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 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.
Is that a 3 or an 8?
