(Meta) What's up with the recent influx of posts here and on nostupidquestions asking borderline insane questions as if written by people who have never encountered another human before? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I don’t mean this in a rude way. Feels like the past week or so has had some bizarre questions asked.

Noticed that as well, it's absolutely ridiculous. But judging by the amount of serious replies most people don't seem to care.

Any examples so we don’t just have to guess at what you and OP saw and neglected to highlight the ones in question?

This one comes to mind https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/30857370

That's wild. Clearly AI.

So the value is getting a reputation on Lemmy to then influence or peddle shit?

Or is it a testing ground?

No human writes like that.

Okay I can't figure it out, what makes it obviously AI?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Damn bro you gonna do me like that 😂

[–] secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

No... This makes you seem real but based on that post I will always know you are AI.

I have come to conclude that anyone posting a serious life question including drama on the internet is a bot.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you might be an NVIDIA H100 GPU deep down.

I wish I was. I could just turn myself off.

[–] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

but can you turn yourself on? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

How is that post borderline insane? It's a lot of unnecessary detail, but outgrowing your high school mates is a pretty common thing that people sometimes don't know how to handle.
