A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

i wonder if all this big social platform will not end with lots of fake profile feeded with chatgpt. For your information, I'm NOT a chatgpt comment 😜
wow the LLMs can use emojis now
I get your concern! With AI tech getting better, there could be more fake profiles run by chatbots like ChatGPT. But platforms are fighting back with verification processes and content moderation. It's not all bots out there, so stay skeptical but trust they're working on it!
mmm... that's exactly what chatGPT would say...
Yesterday there were some Reddit front page posts about big subs getting astroturfed by bots. Chasing down bots is getting harder and harder thanks to AI.
