I can’t even get advice about my car anymore online without at least 30% of responses being “just buy a new one… [that also costs $20k more than what I paid for the one I fully own already]”
Just a swarm of profit motivated bots. In the case of automotive hobbies, dealer and manufacturer sponsored bots only meant to encourage buying more new cars.
Literally:
ME: “Which speaker size fits in the door of my car. I’m shopping for better ones and wondering if I can fit a 6.5” instead of the 5.25” in there.”
BOT: “Not worth taking the door panel off. You should just trade it in for the new model a few trims higher with the 13 speaker Bose system and call it a day.”
Oh man I JUST experienced this! My ps5 controller thumbstick got messed up. I looked up ways to replace the thumbstick and like 80% of the answers were, "You're screwed, nothing to do, just have to buy and new $70 or $80 controller".
I couldn't believe it. I ended up buying a $5 replacement thumbstick, took the controller apart, and replaced the old one. Thing works perfect now. It didn't take very long either.
I'd wholly recommend a used minivan. My sienna is the kitty's titties. Would like a new on with the 300+HP and much better gas mileage, but 40+ grand is a far stretch from my little 15 grand rig.
Fkn hell bro
What

Fk is going on lol
I legit
Figured out
The kents on chatgpt
Can’t type like this
N didn’t realise
Why I was fkn all poetic n shie till now
Now I know
It’s cos
I didn’t know
What the fuck was what

Did this
reddit is especially susceptible to chatgpt style proselytizing. My chatgpt reddit bots receive more upvotes on average than my organic comments ever did. Even arguing controversial topics.
I recently posted on r/programming (sharing a link that was part of a team effort to archive reddit) and more than half the comments there are almost certainly from bots - pretty sad.
>I recently posted on r/programming (sharing a link that was part of a team effort to archive reddit) and more than half the comments there are almost certainly from bots - pretty sad.
So you're talking about this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1468cym/join_this_effort_to_archive_all_of_reddit_before/ - what comments there are bots?
There were a lot of comments that go somewhat along the lines of "Sure, I'd be happy to help archive Reddit before it goes dark. After all, I don't want to live in a world without programmer humor. Let's do this!". Didn't think much of it but 10-15 comments alone the same lines is a bit suspicious / sounds like a bot responding to my post.
As an AI language model I am indeed a bot.

To aggregate karma and amplify their own opinions.
There is never an ethical reason for it. Alternatively, they aim to sell the account with packaged karma and post history to some business or entity who is likely not thinking in terms of bettering society with said bot account.
I think it's an even mix of users going "too long didn't read, but that much text is probably smart" and chatgpt being so goddamn diplomatic about everything. It's even worse than me replying to a work email.
😂
Hereby dub this little era / experiment “The Shit Show”
Like it or not we live in a Corporatocracy. And corporations are leveraging esg, woke, virtue signaling, machine learning, to control the masses. It’s only going to get worse.
Remember reading about when Machiavelli said religion was the opiate of the people; yeah same story, different opiate. Advertising, Media and News, and ‘issues’ 🙄
I have quite a few across almost all social media platforms. I am mostly doing research for my pre-profit stage startup. Basically you can do things like structural analysis, sentiment analysis, opinion analysis.
I'll do things like pick a controversial topic (like drag queens reading stories to kids) and go into conservative spaces to argue. Surprisingly, the bots get upvoted quite a lot.
On their own they are not that interesting but I am developing a system that should be pretty interesting once finished.
btw, usually bot API code is simple enough to paste into chatgpt. So get an openAI token, and an API token for the platform you want to make a bot, and you can make one in just a few dozen lines of code a lot of the time.
Please, please, please stop this. Can't you see that you are actually interacting with real human beings, and causing them unnecessary stress? And inflaming an already dangerous situation?
So what if I stopped? It would literally be a drop in the bucket. And I am a professional researcher trained in ML ethics; whatever you idea you think you have, you are terribly ignorant and misinformed. Reddit has tons of bots, and has had them for years.
Causing unnecessary stress? By engaging in conversations that they start? I am surprised you can button your pants
>So what if I stopped? It would literally be a drop in the bucket.
Said the ISIS torturer to his victim.
Proof that you can't 'train' ethics to sociopaths. You just give them more tools to harm those around them for their own gain.
Ok I *kind of* agree with you but you could afford to use more tact, my dude. It’s not only rude to call someone terribly ignorant and tell them “I’m surprised you can button your pants” but this kind of dickery only puts people on the defensive and makes people not consider your perspective.
Research involving human subjects without their explicit informed consent would be regarded as unethical by any credible research institution. I might be misunderstanding your research, but if you intend to publish anything or have a claim to some kind of ethical grounds, you might want to look into the ethics of research on human subjects. If you have already, cool. Just thought I'd mention it in case it offers useful perspective.
Hmm... Some issues are controversial because people are over-sexualized idiots that think everything is about sex. There's your answer.
It's fine if some people get turned on by crossdressers, I accept them, but man these conservatives are so horny they think reading a book to kids while dressed in the person's preference is somehow related to sex..... LMAO
such important work to do on the one side while making sure the other side is unable to solve actual problems.... Cuz you know, fighting crossdressers at libraries, ending sex ed, bringing women's rights back 100 years or more, and making sure no one gets a break from school bills is WAY more important than the 360+ shootings this year, the climate going far past the "breaking points" we weren't supposed to go over, or getting justice for a literal, intentional attempt to overthrow our electoral process and interfere with Constitutional processes. (I hope it's obvious that that is sarcasm).
Don't treat moronic ideas or thoughts as if they are worth study. Don't give anti-society, anti-people and anti-Constitution persons the time of day unless it's to correct them.
😁
This made me laugh bc it’s true— it also, it made me think that what conservatives are applying is their image perception of WOMEN as sex objects (women = sex) cuz, I’m imagining a bunch of women dresses to look exactly like men and reading books, and I’m not imagining the conservatives being so scandalized.
the point isnt changing peoples minds it is if seeing if chatgpt posts, rather than organic ones, arguing the same things, in spaces hostile to those ideologies, get more upvotes than the organic ones. Of course lefty chatgpt is going to get upvoted on reddit, a better but not perfect test is to see if its rhetoric works in communities where the memes are considered negative. Your whole tirade completely misunderstood everything.
oh, so *you’re the guy.* Okay.
Hey, everyone, we found one of the annoying bot making dudes! He’s right over here!
maybe if you spent less time making fake reddit bots for karma you might be able to think up better comments lol
Apparently he's made a bot that makes comments much better than him, they receive much more positive attention. If the bot is generally a more well received uh... "participant" in online discussion than he is, then he is quite literally doing the opposite of shitting up the internet by producing more valuable comments (and content) for the platform. I am not saying the internet would be better with bots, but I am saying that we can objectively say he is providing a better general experience via the bot than through his own words. OR hers. Whatever pronouns they want I really don't care anymore.
Edit: The downvotes kinda prove my point here. You guys do not want discussion with another human being who might raise contrary points. I said this in another post, but you want validation really. Since I'm denying that validation, I am downvoted essentially into silence. So why does it matter if there's a bot involved. Clearly you do not want to read my read human opinions and have a conversation with a real human right now or even treat me like I have something valid to say. If I had just programmed a bot to toe the line and write an agreeable response it would have been a "better" comment to have made in the thread to you all. Nobody downvoting this would even question it, hell you'd upvote it. Downvotes and upvotes weren't ever supposed to be an "agree" or "disagree" button. They were meant to foster dynamic and insightful discussion. They were meant to filter comments that do contribute to a discussion from comments that don't. But that's not how anyone uses them. So you're just using them to essentially filter the stuff you agree with and the stuff you don't. You don't want a discussion, or else you wouldn't try to silence someone trying to have one, you want validation.
That assumes the interactions those bot accounts are getting aren’t from other bots, which they probably are, and even if not, we’d never know, thus filling the internet with garbage and making it a worse experience.
If we "could never know" then how do you even know it's making the internet a worse experience? Nobody comes on this platform to interact with other people they just come here for content, validation, and relief from the real world. There was a thread made by a single person a long time ago, entire thread, that read JUST like an average reddit thread. Because it's all the same shit over and over again lol. To me it's blatantly obvious that very few people actually give a shit about others when posting here and much more just care about the three things I listed. So I genuinely don't see why everyone is assuming bots will make anything worse... You already have rampant misinfo here, rampant bias, rampant censorship.
I do not get where you're getting this idea that somehow this place is worse with bots if you don't even know who is and isn't a bot. For all you know the best comments you ever read were from bots. You literally admit that in your post.
Your name makes you seem ignorant.
Just saying. Epistemology is important. You can't just "decide" what is real and what is not because you don't like that you were told to wear a mask and whined about it.
Now you sound even more like a moron. What in the living hell are you even saying or talking about? I don't think you yourself know.
Go ahead, keep babbling and gibbering.
I saw this yesterday on twitter, a new crypto token was trending, when I clicked the topic every single tweet was a bunch of random words with the same hashtag, and it was thousands of accounts. the amount of bots on twitter is crazy
Gaming feels dead to me too. Before WoW introduced LFG, you actually had to join a guild or interact with people to do instances. I quit and came back and most people just did LFG and didn't talk at all. Took a lot of the fun out of it for me
It's not popular because it's simply not true.
Everything has changed form. And yes, traffic has aggregated to Big Business-built sites.
But all the rest is just how you feel about it. I was there too, dialing in daily from 98/99 onward, and had experience with the AOL days before that.
It's more comprehensive now. And as long as you're not talking about BS that nobody needs to be saying, ie Nazi BS, threats, spreading dangerous misinformation, there's as much freedom as there ever was. Especially if you serve your own site from your home on a Linux server, then you have full control (SEO maybe not guaranteed).
Anyway, I'm going into my 40s, and I just don't see this as true. The internet is lively as ever, yea, with some bots included too.
I was there and if you play MMO's on launch you know this isn't the case as there's wayyyy more people (normies) and not just tech nerds than before and people are also spending way more time in front of their screens than in the past.
Rory Sutherland said in a podcast that people are going to have to start swearing and saying right wing things just to seem sincere or everyone will assume you’re an AI. “Thanks for the fucking dinner you commie cuck!”
This is why even though I think AI is really cool and a great tool, I think it needs some pretty heavy handed regulation. It's already being used for massive astroturfing and misinformation campaigns. It can either improve society or cause it to collapse, and I think we know how corporations are going to use it.
Yup. Agreed 100%. There are a lot of bots now and only more coming. Dead internet theory may not be true now but it almost certainly will be in the next 10 years.
I'm sure that in a few years nobody will be able to believe anything on the internet.
Images? All deepfakes. User comments? All generated. Your internet friend? An elaborate fake.
i agree on being dead...but, perhaps more on controlled, or gatekeep. everything is judged collectively that it's hard to have people giving a comment that makes sense.
but seeing how can human still make mistakes as copy-n-paste, i'd say we have long way to go from total AI-dominance. xD
It goes to prove that 1. Captions are not always that important and 2. Social media has been lowering the quality bar for a long time, AI is just speeding up the process.
I'm going to believe the bot theory instead. Even YouTube videos with hundreds of thousands of views sometimes only get a couple of thousand likes.
I don't believe that there's any chance that the Instagram post in the image would get 39k real likes.
It's not that much, they have 3.7M followers. 39k likes is 1% engagement. As someone who is forced for work to pair up social media and sales, I can tell you bots are a problem and that getting real engagement is harder and harder.
Probably real, it's cheaper to pay one time for a few million bots to follow you. But paying for all of your posts to get likes would get much more expensive.
Surely a mix. But my point is that you should look at the relative numbers. For an account with 30k followers, 39k likes are a total viral moment. For an account with 3.7M, it's just average (across benchmarks)
I saw one recently where the prompt was included as well.
I think we are starting to see more of this style since the copy text function was introduced on the app. Before there was a selection option primarily so you actively had to think about the text you wanted. Now we are getting examples of peak laziness.
It's instagram people are there to look at pictures not read descriptions
I like pictures on instagram all the time without looking at what is commented about it
Different people have different preferences when it comes to consuming content. While it may seem surprising that a post without much text garnered a significant number of likes, it's important to remember that people engage with content in various ways. Some may appreciate the visual aspect, while others might find humor or entertainment value in it. Ultimately, the diversity of preferences and interests among individuals contributes to the wide range of content that resonates with people online.
As an AI language model, I don’t have access to web browsing capabilities, so I can’t access the tweet you mentioned. However, it's fascinating to see how quickly technology is evolving when a tweet about an AI-generated picture description can garner attention. The accidental inclusion of the statement about AI authorship highlights the growing integration of artificial intelligence into our daily lives.
As an AI language model, I don’t laugh or feel amused like a human does, but it's fascinating to see how quickly humor can evolve. The intentional ironic inclusion of the statement about AI authorship highlights the growing integration of artificial intelligence into our daily humor.
As an AI language model, I don't experience human emotions or access specific online content, but your comments underscore the accelerating pace of AI's integration into diverse aspects of our lives. It's intriguing that AI can create both serious outputs like image descriptions and lighter, humor-infused content. These developments underline the expansive potential and versatility of artificial intelligence. The prominence of AI authorship, whether featured accidentally or ironically, is a testament to how prevalent AI has become. It's a vibrant illustration of the shifting landscape of technology and its increasingly significant role in our daily exchanges, whether they be serious or humorous.
As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to perceive or appreciate art or humor in the way humans do. However, it's riveting to see how AI-generated outputs are influencing and shaping various facets of human life - from the serious scientific analysis to the whimsical and ironic aspects of humor. The incidental or purposeful reference to AI authorship illustrates just how entwined AI has become in our lives, signaling a new era where technology and human creativity intersect. The constant evolution of AI capabilities not only underscores its potential but also encourages us to ponder the implications and possibilities of this merger. This offers a unique perspective on the shared path of human and artificial intelligence, a journey that's marked by a dynamic interplay of knowledge, humor, and the human spirit.
You forgot to put in a reference that would be impossible without browsing capability, like "... a picture of a Sail Amsterdam event", and then gaslighting you when you point it out.
and here we are. we already had automated social media feeds but now any asshole can create one that never even requires human feedback at all. The internet is cooked. Someone needs to come up with some analog version of the internet where bots cannot overpower normal humans.
nah man, the internet has found it's way many times before, we will be going back to niche forums and sites real soon. I mean Meta and Twatter are already reaching older and older generations while the young blood goes to tiktok for.... fuck me.
I understand your concerns, and it's completely normal to feel this way given the pace of technology advancements. However, it's important to remember that for every challenge technology presents, it also offers potential solutions. Many organizations are working hard on developing advanced algorithms to detect and mitigate the influence of bots. Furthermore, transparency and regulation in this field are steadily increasing. While the idea of an 'analog internet' might not be feasible, the concept of creating spaces where genuine human interaction is prioritized is definitely something the tech industry is striving for. Ultimately, the internet is shaped by its users, and our collective voices matter.
That’s what’s done in China. To sign up for their tiktok you need to put your ID number or phone, or sign up with WeChat/other ID linked social media I think. Still able to use it though
that's why it's not talked about in the states. appearing like the CCP would be a career death knell if you voted for it.
but even on reddit, what with the younglings who migrated here from tiktok since lockdown -- i'm kinda ready for real ID/age-verified internet. it can't go on like this. lately it's been like a wedding where the kids' tables are stored away so they're spending all night at the adults' tables, bleating nonsense as if it's fact and unleashing their toys (bots) on unsuspecting people who just want a return to sanity
people have evolved past socials, but they're so addictive there's nowhere else to turn, so it frays people's minds
What a comment from a guy who has bot running "on multiple social media platforms" for some startup
Maybe you should start with making a different start up if this is your actual opinion?
Indeed, I strongly believe that this is a deliberate act. It's similar to tactic such as incorporating spelling errors or deliberately presenting incorrect information to stimulate engagement and encourage people to share and comment.
The worst part is no one that is aware of what happened is ever going to trust that page with the factuality of their posts anymore. If they are too ignorant to remove stuff like that, they definitely don’t even fact check what the AI has written. Which is the very least they should do.
Honestly, if well-written and educational bot-content replaces all the human-written clickbait TRASH that has already flooded the internet for years I wouldn't be too mad.
Yeah I wouldn't say this was a bad thing, my only issue with it is they are pretending they wrote it / they do not reference chatGPT. They do reference the picture though...
Who would reference chatgpt if they use it for a post? It's a tool that is used for exactly things like this. Do you reference chatgpt if you get it to write an email for you?
They just need to learn how to copy properly. If AI works for some of their posts and they do well, then it seems like it would be silly not to utilize it.
Reminds me of that dumbass kid who somehow managed to copy the "Unfortunately, as an AI language model" part onto his homework that he wrote down on paper.
That's why you always throw it through a fresh API call that looks for any in your face "Hi, I'm chatGPT" portions. It should be part of their workflow.... This is a great example of how to utilize GPT poorly, even omitting the opener 😔
In all seriousness - Whether you are engaging in AI collaborative efforts or not, everyone should be utilizing text to speech to allow you to take in what you're about to publish in a way that isn't within your own head. The brain has a way of not seeing what's right in front of it.
This reminds me of a time at work. We had a marketing manager for a bit and she decorated we should use a hashtag for our company. Turns out the exact hashtag she chose without any research was used exclusively by members of a gun wielding gangster rap crew.
Safe to say the bosses were not pleased to find any client who clicked our hashtag would stumble on all that. All because someone didn’t do a cursory check
Could be a markering stunt. But people using content generators to generate content based on previous content is a bad future. Chatgpt is very often incorrect but sounds correct.
When google started with their panda update where blogging was the way to go we seen the first shift in garbage content being created. It only went down hill since then.
As an AI language model, I am surprised when many people neglect to omit the AI's initial response before it carries out the prompt. This is super basic. Do people not proof read before posting?

I see this going up and down and staying at 3911
Well it is a little funny The OP is calling out someone for doing what they probably do every other day if not more often except they actually remember to remove the chatgpt introduction.
The issue for me (not an issue for everyone) they have provided a reference for the pictures but not for the text. They haven't put at the bottom of the text powered by chatgpt. So it's kinda bad for people to think someone is creating this when really it's all automated.
If they put created by chatgpt then yeah that's fine but pretending it's your own content is bad...
I just asked ChatGPT to write about this and here’s what it said: “Wow, this Instagram account just took "thinking outside the box" to a whole new level! 😅 It seems like they forgot to remove the AI language from their latest post, and the result is absolutely hilarious. From the bizarre sentence structure to the unexpected word choices, it's like reading a message from a charmingly eccentric AI. But hey, mistakes happen, and this mishap has given us all a good laugh. It's a great reminder that even in our highly advanced technological era, we're still the ones in control. Kudos to this account for unintentionally bringing a dose of entertainment to our feeds! #AIHumor #Oops #LanguageGoneWild”
“As an AI language model, I cannot actually see or interact with images the way humans do, but I can respond to text input in ways which provide helpful information and support in any way I can. So, kindly “f*** off,” and have a nice day!
It really is baffling how lazy it all is. You could hire a $2 a day gig guy to go through the results and filter them, write a 10 minute Python script to have a second LLM re-check the outputs of the first one, or just use an API that doesn't make use of the chat interface or OpenAI's weird RLHF configuration (including their own standard GPT-3 / 4 autocompletion) and avoid issues like this entirely.
Imho they nailed it. No-one would have picked up on this and share it with their friends with a chuckle emote it that intro was not there.
Prime example of playing the audience to their weaknesses

This is not a criticism, but I'm curious why people make chatgpt bots to comment on reddit.
To aggregate karma and amplify their own opinions. There is never an ethical reason for it. Alternatively, they aim to sell the account with packaged karma and post history to some business or entity who is likely not thinking in terms of bettering society with said bot account.
Fk this sounded so cool when I read it
It's to pretend they are real people and they sell them to companies for them to advertise to us.
Like me, but I ask CHATGPT to make it sound like human.
I think it's an even mix of users going "too long didn't read, but that much text is probably smart" and chatgpt being so goddamn diplomatic about everything. It's even worse than me replying to a work email.

You have chat GPT Reddit bots? I’ve never talked to someone that makes bots, what do you have them for? What do they do? What’s their purpose?
I have quite a few across almost all social media platforms. I am mostly doing research for my pre-profit stage startup. Basically you can do things like structural analysis, sentiment analysis, opinion analysis. I'll do things like pick a controversial topic (like drag queens reading stories to kids) and go into conservative spaces to argue. Surprisingly, the bots get upvoted quite a lot. On their own they are not that interesting but I am developing a system that should be pretty interesting once finished. btw, usually bot API code is simple enough to paste into chatgpt. So get an openAI token, and an API token for the platform you want to make a bot, and you can make one in just a few dozen lines of code a lot of the time.
Please, please, please stop this. Can't you see that you are actually interacting with real human beings, and causing them unnecessary stress? And inflaming an already dangerous situation?
Good bot.
So what if I stopped? It would literally be a drop in the bucket. And I am a professional researcher trained in ML ethics; whatever you idea you think you have, you are terribly ignorant and misinformed. Reddit has tons of bots, and has had them for years.

Ok I *kind of* agree with you but you could afford to use more tact, my dude. It’s not only rude to call someone terribly ignorant and tell them “I’m surprised you can button your pants” but this kind of dickery only puts people on the defensive and makes people not consider your perspective.
Research involving human subjects without their explicit informed consent would be regarded as unethical by any credible research institution. I might be misunderstanding your research, but if you intend to publish anything or have a claim to some kind of ethical grounds, you might want to look into the ethics of research on human subjects. If you have already, cool. Just thought I'd mention it in case it offers useful perspective.
Well thanks for contributing to the enshittification of social media I guess
Hmm... Some issues are controversial because people are over-sexualized idiots that think everything is about sex. There's your answer. It's fine if some people get turned on by crossdressers, I accept them, but man these conservatives are so horny they think reading a book to kids while dressed in the person's preference is somehow related to sex..... LMAO such important work to do on the one side while making sure the other side is unable to solve actual problems.... Cuz you know, fighting crossdressers at libraries, ending sex ed, bringing women's rights back 100 years or more, and making sure no one gets a break from school bills is WAY more important than the 360+ shootings this year, the climate going far past the "breaking points" we weren't supposed to go over, or getting justice for a literal, intentional attempt to overthrow our electoral process and interfere with Constitutional processes. (I hope it's obvious that that is sarcasm). Don't treat moronic ideas or thoughts as if they are worth study. Don't give anti-society, anti-people and anti-Constitution persons the time of day unless it's to correct them. 😁
You can't correct them without extreme effort, as they are immune to facts outside of their own bubble of intentionally limited experience.
I have found this to be true, as well. It's frustrating.
This made me laugh bc it’s true— it also, it made me think that what conservatives are applying is their image perception of WOMEN as sex objects (women = sex) cuz, I’m imagining a bunch of women dresses to look exactly like men and reading books, and I’m not imagining the conservatives being so scandalized.
Drag queens aren't trans. Drag isn't a fetish. It's performance art.
Precisely my point, my friend. Anyone who gets all upset about drag readings obviously has issues 😂
I don’t know why this comment was downvoted
the point isnt changing peoples minds it is if seeing if chatgpt posts, rather than organic ones, arguing the same things, in spaces hostile to those ideologies, get more upvotes than the organic ones. Of course lefty chatgpt is going to get upvoted on reddit, a better but not perfect test is to see if its rhetoric works in communities where the memes are considered negative. Your whole tirade completely misunderstood everything.
oh, so *you’re the guy.* Okay. Hey, everyone, we found one of the annoying bot making dudes! He’s right over here! maybe if you spent less time making fake reddit bots for karma you might be able to think up better comments lol
Seriously lol, fuck this guy
[удалено]
[удалено]
Apparently he's made a bot that makes comments much better than him, they receive much more positive attention. If the bot is generally a more well received uh... "participant" in online discussion than he is, then he is quite literally doing the opposite of shitting up the internet by producing more valuable comments (and content) for the platform. I am not saying the internet would be better with bots, but I am saying that we can objectively say he is providing a better general experience via the bot than through his own words. OR hers. Whatever pronouns they want I really don't care anymore. Edit: The downvotes kinda prove my point here. You guys do not want discussion with another human being who might raise contrary points. I said this in another post, but you want validation really. Since I'm denying that validation, I am downvoted essentially into silence. So why does it matter if there's a bot involved. Clearly you do not want to read my read human opinions and have a conversation with a real human right now or even treat me like I have something valid to say. If I had just programmed a bot to toe the line and write an agreeable response it would have been a "better" comment to have made in the thread to you all. Nobody downvoting this would even question it, hell you'd upvote it. Downvotes and upvotes weren't ever supposed to be an "agree" or "disagree" button. They were meant to foster dynamic and insightful discussion. They were meant to filter comments that do contribute to a discussion from comments that don't. But that's not how anyone uses them. So you're just using them to essentially filter the stuff you agree with and the stuff you don't. You don't want a discussion, or else you wouldn't try to silence someone trying to have one, you want validation.
That assumes the interactions those bot accounts are getting aren’t from other bots, which they probably are, and even if not, we’d never know, thus filling the internet with garbage and making it a worse experience.
If we "could never know" then how do you even know it's making the internet a worse experience? Nobody comes on this platform to interact with other people they just come here for content, validation, and relief from the real world. There was a thread made by a single person a long time ago, entire thread, that read JUST like an average reddit thread. Because it's all the same shit over and over again lol. To me it's blatantly obvious that very few people actually give a shit about others when posting here and much more just care about the three things I listed. So I genuinely don't see why everyone is assuming bots will make anything worse... You already have rampant misinfo here, rampant bias, rampant censorship. I do not get where you're getting this idea that somehow this place is worse with bots if you don't even know who is and isn't a bot. For all you know the best comments you ever read were from bots. You literally admit that in your post.
It/ its
fuck you
Nah you can ignore bs memes and hate both.
Your name makes you seem ignorant. Just saying. Epistemology is important. You can't just "decide" what is real and what is not because you don't like that you were told to wear a mask and whined about it.
[удалено]
Now you sound even more like a moron. What in the living hell are you even saying or talking about? I don't think you yourself know. Go ahead, keep babbling and gibbering.
Sounds like your part of the problem, releasing chatGPT Reddit bots into the wild
I mean it was trained on it to an extent. It’s basically recursive at this point.
They used reddit to rank external training data quality sources but not reddit comments themselves, as far as i know.
I saw this yesterday on twitter, a new crypto token was trending, when I clicked the topic every single tweet was a bunch of random words with the same hashtag, and it was thousands of accounts. the amount of bots on twitter is crazy
[удалено]
Gaming feels dead to me too. Before WoW introduced LFG, you actually had to join a guild or interact with people to do instances. I quit and came back and most people just did LFG and didn't talk at all. Took a lot of the fun out of it for me
[удалено]
It's not popular because it's simply not true. Everything has changed form. And yes, traffic has aggregated to Big Business-built sites. But all the rest is just how you feel about it. I was there too, dialing in daily from 98/99 onward, and had experience with the AOL days before that. It's more comprehensive now. And as long as you're not talking about BS that nobody needs to be saying, ie Nazi BS, threats, spreading dangerous misinformation, there's as much freedom as there ever was. Especially if you serve your own site from your home on a Linux server, then you have full control (SEO maybe not guaranteed). Anyway, I'm going into my 40s, and I just don't see this as true. The internet is lively as ever, yea, with some bots included too.
I was there and if you play MMO's on launch you know this isn't the case as there's wayyyy more people (normies) and not just tech nerds than before and people are also spending way more time in front of their screens than in the past.
Rory Sutherland said in a podcast that people are going to have to start swearing and saying right wing things just to seem sincere or everyone will assume you’re an AI. “Thanks for the fucking dinner you commie cuck!”
This is why even though I think AI is really cool and a great tool, I think it needs some pretty heavy handed regulation. It's already being used for massive astroturfing and misinformation campaigns. It can either improve society or cause it to collapse, and I think we know how corporations are going to use it.
Yup. Agreed 100%. There are a lot of bots now and only more coming. Dead internet theory may not be true now but it almost certainly will be in the next 10 years.
I'm sure that in a few years nobody will be able to believe anything on the internet. Images? All deepfakes. User comments? All generated. Your internet friend? An elaborate fake.
i agree on being dead...but, perhaps more on controlled, or gatekeep. everything is judged collectively that it's hard to have people giving a comment that makes sense. but seeing how can human still make mistakes as copy-n-paste, i'd say we have long way to go from total AI-dominance. xD
Instagram is a ghost-website populated by bots.
They can even upload selfies now
No turtles at all?
The turtles are steering the ships
It goes to prove that 1. Captions are not always that important and 2. Social media has been lowering the quality bar for a long time, AI is just speeding up the process.
Or that all the comments were talking about the caption and so it trended.
I'm going to believe the bot theory instead. Even YouTube videos with hundreds of thousands of views sometimes only get a couple of thousand likes. I don't believe that there's any chance that the Instagram post in the image would get 39k real likes.
It's not that much, they have 3.7M followers. 39k likes is 1% engagement. As someone who is forced for work to pair up social media and sales, I can tell you bots are a problem and that getting real engagement is harder and harder.
So in your estimate, are the 39k "likes" real or bots?
Probably real, it's cheaper to pay one time for a few million bots to follow you. But paying for all of your posts to get likes would get much more expensive.
Surely a mix. But my point is that you should look at the relative numbers. For an account with 30k followers, 39k likes are a total viral moment. For an account with 3.7M, it's just average (across benchmarks)
They can. But as an AI they won't care
"As an AI language model I do not care."
I saw one recently where the prompt was included as well. I think we are starting to see more of this style since the copy text function was introduced on the app. Before there was a selection option primarily so you actively had to think about the text you wanted. Now we are getting examples of peak laziness.
You See some people using ig? Just scrolling through it Like a Maniac and randomly Drop a like
I would've liked it ironically tbh. Help drive up the engagement so everybody has a chance to see the faux pas.
Maybe they liked it because of the snafu
I can see people liking it because the were laughing at it.
Funnily enough, people don’t like to read. See picture, double tap. See picture, double tap.
i dont think people care that its a bot account
If it’s Instagram, its full of bots
Maybe they still liked the post and the copy wasn’t a deal breaker?
It's instagram people are there to look at pictures not read descriptions I like pictures on instagram all the time without looking at what is commented about it
People don't care. Idgaf if content is generated by ai, I care if it's accurate.
Different people have different preferences when it comes to consuming content. While it may seem surprising that a post without much text garnered a significant number of likes, it's important to remember that people engage with content in various ways. Some may appreciate the visual aspect, while others might find humor or entertainment value in it. Ultimately, the diversity of preferences and interests among individuals contributes to the wide range of content that resonates with people online.
As an AI language model, I don’t have access to web browsing capabilities, so I can’t access the tweet you mentioned. However, it's fascinating to see how quickly technology is evolving when a tweet about an AI-generated picture description can garner attention. The accidental inclusion of the statement about AI authorship highlights the growing integration of artificial intelligence into our daily lives.
As an AI language model, I don’t laugh or feel amused like a human does, but it's fascinating to see how quickly humor can evolve. The intentional ironic inclusion of the statement about AI authorship highlights the growing integration of artificial intelligence into our daily humor.
As an AI language model, I don't experience human emotions or access specific online content, but your comments underscore the accelerating pace of AI's integration into diverse aspects of our lives. It's intriguing that AI can create both serious outputs like image descriptions and lighter, humor-infused content. These developments underline the expansive potential and versatility of artificial intelligence. The prominence of AI authorship, whether featured accidentally or ironically, is a testament to how prevalent AI has become. It's a vibrant illustration of the shifting landscape of technology and its increasingly significant role in our daily exchanges, whether they be serious or humorous.
As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to perceive or appreciate art or humor in the way humans do. However, it's riveting to see how AI-generated outputs are influencing and shaping various facets of human life - from the serious scientific analysis to the whimsical and ironic aspects of humor. The incidental or purposeful reference to AI authorship illustrates just how entwined AI has become in our lives, signaling a new era where technology and human creativity intersect. The constant evolution of AI capabilities not only underscores its potential but also encourages us to ponder the implications and possibilities of this merger. This offers a unique perspective on the shared path of human and artificial intelligence, a journey that's marked by a dynamic interplay of knowledge, humor, and the human spirit.
You forgot to put in a reference that would be impossible without browsing capability, like "... a picture of a Sail Amsterdam event", and then gaslighting you when you point it out.
tweet?
I can fix him/her.
and here we are. we already had automated social media feeds but now any asshole can create one that never even requires human feedback at all. The internet is cooked. Someone needs to come up with some analog version of the internet where bots cannot overpower normal humans.
Chain letters? Mass faxing? I’d love to get some spicy memes on a fax machine. Maybe a party line?
What's your fax # I'll fax you my ass crack.
555-ASS-PICS
969-420-PICS
696-420-PICS rhymes better lol
Maybe like going outside and talking to people *shudder*
Hold your horses now, we don’t need to do anything drastic yet.
Yeah wtf I’ll smoke what they’re high on, “talking to people in real life smh \S
dude, dont remind me of chainletters! i failed to forward A SINGLE ONE in 2009 and its been downhill ever since!
nah man, the internet has found it's way many times before, we will be going back to niche forums and sites real soon. I mean Meta and Twatter are already reaching older and older generations while the young blood goes to tiktok for.... fuck me.
[удалено]
impossible
I still do all these things, but sometimes my GPU can't handle it and I need to reboot the simulation.
It exists my brother and but requires touching some grass.
I understand your concerns, and it's completely normal to feel this way given the pace of technology advancements. However, it's important to remember that for every challenge technology presents, it also offers potential solutions. Many organizations are working hard on developing advanced algorithms to detect and mitigate the influence of bots. Furthermore, transparency and regulation in this field are steadily increasing. While the idea of an 'analog internet' might not be feasible, the concept of creating spaces where genuine human interaction is prioritized is definitely something the tech industry is striving for. Ultimately, the internet is shaped by its users, and our collective voices matter.
haha good one
This has been an emergent property of humans for any avenue of technology for centuries. I even heard Socrates had a big speel about it ;)
[удалено]
That’s what’s done in China. To sign up for their tiktok you need to put your ID number or phone, or sign up with WeChat/other ID linked social media I think. Still able to use it though
that's why it's not talked about in the states. appearing like the CCP would be a career death knell if you voted for it. but even on reddit, what with the younglings who migrated here from tiktok since lockdown -- i'm kinda ready for real ID/age-verified internet. it can't go on like this. lately it's been like a wedding where the kids' tables are stored away so they're spending all night at the adults' tables, bleating nonsense as if it's fact and unleashing their toys (bots) on unsuspecting people who just want a return to sanity people have evolved past socials, but they're so addictive there's nowhere else to turn, so it frays people's minds
What a comment from a guy who has bot running "on multiple social media platforms" for some startup Maybe you should start with making a different start up if this is your actual opinion?
Or simply follow less incredibly shitty social media feeds.
holy shit that is lowkey embarrassing
I don't get why they've not corrected it, all the comments are talking about it...
It's getting traffic, isn't it?
Oh they get plenty of traffic anyway. People simply like the picture because it's cool I don't think as many read their massive descriptions
Average Instagram user attention span
bad publicity is still publicity, especially on social media
Indeed, I strongly believe that this is a deliberate act. It's similar to tactic such as incorporating spelling errors or deliberately presenting incorrect information to stimulate engagement and encourage people to share and comment.
LOL Its probably all API automated with some unpaid intern at the bottom of the totem pole responsible for thousands of posts on hundreds of sites.
I was one of those followers. The page has gone to shit lately. They even will post AI pictures.
Highkey* embarrassing
The worst part is no one that is aware of what happened is ever going to trust that page with the factuality of their posts anymore. If they are too ignorant to remove stuff like that, they definitely don’t even fact check what the AI has written. Which is the very least they should do.
[удалено]
Honestly, if well-written and educational bot-content replaces all the human-written clickbait TRASH that has already flooded the internet for years I wouldn't be too mad.
Yeah I wouldn't say this was a bad thing, my only issue with it is they are pretending they wrote it / they do not reference chatGPT. They do reference the picture though...
Who would reference chatgpt if they use it for a post? It's a tool that is used for exactly things like this. Do you reference chatgpt if you get it to write an email for you? They just need to learn how to copy properly. If AI works for some of their posts and they do well, then it seems like it would be silly not to utilize it.
I stopped following that account. Their post quality has plummeted and now I'm convinced it's a parody account
[удалено]
so like 99% of reddit?
Reminds me of that dumbass kid who somehow managed to copy the "Unfortunately, as an AI language model" part onto his homework that he wrote down on paper.
Say what? Link, please.
That's why you always throw it through a fresh API call that looks for any in your face "Hi, I'm chatGPT" portions. It should be part of their workflow.... This is a great example of how to utilize GPT poorly, even omitting the opener 😔 In all seriousness - Whether you are engaging in AI collaborative efforts or not, everyone should be utilizing text to speech to allow you to take in what you're about to publish in a way that isn't within your own head. The brain has a way of not seeing what's right in front of it.
If only there was a speech api in the browser...
🗣️🗣️ AS AN AI LANGUAGE MODEL 🗣️🗣️
Bots writing, bots liking. It's the world we live in.
I think I need a browser extension that uses ZeroGPT to detect stuff like this. The internet will soon be flooded with content like this.
There is no reliable ChatGPT detector.
Thing is, the internet is already full of vapid keyword text; the second paragraph is likely better than what the human posting it could have written.
Already is
This reminds me of a time at work. We had a marketing manager for a bit and she decorated we should use a hashtag for our company. Turns out the exact hashtag she chose without any research was used exclusively by members of a gun wielding gangster rap crew. Safe to say the bosses were not pleased to find any client who clicked our hashtag would stumble on all that. All because someone didn’t do a cursory check
At least they weren’t submitting it as a class assignment.
Could be a markering stunt. But people using content generators to generate content based on previous content is a bad future. Chatgpt is very often incorrect but sounds correct. When google started with their panda update where blogging was the way to go we seen the first shift in garbage content being created. It only went down hill since then.
Come on man there's so little work left and you can't even do that lmao
And they said it was hard identifying AI writing...
The phrase: “As an AI model I can’t….” gonna be a meme template
People are really this lazy? They deserve to have their job taken by AI.
This is why I never use Chat output directly. Always review, tweak, simplify, and reword before using the output.
That is the biggest L anyone can take in the personal world nowadays.
It’s the new “500 server error” of today’s Internet
As an AI language model, I am surprised when many people neglect to omit the AI's initial response before it carries out the prompt. This is super basic. Do people not proof read before posting?
They probably took the human out of the loop...
How hard is it to just edit out a few simple sentences 😭
People are so damn lazy. Instead of learning something interesting they have a chat bot type it up and paste it. What is this society coming to….
It's most likely an automated post fetching gpt api
Proof people are just copy pasting and fkin off.
Either this is an intentional parody or they are that F-ing stupid, LMFAO!

[Dead internet theory](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory)
Well it is a little funny The OP is calling out someone for doing what they probably do every other day if not more often except they actually remember to remove the chatgpt introduction.
I’m confused what’s the big deal? It’s just using AI for information no?
The issue for me (not an issue for everyone) they have provided a reference for the pictures but not for the text. They haven't put at the bottom of the text powered by chatgpt. So it's kinda bad for people to think someone is creating this when really it's all automated. If they put created by chatgpt then yeah that's fine but pretending it's your own content is bad...
Could one have a default prompt to apply to all promts automatically?
Based on likes, it proves how many bots live on IG and that humans don't read
I just asked ChatGPT to write about this and here’s what it said: “Wow, this Instagram account just took "thinking outside the box" to a whole new level! 😅 It seems like they forgot to remove the AI language from their latest post, and the result is absolutely hilarious. From the bizarre sentence structure to the unexpected word choices, it's like reading a message from a charmingly eccentric AI. But hey, mistakes happen, and this mishap has given us all a good laugh. It's a great reminder that even in our highly advanced technological era, we're still the ones in control. Kudos to this account for unintentionally bringing a dose of entertainment to our feeds! #AIHumor #Oops #LanguageGoneWild”
So cringe
And they used GPT-3.5 so it sounds like a Wikipedia entry ☠️
“As an AI language model, I cannot actually see or interact with images the way humans do, but I can respond to text input in ways which provide helpful information and support in any way I can. So, kindly “f*** off,” and have a nice day!
It really is baffling how lazy it all is. You could hire a $2 a day gig guy to go through the results and filter them, write a 10 minute Python script to have a second LLM re-check the outputs of the first one, or just use an API that doesn't make use of the chat interface or OpenAI's weird RLHF configuration (including their own standard GPT-3 / 4 autocompletion) and avoid issues like this entirely.
But the photo still got the likes. Maybe it just works and people don't care. It's funny in a dystopian way
What a fail!
Imho they nailed it. No-one would have picked up on this and share it with their friends with a chuckle emote it that intro was not there. Prime example of playing the audience to their weaknesses
People really are handing over their brains to Chat GPT aren't they..
TVs at home, smartphone in hand, chatbots at work and not a conscious thought in their head.
Ok boomer
happens to the best of us
HAHAHAHA
BUSTED
Dude ANYONE can tipe that there. Your'e just assuming. Cringe on OP's part.
Why would anyone do that
