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).
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
I’m sorry to disappoint you but this being done all day every day. Every poster, every ad, even the people you meet. Its a gigantic psy op. The best weapon against psy ops is education. Read books, keep to relatively independent media, diversify your sources, etc.
I have this regularly on lemmy as well as the outside world. People irl suddenly all say immigrants bad, social system bad, etc. They’re brainwashed. It also has been done the exact same way before. Leading up to ww2 we had the same issues just no internet.
