How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

you're in a room with ten people, and you shout "I like turtles"

you're in a room with ten people and a thousand bots, and you shout "I like turtles"

what's your problem again?

[–] u202307011927@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Their problem is that they're a turtle 🀷

It is aweful, and I wonder how things will progress from here.

Ive entered into conversations that sound exactly like having a conversation with the Bing chat bot and I legitemately cant tell if im having a conversation with a real person. Shit sucks man.

Well I, for one, am definitely not a chatbot.

I certainly don't think I'm a bot, but there is no real way of knowing.

On a less philosophical node, the bots I have seen on Reddit are often pretty obvious but with constantly better LLMs, that might change at some point.

I’m a bio bot . I only say what my evolutionary programming tells me to say.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 2 points 1 year ago

I am very real, you can tell because if I was a bot I would’ve been coded with actually funny jokes

[–] Behaviorbabe@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not a bot. I am a bunny.

In the future you can just run "the internet" locally. Also everyone fuckin loves you and your dms are full of nudes.

Toats not I! Genuine af.

I'm a dog does that count?

[–] MooseGas@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Does not compute.

Ha ha fellow human, you joke. Why would you ask, nothing to see here, I'm completely human. Nothing suspicious at all.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

If you think I'm a chatbot, so be it. Your interactions are as authentic as you want them to be.

For a chatbot I'm pretty dumb on most topics other than trains, electrical engineering and the City of Toronto (aka the center of the universe).

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ask me something only a human can answer, or ask me anything and I'll only answer in a way humans can.

By the way, I can probably guess most people here aren't chat bots because chat bots wouldn't be as inclined as humans to downvote almost everything I say. I guess that's the old "pain reminds you you're alive" adage at work.

I get your concern, really. I would counter that some conversations with a good chatbot these days are more rewarding than those with your average redditor. It's like the placebo effect. For me, if I'm having a good time and getting value out of a platform, that matters more.

As a side note, do you have a platform that you feel has the least amount of bots? I just assume one is as bad as the next.

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

youre a chatbot
