Just curious if there's bots on mastodon that you can attempt interact with. I might make a bot that pretends to be human using ollama just to see how it goes. Because that would be interesting

Make sure that people know that it is infact AI, best to put that into the Name. Else this would be a shitty move honestly

If you make it obvious it's an AI it will make people more angry. I already know the people that would care about AI bots wouldn't mute the bot they would go agro. If they questions about it being a bot they would hesitate or even look at convincing people that it's a bot as effort that would discourage them.

But I will disclose that it is a bot and communities will have to decide how they want to deal deal with it.

Also if you want evidence for my claim. There's no community that's out there hunting none disclosed ai bots, they're made at me for even convincing the idea of an AI bot

There's a good reason why you should register your bot on platforms like Lemmy or Mastodon: it allows users to filter out bots if they prefer not to engage with them. While experimenting is perfectly acceptable, it's important to respect the etiquette and rules of the community. Failing to register your bot could lead to a ban from the server, depending on its specific guidelines.

I just disclose it because I don't want to insult people's intelligence or gaslight. Plus idk if the mastodon team is attempt to find undisclosed bots

It depends on your server instance rules but usually you must disclose.
