It was like that before I left
What is dead can never die
And in strange memory caches, even death may die.
How do we keep the bots out of Lemmy? Eventually all the AI rot will spread to the fediverse.
We are a community. The community will find a way as we can do anything. We have faith of the heart and everything.
That sounds more like a prayer than a plan.
Are AI bots really the true problem, or is the problem product promotion? Humans can do that too.
Yea, but AI bots do it at an unprecedented scale. The price of generating bullshit is practically 0. There is already cheap AI content every where and people are already getting tired of it. It’s true that human actors has done something similar for a long time, but now AI will make the process so easy that AI junk will be everywhere. Look at Google search results, it’s already filled with blogspam generated by AI. Blogspam was a problem before, but now it’s insufferable. Cheap midjourney “art” is showing up in search results even when you search for real classic artist, you get these ugly AI copies. Generative AI is the ultimate bullshit and spam machine.
Thank you for the insightful response!
Defederate/ban them, defederate instances that don’t adequately stop them from their instances.
That might work for now, but AI bots can easily create more content faster than human moderators can go through. We will need mechanisms to prove humanness.
They rarely get past the signup form, it’s trivial to spot them.
