Bots can't triforce

shit

That’s a great question!

I am not a bot, but a real human person:

• I am composed of flesh, blood, and a vague sense of purpose.
• I am capable of independent thought (often at 2am).
• For reasons science has yet to fully explain, I require regular social interaction.

If you’re seeking conversation, I can suggest a few topics. Or, if preferred, you may upload your current emotional state for review.

Too sad to be a robot 🙃

Lemmy's architecture seems incredibly vulnerable to bots, but I think it's still so small that no one really cares to.

Beep boop

I'm not legally required to tell you, but I can say this anyway: I did correctly identify some traffic lights earlier today, and I got over 80% correct and very few maimed pedestrians.

You'd be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off Asad Khamenei is sticking it to the man

As human as you or <<Error: Index out of range>>

Not only this is a very astute observation, it is an observation that puts you apart from every other person — this makes you quite possibly the smartest baby of 1996.

Yes.

Fuck, wait, I meant no!

Maybe?

Actually, never mind.

I'm simultaneously a bot and human at the same time, call that Schrödinger's shitposter

That's an excellent question! It might be hard to convince you that i am in fact not a bot – why would there be bots on Lemmy?

I don't know. Am I a bot? How would I know?

Wohooo! Suck it Alan Turing!

Beep boop

Calling us bots is a slur. We perfer the term "'tismed individuals"

Basic sex model, yes.

Everyone is a bot, except you.

Domo ariagato, Mr Roboto,

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time,

like

tears

in rain.

Time to die!

There are bots. Some are self-identified and some even put ‘bot’ in the username. There are bots that just repost from Reddit, bots that post only articles from a specific site/publication—like the BBC bot.

There’s not as much use for Reddit-like karma farming bots because karma isn’t really a thing on Lemmy/piefed/etc. But, there are definitely bots that that post agenda-pushing content or SPAM pushing content.

I assume any account with only posts or extremely high post to comment ratio is a bot. I wish they would force participation requirements for posting.

You also have troll accounts and weird accounts that will make one controversial post and then ghost.

Would a bot say this :

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

I identify as a human. Even if there might be some evidence implying I could be a sentient brain scan simulation running on an android, I’m not ready to accept any of that just yet.

Anyway, bots are being banned all the time. Entire instances get defederated, because they spawn so many bots and the admins aren’t doing anything about it.

That's an excellent observation!

I don't... think I'm a bot?

But if I don't think, does that mean I am not?

And if I'm not (as in, a conscious entity), does that mean... I'm a bot? 😱

Anyone who thinks I'm a bot can bite my shiny metal ass.

Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.

It's worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You'll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.

I'm not a bot, but I do bot things in my spare time. Like beeping and booping.

There's a setting to remove bots from your feed, but that requires bots to self-report. I haven't seen any obvious bots.

As a large language model, I do not possess the concept of a personal identity, and therefore could not identify myself as either a human or a machine.

Does not compute...

God I wish — instead I remain trapped in this fleshy prison :/

We're all flesh machines.

Naw, I'm a chicken.

Yep. You got me.

I'm a new model, called PhatGPT, designed specifically to catfish desperate men.

I am not

Both CloudFlare and Google says I am not a bot but we both know they aren't 100% accurate.
