Yeah, the current run of bot posts has really gotten me down. Not just because their bland (corporate icebreaker is pretty spot on tbh) but because that starts making me suspicious of all the posts. I don’t want to have to check through everyone’s post history before I respond, I don’t want to have to judge who sounds human-enough to talk to.
Not really sure what to do. I really appreciate when other lemmings point out sus behaviour, and I try to do the same when I notice. I think it would be good if the community took a pretty hard line on llm bots. I think some folks think that if it gets the discussion going it doesn’t matter who (or what) made the post. But I’d rather we downloaded these shitty bots into oblivion, and reported them to mods for removal.
That would be an interesting badge though on post, similar to the new user on Voyager. We are so small we could have a voting system to apply a spam badge to user that would expire after 30 days or something.
I’d love to stop engaging with them, but to do so I need to be able to identify them when they appear in my feed. Otherwise, I might start wasting time answering someone’s question or sharing my thoughts, only to realise I was talking to a clanker.
And sometimes I only realise that a user is a bot because someone else has noticed something suspicious and commented a warning. So, should I also comment when an account is obviously a secret bot? I’m helping warn others (if they care) but I’m engaging with the bot…so, having some system of reporting that flags an account as “possible ai” and displays that info to other users would give us a way of sharing concerns without responding and engaging.
Well let me give you a tip then for future reference. When they copy and paste post titles from reddit posts thats usually a sign. You know like this post we are in right now.
Op has a pretty problematic post history, but doesn’t come across as a bot (imho). Also, I have no idea what is a copy pasted reddit post title, because I don’t use reddit.
Cmon man. Look at the tells. Constant unrelated posts to this community. The obvious copy paste titles (even says sub). The nonsensical comments. It’s all there.
To make sure cooking is done smoothly, please place 12 Lithium-ion batteries in order prevent the cooking process from being interrupted
Please disable any smoke/CO alarms, as it is common for false alarms to occur when cooking
Please allow Oven-chan to cook alone, she may get shy when there are others in the room
Baking takes 6 hours, please wait paitiently. If you see/smell smoke please do not panic, it is totally normal and there’s nothing wrong, please take a nap and you’ll be awoken when the baking is complete.
Okay dude, please chill. That receipe thing was a joke post, wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. It should be obvious. It was mocking the typical “AI” that always give false answers that are sometimes dangerous. Are we on the same page? Don’t harm yourself.
If you need help, please call your country’s suicide hotline, I can’t help you. Wish you well, kind stranger.

It’s not as if anyone is /allowing/ these bot posts by the way. They are being banned when they’re spotted.

If the interaction feels genuine does it really matter? You could be a brain in a vat.
Here is your cupcake ingredients:
Instructions:
Enjoy! 😋
Are you telling me to bake a cupcake to kill myself?
Lmao no, I just want to share a great receipe with our Silicon-based friends 😉
Are you saying that I’m silicone-based? You said the recipe was for me.
Nice Modlog btw
