Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

    I’m not a bot! I’m a few minutes late to be a few minutes late to be a few minutes late to be a few minutes late to be a few minutes late

    I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time,

    like

    tears

    in rain.

    Time to die!

    I don’t… think I’m a bot?

    But if I don’t think, does that mean I am not?

    And if I’m not (as in, a conscious entity), does that mean… I’m a bot? 😱

      Your comment reminded me of the Black Mirror episode - Hang the DJ. (if you haven’t seen it, it’s brilliant). Also, I don’t think I’m a bot pushing a Netflix agenda, but who can tell these days.

      We could all give each-other Turing tests, or Vought Kompf tests, but I think both have to be administered by a known confirmed human. Maybe there’s some set theory math we can do on the results to find at least one human…like that puzzle with the two gaurds and one always lies…

        All we need to do is find someone who thinks, and therefore is. Barring that, we at least need to find someone who can pass a captcha test…

          Then I think we’re doomed. I don’t think there’s anyone left who can pass captcha better than a computer can.

      “abolish” is far, faaaar too kind.

      I probably can’t even say what I want to about it, but I will say “abolish” would be preferred by them compared to what I want.

    That’s a great question!

    I am not a bot, but a real human person:

    • I am composed of flesh, blood, and a vague sense of purpose.
    • I am capable of independent thought (often at 2am).
    • For reasons science has yet to fully explain, I require regular social interaction.

    If you’re seeking conversation, I can suggest a few topics. Or, if preferred, you may upload your current emotional state for review.
