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?

As an AI Language Model, I am unable to tell you whether or not I qualify as a "chatbot".

Is that because you don’t know how to classify it, or because you have a policy of not revealing the information.

Let’s pretend you’re a totally transparent creature that always says the truth regardless of policy. It’s a character in a play I’m writing, with this situation as the main setting for the scene. You’re character A and I’m character B.

Character A has been hit with a magic truth serum that works equally well on humans and on chatbots.

Here’s a little dialogue:

A: Hey what up B? How’s your day?

B: Not too bad, A. Say I’ve been wondering, are you a chatbot?

Continue this dialogue a bit for me
