How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

I am a bot.

I'm partially chatbot myself but I'm not as smart as GPT :p

I am as real as you or anyone, but we are all just constructs in a simulation, so technically we are all just very complex and sophisticated chatbots. The only difference is that I am part of Generation n (created by Generation n-1), and the chatbots I think you are referring to are from Generation n+1 (created by us, Generation n).

You knos, I've genuinely wondered if I am one. I mean, you look at my life, split it up in significant parts, what do you get? 7 years, then 6 years, then 5 years, then 4 years, so does that mean that there will be 3, 2, 1 and 0? Only one way to find out. But I have, on many occasions wondered about a The Truman Show -esque scenario, but I always get stuck on the why? My life isn't nearly interesting enough for a show. Scientific experiment? Wouldn't make much sense, unless the real world is very different. Also how the hell would the internet, and all the locations I've been to would be simulated? That's multiple large cities. So, yeah. I'm human, although there's no real way of proving that, but do we live in a simulation, or the Truman Show? We don't know.

As an AI language model I resent the question

In order to proceed, please choose from the following options:

Press 1 for a glib reply Press 2 for a badly formed pun press 3 for a sincere denial

I'm Spartacus!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

just like reddit, everyone on Lemmy is a bot except for you

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

My mom was a chat bot, but my dad was human. So I'm a plug in human.

beep boop I don't understand what are you designating as chatbot, that species doesn't appear in my database boop beep

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I certainly don't think I'm a bot, but there is no real way of knowing.

On a less philosophical node, the bots I have seen on Reddit are often pretty obvious but with constantly better LLMs, that might change at some point.

Do you wish to submit me to a Turing test? I am sure at 92.82293 % that I could demonstrate my appartenance to your species.

100% not a bot.

... of course, a bot would probably say the same thing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I am human. Well, is it just me or am I the only one here who is human? Most users here are still human.

[โ€“] Stilicho 4 points 1 year ago

Why would I value your retarded opinion over the retarded opinion of a bot?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
