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.

What's to stop that from happening to Lemmy?
The moderator to user ratio on the fediverse is orders of magnitude higher than commercial platforms. Even Lemmy.world (a large, loosely moderated Lemmy instance) has again, orders of magnitude more eyes on its content than reddit.
This means that even if a chatbot gets invented that is impossible to distinguish form a human, mods will more readily be able to tell if it is pushing a narrative/shilling products.
If the lemmy devs implemented AI I'd assume it would be controllable by the instance maintainers. Instances that dont want it should be able to disable it. If thats not an option I'm sure someone would fork it and remove all the AI stuff.
If you have a good AI model, how could you tell?
Welp we're screwed. I guess go back to IRC until the AI invade that too.
