A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In the age of AI-spam, I now treat typos in webpages as a good sign (lemmy.ml)

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

It is an AI. It's a frontend for ChatGPT. All I did was coax the AI to behave in a specific way, which anyone else using these tools is capable of doing.

As an AI language model, it is impossible for me to convince you that I am a real human being. :P

Also re-reading the conversation, I think I misunderstood you previous comment's intent. If you were meaning if an AI could post comments on Lemmy naturally, like a real person could? Yeah... I don't see why not. You can make a bot that reads posts and outputs their own already. Just have an AI connected to it and it could act like any other user, and be virtually undetectable if trained well enough.
