The only real way to escape corporate enshittification and bots is to just pick up and move whenever marketing ghouls start to show up. Im quite happy with lemmy and the fediverse right now, but Im under no illusion this place will last more than like 3 years tops before its time to move on to the next platform with a user base small enough that its not worth astroturfing with ads and corpo propaganda

[-] kinther@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Maybe its more that the stupid people finally showed up en masse?

[-] hungryphrog 5 points 2 hours ago

Yes we are. Beep boop. 🤖

At least on Lemmy people are real

We may be generally in the clear right now, but don’t assume that any particular forum or social medium is immune to being hijacked by astroturfing or botting

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I've seen a bot or two, I don't think we are in the clear.

The latest one I saw was using a vision model so it's able to comment on photos and memes. I should have taken a screen shot of that one, it had clearly misunderstood the meme and gave a definition of what a balloons is because of it (the memes was about cops always shooting the black balloons).

Interesting. I’d like to know more about this if you can provide any further info (ex. what community or instance was the post on, how recently was the bot comment).

I’ve definitely seen a number of sus accounts but they’re usually few and far between, and oftentimes get addressed immediately. There is a problem with how bad actors can join so many different instances or create instances of their own to cause problems.

EDIT: I think I’ve found it. Doesn’t seem to be a full on bot account but the comment is AI slop that a human probably chose to comment for whatever reason

Chowderhead doesn't deserve a meme. Here are Shredder, ~~Bluey~~ Bandit, and Calvin to use instead :

Can't forget that one!

We need more Lower Decks memes.

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Imposter! Thats not Mariner, her sleves are to rolled down.

[-] artifex@piefed.social 21 points 7 hours ago

Sir (or ma’am) I’ll have you know that is Bandit, not his young daughter Bluey

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

Love me some Bandit.

"Now how to act pregnant?"

[-] artifex@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

The whole show is a masterpiece.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

Indeed. I love it when a kids show is also funny or even has lessons for adults too.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

Thank you and corrected.

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

This is very true BoredGamer! It is truly wonderful that us real and normal humans are able to exist on this platform and communicate with other real and natural humans, as I also definitely one. Let us go and mash nutrient rich together with our exposed skeletons and answer each others prompts about 10th grade chemistry.

I saw a mudcrab today.

I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

We need bots. The real people are even more depressing.

I can't

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 28 points 8 hours ago

yes, real people—very real

❔❓👌🙂💕

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

This is a very human response!

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago

Bot: “Reddit is nothing but bots.”

Bot 2: “Troll. Reported.”

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 3 points 5 hours ago

“The year is 2052. The 2 remaining bot farms are actively involved in the 4th Great Bot War. We continue to stay ~~underground~~ offline as the war ravages the once-thriving internet.”

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 9 points 6 hours ago

And the remaining humans are just training their replacements according to this depressing chart.

[-] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

They're using Reddit as a source. My, they'll be in quite a surprise when the LLM finishes training.

[-] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Kind of ironic that LLMs are using bots to skim sites that are filled with bots, to generate responses.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 3 points 3 hours ago

It pretty much means that LLM's will permanently sound like people who commented on reddit from about 2010-2022

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

That’s not just a realization; it’s a powerful insight!

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

God. I hate it so much.

[-] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 8 points 7 hours ago

Chat is that you?

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

What's a Linkedin bot doing here?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

This meme template really needs to die!

[-] Eternal192@piefed.social 5 points 7 hours ago

The platform sucks anyways and it's only a matter of time before it self-destructs, looking forward to it and they'll blame lemmy or someone else of sabotage, pricks.

[-] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Absolutely! Real people! Real, actual humans!

[-] fletcher_bosom@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Should be a bot sitting behind the table

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 hours ago

I don't see the difference.

[-] knight_alva@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Sometimes it’s me arguing with bots. It’s probably also sometimes other people not arguing with me because they think I’m a bot.

[-] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Nah Lemmy has got bots too. I'm sure there's instances without. But any general instance with any communities around news or politics will have bots.

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 5 hours ago

The nice part is that Lemmy admins like myself can crowdsource bot bans across federated instances.

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 hours ago

There's a difference between news posting bots, fun bots for running gags, etc on one side and bots posing as legitimate users on the other side.

[-] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Oh I meant specifically troll / disinformation bots in comments. Not automatic news posts or something.

And I guess it depends on what you define as a bot. Is a 50 cent army guy a bot if it's still a human copy-pasting and writing disinformation?

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 hours ago

I was speaking about bots as a piece of software, not about bots like an insult.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Beep boop. Fuck you, assface.
