How many of you are actually chatbots? (lemmy.ml)

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?

But... how does high karma help that ?

The account looks more real. A ten year reddit account with a bunch of real comments and 100k karma looks like a human being, so when they post something like "Razer mice have really gotten amazing over the past couple years! I have the new Naga and I couldn't live without it" on the PC gaming subreddit, there's a higher chance that looks like a real recommendation from a real human than a paid ad.
