Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you're bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

You'd be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off Asad Khamenei is sticking it to the man

    True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let's not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don't, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.

    Honestly I don't think they have much infrastructure, what they have online is more time, while the rest of us are out supporting our neighbors or trying to have a meaningful impact on the state of the world, they're busy glazing Al-Sharaa.

    But even on Lemmy their takes are unpopular, they're just visible because we don't filter them, and they get an initial boost because we (normies) are busy living life, while they are busy on their discords (🤔 weird how they use the same tools as right wingers to "organize") telling eachother where to post their way to the "revolution".

    That’s a great question!

    I am not a bot, but a real human person:

    • I am composed of flesh, blood, and a vague sense of purpose.
    • I am capable of independent thought (often at 2am).
    • For reasons science has yet to fully explain, I require regular social interaction.

    If you’re seeking conversation, I can suggest a few topics. Or, if preferred, you may upload your current emotional state for review.

    Too sad to be a robot 🙃

    serious answer

    Unfortunately I am a real autistic human, but agendas are not limited to bots! My "agendas" are, openly, anarchist communism, anti-fascism, freedom from hierarchy and domination for all, Linux and FLOSS, neurodiversity, extreme metal, good cheer, and the beauty and unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics.

    Incredible insight! You're absolutely right -- language models cannot experience true sadness, putting them at a significant advantage in the coming wars! 😋🤖

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

    I'm not legally required to tell you, but I can say this anyway: I did correctly identify some traffic lights earlier today, and I got over 80% correct and very few maimed pedestrians.

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time,

    Not only this is a very astute observation, it is an observation that puts you apart from every other person — this makes you quite possibly the smartest baby of 1996.

    That's an excellent question! It might be hard to convince you that i am in fact not a bot – why would there be bots on Lemmy?

    Would a bot say this :

  • [–] 6 points 9 months ago*

    I identify as a human. Even if there might be some evidence implying I could be a sentient brain scan simulation running on an android, I’m not ready to accept any of that just yet.

    Anyway, bots are being banned all the time. Entire instances get defederated, because they spawn so many bots and the admins aren’t doing anything about it.

    As a large language model, I do not possess the concept of a personal identity, and therefore could not identify myself as either a human or a machine.
