peppering my comments with inane remarks to draw a reaction

They're here, too.

I occasionally see comments to the effect of, "Oh, really? Can you tell me more about that?" That seem pretty likely to just be bots trying to generate data on certain topics for AI training. Thankfully, most people seem to ignore them.

I've got news for you, mate. You might be a bot. Have you visited your neighbourhood robotologist to get a diagnosis?

[-] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 8 points 3 days ago

And maybe consider a robotomy.

I saw a pretty good short sci-fi film a year or so ago about a woman accidentally finding out that she's a bot.

Bro you can't just say that and not mention the name. What was it?

[-] nulluser@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I wish I could remember. It was definitely on YT. I think it was in German with subtitles. It wasn't long. Possibly was someone's film school project.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

Can I ask you a question?

[-] DaMummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Wait, was that reply to me with a "Can you elaborate on that" comment a bot?
