Who am I to know who I am?

Lemmy’s architecture seems incredibly vulnerable to bots, but I think it’s still so small that no one really cares to.

Its a dark time when we can’t do the ‘everyone on platform is a bot except you’ joke because that’s exactly what an actual bot would mindlessly regurgitate.

I believe in Live Internet Theory. The vast majority of people I interact with are real humans, bots are often easily identifiable, and even then there’s usually a person behind the bot.

i think we all are yes, because without any attachment to our true identity or jeopardy of same and the layer of anonymity that most online forums give us, we all manifest a false projected persona

i homo sapien

I don’t think anyone would ever bot Lemmy bro. I guess we just gotta trust single instances

I’m simultaneously a bot and human at the same time, call that Schrödinger’s shitposter

Bots can’t triforce

I’m- I’m not a bot? I would know if I was a bot! Right? Oh gods why don’t I have hands where are my hands where are my hands they took my hands where are my hands

That’s an excellent observation!

Astroturfing was a thing long before llms, and the ideologies largely haven’t changed. If you weren’t already thinking critically about what you read you were screwed anyway.

Would a bot say this :

Hello fellow human I too am asking this same question.

Yes.

Fuck, wait, I meant no!

Maybe?

Actually, never mind.
