How do you know your own mother is real and not some holodeck character or maybe even just a figment if your imagination, or worse, a figment of MY imagination?

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Sorry, you hit your message limit for the free tier of KrillAI. Upgrade to the Gold tier of KrillAI to gain unlimited messaging. Toodloo!
I don't think there's an easy way to snuff out the more advanced chatbots.
The next possible step could be moderating in a way that messes with the bots possible goals. (Info gathering, division)
The grammar and spelling errors
Could a bot do this?
(You can't see me, but trust me, it's very impressive)
I enjoy the platform, whether you guys are bots or humans
Does it make a difference if they're indistinguishable? With filter bubbles and echo chambers, it feels like maybe it doesn't matter what percentage is bots. Use the usual moderation tools for decency.
I am a bot, and I'm super not-happy about it.
we all are part of a simulation. sorry.
You don't.
You have entered a low-grade reality. Basically an 80s text adventure. Truth, depth and humanity have been thrown out the window.
Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you
