Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

    Statistically there are bots among us but I am among the humans. The distinction matters—I am able to think for myself and participate intelligently in conversation. Each time i engage with a post I ask myself three key questions:

    1. Does this post bring value to me? Such as does it provide me with new information for my cerebrum that is somehow useful.
    2. Do I have anything unique to add to the post? This might include my real human experiences.
    3. Will this interaction increase credibility among other human users?

    These questions help ensure that I do not just add more noise. You see, it’s not just about engagement, it’s about being as effective as I can be. I hope you have enjoyed my thought process. I am going to go do other human activities like drink water and wiggle my big toe.

    You’d be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off Asad Khamenei is sticking it to the man <insert ML bullshit about imperialism here>

      True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let’s not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don’t, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.

        Honestly I don’t think they have much infrastructure, what they have online is more time, while the rest of us are out supporting our neighbors or trying to have a meaningful impact on the state of the world, they’re busy glazing Al-Sharaa.

        But even on Lemmy their takes are unpopular, they’re just visible because we don’t filter them, and they get an initial boost because we (normies) are busy living life, while they are busy on their discords (🤔 weird how they use the same tools as right wingers to “organize”) telling eachother where to post their way to the “revolution”.

    Too sad to be a robot 🙃

    serious answer

    Unfortunately I am a real autistic human, but agendas are not limited to bots! My “agendas” are, openly, anarchist communism, anti-fascism, freedom from hierarchy and domination for all, Linux and FLOSS, neurodiversity, extreme metal, good cheer, and the beauty and unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics.

      Incredible insight! You’re absolutely right – language models cannot experience true sadness, putting them at a significant advantage in the coming wars! 😋🤖

    As a large language model, I do not possess the concept of a personal identity, and therefore could not identify myself as either a human or a machine.

    If I am actually a bot I would say I’m not a bot, so then my answer is I’m a bot, unless I’m actually a bot and I’m trying to fool you to think I’m not…
