Dead internet theory but I doubt chatbots are that advanced yet. They can't write compelling and complex comments that depend on convoluted chains of logic, and respond to novels ideas and topics. Eventually.
Relevant xkcd
I see no problem. Everyone assumes Skynet is a murderbot because any pragmatism we can imagine for the robots would demand we be removed. What if there's another pragmatic solution, i.e. the xkcd punchline? Just . . . rewire people to be nice.
Even the robots in The Matrix claim to have tried to give us a utopia, but it made our minds melt down.
There was a video of a guy who let a chatbot loose on 4chan and it had the whole of /pol/ thinking it was a team or feds. That was using gpt3 as a base.
I saw that but that was a /pol/ chatbot just regurgitating things people said you don't exactly have to write intelligent comments on /pol/, 90% of the people there write like bots. My guess performance in a slower board like /lit/ or somewhere that requires more knowledge of subject matters and where people write more intelligently it would be called out.
I was messing around with that dudes chatbot OpenAssistant and while interesting it fails the same way all the others do once pressed hard enough (which isn't that hard). These bots seem to do best when you just ask them to regurgitate something from their training library. Which is why non programmers are amazed by it's programming skill (copy pasting from github repo's and stackoverflow) vs devs in the field asking it novel questions and not getting anything interesting out of it.
