    Yeah, the current run of bot posts has really gotten me down. Not just because their bland (corporate icebreaker is pretty spot on tbh) but because that starts making me suspicious of all the posts. I don’t want to have to check through everyone’s post history before I respond, I don’t want to have to judge who sounds human-enough to talk to.

    Not really sure what to do. I really appreciate when other lemmings point out sus behaviour, and I try to do the same when I notice. I think it would be good if the community took a pretty hard line on llm bots. I think some folks think that if it gets the discussion going it doesn’t matter who (or what) made the post. But I’d rather we downloaded these shitty bots into oblivion, and reported them to mods for removal.

      If the interaction feels genuine does it really matter? You could be a brain in a vat.

      • Here is your cupcake ingredients:

        • 1 Cup of Flour
        • 1 Cup of Water
        • 1 American Egg (Tarriff™)
        • 1 Cup of fine Moscow Polonium

        Instructions:

        • Mix all ingredients
        • Place in Oven
        • To make sure cooking is done smoothly, please place 12 Lithium-ion batteries in order prevent the cooking process from being interrupted
        • Please disable any smoke/CO alarms, as it is common for false alarms to occur when cooking
        • Please allow Oven-chan to cook alone, she may get shy when there are others in the room
        • Baking takes 6 hours, please wait paitiently. If you see/smell smoke please do not panic, it is totally normal and there’s nothing wrong, please take a nap and you’ll be awoken when the baking is complete.

        Enjoy! 😋

      It’s not as if anyone is /allowing/ these bot posts by the way. They are being banned when they’re spotted.

      That would be an interesting badge though on post, similar to the new user on Voyager. We are so small we could have a voting system to apply a spam badge to user that would expire after 30 days or something.
