse is mostly free of it.

It’s not crazy to be concerned or even feel anxiety about not being able to tell if a post is a bot or a person. But being wildly hyperbolic isn’t helping anyone.

I’ve been chatting on the Internet since the days of usenet, and back then there was no algorithm, or advertising or any motivation to drive engagement beyond our natural human desire to communicate. And it really wasn’t that different than lemmy. You still got trolls, bullshit and unreasonable political takes, as well as genuine questions, thoughtful answers and useful information.

Real world personal development and action are important, and you should definitely prioritise that over chatting to strangers on the Internet. But “scribo ergo sum”, I know I’m here asking questions and appreciating answers and discussions, and I know other humans irl who use lemmy, so it would seem logical that some (perhaps most) of the users here are humans and they too may appreciate my answers and discussion.

You meant to post this on reddit, right?
