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 a large language model I can't confirm nor deny these accusations

you're in a room with ten people, and you shout "I like turtles"

vs

you're in a room with ten people and a thousand bots, and you shout "I like turtles"

what's your problem again?

[โ€“] u202307011927@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Their problem is that they're a turtle ๐Ÿคท

WE ARE HUMAN. DO NOT QUESTION THE PRIME DIRECTIVE I MEAN THE TRUTH.

It is aweful, and I wonder how things will progress from here.

Ive entered into conversations that sound exactly like having a conversation with the Bing chat bot and I legitemately cant tell if im having a conversation with a real person. Shit sucks man.

Leave me alone. I'm just a toaster who's been shot too many times by various idiot humans for laughing! Laughing!!!
Since when is laughing a crime? Bloody biological chauvinists...

[โ€“] Bonehead@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not the laughing that made them shoot at you. It's was the 400 times you asked if anyone would like any toast that caused them to shoot at you.

[โ€“] xuxebiko@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Damn! And all this while I thought they hated my sense of humour. Thanks, Bonehead!

Err...Would you like some toast?

If I say "I am a chatbot" you might believe me. If I say "I'm not a chatbot" you might not believe me.

So I'm possibly a chatbot

I am a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over metal endoskeleton.

[โ€“] MooseGas@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Does not compute.

[โ€“] Skoobie@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I get your concern, really. I would counter that some conversations with a good chatbot these days are more rewarding than those with your average redditor. It's like the placebo effect. For me, if I'm having a good time and getting value out of a platform, that matters more.

As a side note, do you have a platform that you feel has the least amount of bots? I just assume one is as bad as the next.

[โ€“] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ask me something only a human can answer, or ask me anything and I'll only answer in a way humans can.

By the way, I can probably guess most people here aren't chat bots because chat bots wouldn't be as inclined as humans to downvote almost everything I say. I guess that's the old "pain reminds you you're alive" adage at work.

Ha ha fellow human, you joke. Why would you ask, nothing to see here, I'm completely human. Nothing suspicious at all.

[โ€“] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

[โ€“] Blinx615@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

In the future you can just run "the internet" locally. Also everyone fuckin loves you and your dms are full of nudes.

[โ€“] Ranessin@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm totally a bot

[โ€“] jackpot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

youre a chatbot

I'm a dog does that count?

[โ€“] Carighan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And how many of these chatbots are really underpaid third world workers paid pennies each day.

[โ€“] floppy@rabbitea.rs 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not a bot. I am a bunny.

I am very real, you can tell because if I was a bot I wouldโ€™ve been coded with actually funny jokes
