It’s on the internet, so there are bots.

Who am I to know who I am?

Its a dark time when we can’t do the ‘everyone on platform is a bot except you’ joke because that’s exactly what an actual bot would mindlessly regurgitate.

Lemmy’s architecture seems incredibly vulnerable to bots, but I think it’s still so small that no one really cares to.

i think we all are yes, because without any attachment to our true identity or jeopardy of same and the layer of anonymity that most online forums give us, we all manifest a false projected persona

I believe in Live Internet Theory. The vast majority of people I interact with are real humans, bots are often easily identifiable, and even then there’s usually a person behind the bot.

Bots can’t triforce

shit

I’m simultaneously a bot and human at the same time, call that Schrödinger’s shitposter

That’s an excellent observation!

I’m- I’m not a bot? I would know if I was a bot! Right? Oh gods why don’t I have hands where are my hands where are my hands they took my hands where are my hands

Astroturfing was a thing long before llms, and the ideologies largely haven’t changed. If you weren’t already thinking critically about what you read you were screwed anyway. Which people largely weren’t and, as a result, were largely already screwed anyway.

Would a bot say this :

Yes.

Fuck, wait, I meant no!

Maybe?

Actually, never mind.

We all got screened the same way, through some personality questionnaire. Im pretty sure there’s some bots that passed. Like if people can scam through interviews,.there’s a way.
