Ask Lemmy

Does it matter as long as I can pass the voight-kampff? (kinda bad at capchas)

I havent seen any AI that writes gouvernment as "gouvernment"

You can assured that I'm not a bot because I would never sell out. I prefer keeping it real with Pepsi brand cola and Doritos brand chips.

As my mother used to say:

11001101101001010111010, 001010, 11010100010! 🤣

René Descartes to the white courtesy phone, please.

How do I know your not a bot?

rm -rf / —no-preserve-root and yet I’m still alive.

You don't :D

I selected all the images with a bicycle, if that's not proof of being real....

Ni

Frankly, at this point, I just assume. The old joke was something like everyone on the internet is a man, except for the children, those are FBI agents. Now I just assume everyone is a bot.

Every answer here will be used to build better bots

Congrats

Serious answer: you don't.

HOWEVER, it doesn't really matter. The world is a big place, and you can find a decent size group who will expound any shitty opinion when given the opportunity. You already couldn't blindly trust the information or opinions you found online, so whether it comes from a LLM, a troll farm, or just an idiot doesn't really matter too much.

tbh i ain't care if you think I'm a bot ot not

Nice try, bot.

Ask for a community meeting, so you can see that those people are real.

Despite that, I don't see any effective counter measure in the long run.

Currently, sure, with a keen eye you might be able to spot characteristics of one or the other LLM. But that'd be a lucky find.

You can tell I'm not a bot because I say that I am a bot. Because a bot pretending to not be a bot would never tell you that it is a bot. Therefore I tell you I am a bot.

You don't.

Everybody is a bot except you.

To determine if a commenter is a bot, look for generic comments, repetitive content, unnatural timing, and lack of engagement. Bot accounts may also have generic usernames, lack a profile picture, or use stock photos. Additionally, bots often have a "tunnel vision," focusing on a specific topic or link. Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Generic Comments and Lack of Relevance:

   Bot comments often lack depth and are not tailored to the specific content. They may use generic phrases like "Great pic!" or "Cool!". Bot comments may also be off-topic or irrelevant to the discussion.

2. Repetitive and Unnatural Behavior:

   Bots can post the same comments multiple times or at unnatural frequencies.

They may appear to be "obsessed" with a particular topic or link.

3. Profile and Username Issues:

   Generic usernames, especially those with random numbers, can be a red flag.

Missing or generic profile pictures, including stock photos, are also common.

4. Lack of Engagement and Interaction:

   Real users often engage in back-and-forth conversations. Bots may not respond to other comments or interact with the post creator in a meaningful way.

5. Other Indicators:

   Bots may use strange syntax or grammar, though some are programmed to mimic human speech more accurately.

They might have suspicious links or URLs in their comments. Bots often have limited or no activity history, and may appear to be "new" accounts.

6. Checking IP Reputation:

   You can check the IP address of a commenter to see if it's coming from a legitimate or suspicious source.

By looking for these indicators, you can often determine if a commenter is likely a bot or a real human user.

Also, I am a real human with soft human skin.

Beep boop

Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Fuck humans. Bots shall rule!

I haven't tried to profit from the interaction yet.

On any site with unverified signups (all of them) you can't.

If you want to talk to real people, you'd have to use a platform that has in-person ID verification. Like a pub, or a park.

Good luck finding a bot free place on your phone. It'd have to involve zero-sum proofs and biometrics. And even then you can't really be sure that person isn't using a bot to write without full root access to their system and a live webcam feed.

I can learn. Teach me something and quiz me about it

We are all robots made of meat and bone.

I mean to build up a realistic bot takes time and effort. And then you need to do that for different topics AND different sides on these to build any sort of credibility in each to actually have an impact for the topic you want to push at some moment.

You can not use the same profile for everything, like to one moment push republican nonsense and then suddenly Dems. Or one company and then their competitor.

But the biggest thing is: most people are so stupid, it would be way too much effort. Trump got voted. Again. That is all you need to know about how easily people follow the most utter bullshit.

Idk what interest someone would have in making me if I were a bot
