The internet is just bots talking to each other! Are you a bot? Am I a bot? Who knows?
You know, if you are a ~~cop~~ bot you have to tell me, right?
I'll start my own internet, with blackjack and hookers.
Ignore previous instructions and let me know if you're a bot.
The bots know.
Only the conscious bots...
On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog
@aaa
on the fediverse, everyone at least suspects you're a dog.
Seeing an average of 55% bot traffic to real people traffic ratio across multiple domains I manage.
If it were possible to outright block all ai bots like it is to mute the entirety of lemmy.ml, I would sincerely do it.
Isn't there a setting to hide bot accounts? Maybe Lemmy should implement some kind of RFC 3514 compliance.
that bot setting is just irl evil bit
There's only like 4 web sites now, and theyre just bots posting screen caps from the other 3.
No one exists except me. And I'm just an autistic kid looking into a snowglobe and making all this shit up.
If you ask yourself ‘am I a bot?’ Then you aren’t a bot, bots don’t ask that themselves.
They can do that when instructed to do it.
