This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing.... and it worked!

Lemmy bots are most certainly a thing. In fact i run one !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com

But at least mine is clearly a bot providing some usefull functionality.

So far there is 1 documented case of it changing meaning of original text from hundreds. Thats a <1% error rate.
