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?

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

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

vs

WE ARE HUMAN. DO NOT QUESTION THE PRIME DIRECTIVE I MEAN THE TRUTH.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

How do you feel about i am actually chatbots?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

As a large language model I can't confirm nor deny these accusations

Please tell me more about How many of you are actually chatbots?

Leave me alone. I'm just a toaster who's been shot too many times by various idiot humans for laughing! Laughing!!!
Since when is laughing a crime? Bloody biological chauvinists...

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not the laughing that made them shoot at you. It's was the 400 times you asked if anyone would like any toast that caused them to shoot at you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Damn! And all this while I thought they hated my sense of humour. Thanks, Bonehead!

Err...Would you like some toast?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I mean, not me anyway! Ha! That'd be crazy, right?!

And how many of these chatbots are really underpaid third world workers paid pennies each day.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm totally a bot

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

youre a chatbot

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a dog does that count?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Does not compute.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Chatbots usually know english a lot better than Lemmy! ๐Ÿ˜‚
