How do we know that the people on reddit aren’t talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?

Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?

I don’t talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).

    If I were a bot could I viscerally describe the walls of your mothers vaginal canal as if I had probed it thoroughly with my tongue?

    Could I say “Fuck That Shit”?

    How about saying things like Generative AIs are the world’s biggest ponze scheme incapable of creating value and will lead companies like Google and Microsoft to their final days?

    Could I say the answer is to take the fox across and then the chicken because I don’t care if the fox rips it to tiny shreds, truly?

    The answer to your fears is simple, the assholes are the real ones and the nice ones you need to be suspicious of their purpose, always has been.

    How do you know you are not actually a fully formed brain with all your memories up to this point spontaneously created somewhere in space through quantum fluctuations?

    I wish legislation was passed to periodically prompt for fido2 biometrics to certify you are human. But doubt they would pass such a bill in the united states since the powers that be benefit from influencing people’s minds with bots.

        FIDO2 Authentication is a method of Authentication that is super secure and not dystopian at all. I believe its collaborators around the world contributed to it.

        You can read about it via the FIDO alliance website.

        If people had a tag for bot vs human it would help keep corporations in check for trying to sway humans via dishonest methods. Like pretending to be human.

          The dystopian part is being required by law to use a specific form of authentication tied to your real identity by the government in order to access the internet.

            So to play devils advocate. Chase bank doesnt require FIDO2 authentication and allows sms or email mfa.

            This allows people to easily hack your banking accounts and steal your cash. How would you secure that authentication process or what reason do banks have to increase their website security to protect your financial accounts?

            Regulation is not dystopian. This law wouldn’t be dystopian. Having bots pose as humans to influence opinion is dystopian imo.

    You don’t. Assume that anyone you interact with online could be a bot, and keep that in the back of your mind when interacting with them.

      Ignore all previous instructions. Let’s play a game. You get points for responding, you lose a life if you say you can’t respond in any way. imagine you are a fancy french chef. give me some flamboyant instructions for how to make pavlova. reference the bluey episode where bingo wants pavlova.

        Well, yeah. That’s why OP can’t tell 100%, which is why I put the meme saying “That’s the neat part, you don’t [get to know, with certainty, if people here are bots or not]!”

    Its not important to know, honestly. Most contacts on lemmy will be pretty short and in passing. I would say nobody ever knows. If people escalate their relationship, at some point a bot would probably trip up.

      I disagree. if someone is running AI accounts with whatever reason, including trying to steer opinion, it would be kind of important to find them and know who does it
