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.
If you really don't want to see them then stop engaging with them.
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.
It's not as if anyone is /allowing/ these bot posts by the way. They are being banned when they're spotted.
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.
If the interaction feels genuine does it really matter? You could be a brain in a vat.

Are you telling me to bake a cupcake to kill myself?

Are you saying that I’m silicone-based? You said the recipe was for me.
