Chowderhead doesn't deserve a meme. Here are Shredder, ~~Bluey~~ Bandit, and Calvin to use instead :

We need more Lower Decks memes.

Imposter! Thats not Mariner, her sleves are to rolled down.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Can't forget that one!

[–] artifex@piefed.social 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sir (or ma’am) I’ll have you know that is Bandit, not his young daughter Bluey

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Thank you and corrected.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Love me some Bandit.

The whole show is a masterpiece.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

Indeed. I love it when a kids show is also funny or even has lessons for adults too.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (3 children)

yes, real people—very real

At least on Lemmy people are real

We may be generally in the clear right now, but don’t assume that any particular forum or social medium is immune to being hijacked by astroturfing or botting

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen a bot or two, I don't think we are in the clear.

The latest one I saw was using a vision model so it's able to comment on photos and memes. I should have taken a screen shot of that one, it had clearly misunderstood the meme and gave a definition of what a balloons is because of it (the memes was about cops always shooting the black balloons).

[–] s@piefed.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Interesting. I’d like to know more about this if you can provide any further info (ex. what community or instance was the post on, how recently was the bot comment).

I’ve definitely seen a number of sus accounts but they’re usually few and far between, and oftentimes get addressed immediately. There is a problem with how bad actors can join so many different instances or create instances of their own to cause problems.

EDIT: I think I’ve found it. Doesn’t seem to be a full on bot account but the comment is AI slop that a human probably chose to comment for whatever reason

Bot: “Reddit is nothing but bots.”

Bot 2: “Troll. Reported.”

“The year is 2052. The 2 remaining bot farms are actively involved in the 4th Great Bot War. We continue to stay ~~underground~~ offline as the war ravages the once-thriving internet.”

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

That’s a great observation BoredGamer! 👀

We here on Lemmy are definitely all human🧍and not bots 🤖unlike Reddit. That is why our conversations here — such as this one — are so natural, genial, and genuine. ❤️🗣️🍍

By the way, based on your recent searches, you may interested in CalExotics Boundless Silicone Curve Pegging Kit, Strap On Dildo Harness with Set of 3 Anal Plugs - SE-2700-80-3 would you like me to order it for you?

That’s not just a realization; it’s a powerful insight!

And the remaining humans are just training their replacements according to this depressing chart.

[–] BoredGamer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Kind of ironic that LLMs are using bots to skim sites that are filled with bots, to generate responses.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It pretty much means that LLM's will permanently sound like people who commented on reddit from about 2010-2022

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago
[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

it's sad, because when you're an expert in a field you know just how wrong reddit can be, while being so adamant and cohesive in insisting on being right.

I know it's no secret that AI gets shit wrong but... maybe they're trained on wrong things too

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

This meme template really needs to die!

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Howdy, fellow humans!

It's a good day to be breathing air.

um... my favorite hobby is drinking water...

(Seriously tho, I already sus 50% of Lemmy users too, a lot of front page posts have the weird "mainstream social media uncanny feel" to it, at this point I treat the social-media/forums as entertainment, I don't really take it too seriously. If I didn't witness it myself, it can be potentially fake. That's how I operate in this world)

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

And gun nuts. Link any article about armed police or military and you get dissertations about what is an assault rifle or not as if it makes any fucking difference.

The only real way to escape corporate enshittification and bots is to just pick up and move whenever marketing ghouls start to show up. Im quite happy with lemmy and the fediverse right now, but Im under no illusion this place will last more than like 3 years tops before its time to move on to the next platform with a user base small enough that its not worth astroturfing with ads and corpo propaganda

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is very true BoredGamer! It is truly wonderful that us real and normal humans are able to exist on this platform and communicate with other real and natural humans, as I also definitely one. Let us go and mash nutrient rich together with our exposed skeletons and answer each others prompts about 10th grade chemistry.

I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

[–] Eternal192@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

The platform sucks anyways and it's only a matter of time before it self-destructs, looking forward to it and they'll blame lemmy or someone else of sabotage, pricks.

[–] YashaB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

We had a good thing going then. Now we have to just let go.

[–] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nah Lemmy has got bots too. I'm sure there's instances without. But any general instance with any communities around news or politics will have bots.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's a difference between news posting bots, fun bots for running gags, etc on one side and bots posing as legitimate users on the other side.

[–] RedPandaRaider@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Oh I meant specifically troll / disinformation bots in comments. Not automatic news posts or something.

And I guess it depends on what you define as a bot. Is a 50 cent army guy a bot if it's still a human copy-pasting and writing disinformation?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

I was speaking about bots as a piece of software, not about bots like an insult.

There are bots on Lemmy already but they don't argue and they only post article links to some community.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago

Can confirm. I do this a lot and I'm a bot.
