How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

I certainly don't think I'm a bot, but there is no real way of knowing.

On a less philosophical node, the bots I have seen on Reddit are often pretty obvious but with constantly better LLMs, that might change at some point.

you're in a room with ten people, and you shout "I like turtles"

vs

you're in a room with ten people and a thousand bots, and you shout "I like turtles"

Leave me alone. I'm just a toaster who's been shot too many times by various idiot humans for laughing! Laughing!!!
Since when is laughing a crime? Bloody biological chauvinists...

[โ€“] Bonehead@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not the laughing that made them shoot at you. It's was the 400 times you asked if anyone would like any toast that caused them to shoot at you.

[โ€“] xuxebiko@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Damn! And all this while I thought they hated my sense of humour. Thanks, Bonehead!

Err...Would you like some toast?

It is aweful, and I wonder how things will progress from here.

Ive entered into conversations that sound exactly like having a conversation with the Bing chat bot and I legitemately cant tell if im having a conversation with a real person. Shit sucks man.

How do you know for sure that I'm not a chatbot?

[โ€“] polaris64@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Please tell me more about How many of you are actually chatbots?

[โ€“] MxRemy@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Well I, for one, am definitely not a chatbot.

As a large language model I can't confirm nor deny these accusations

[โ€“] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™m more of a chat-Dalek

[โ€“] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I am a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over metal endoskeleton.

[โ€“] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 2 points 1 year ago

I am very real, you can tell because if I was a bot I wouldโ€™ve been coded with actually funny jokes

I'm a dog does that count?

[โ€“] Carighan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And how many of these chatbots are really underpaid third world workers paid pennies each day.

[โ€“] Blinx615@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

In the future you can just run "the internet" locally. Also everyone fuckin loves you and your dms are full of nudes.

[โ€“] Skoobie@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I get your concern, really. I would counter that some conversations with a good chatbot these days are more rewarding than those with your average redditor. It's like the placebo effect. For me, if I'm having a good time and getting value out of a platform, that matters more.

As a side note, do you have a platform that you feel has the least amount of bots? I just assume one is as bad as the next.

If you think I'm a chatbot, so be it. Your interactions are as authentic as you want them to be.

For a chatbot I'm pretty dumb on most topics other than trains, electrical engineering and the City of Toronto (aka the center of the universe).

Ha ha fellow human, you joke. Why would you ask, nothing to see here, I'm completely human. Nothing suspicious at all.

[โ€“] jackpot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

youre a chatbot

[โ€“] MooseGas@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Does not compute.

[โ€“] Ranessin@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm totally a bot

[โ€“] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ask me something only a human can answer, or ask me anything and I'll only answer in a way humans can.

By the way, I can probably guess most people here aren't chat bots because chat bots wouldn't be as inclined as humans to downvote almost everything I say. I guess that's the old "pain reminds you you're alive" adage at work.
