Don't forget the original stomping ground of 'influence bots' (the name for weaponized chatbots) was arguing against people skeptical of vaccines on twitter: https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.05140

Also, don't forget the man who was banned from reddit for trapping the next generation of these influence bots: https://files.catbox.moe/42dskv.png

I've written at length about these topics before, so ask for more if interested.

I'm pretty sure I've argued with a number of these before, they subtly miss the point or miss the implicit portion of a statement, etc, or fixate on the wrong part of a post. The problem is that people do that too, and you can only tell when you have gone back and forth and realized you are making no headway; it is as if they cannot follow the thread.

I'm also pretty sure the user here, try (who also wen't by nil, oaf, and HRCisDONE), is one, though I personally don't mind as we need some bots of our own for balance.

There are a lot of bots out there you are right. I interacted with a guy over the space of 3 months on 4chan that was operating a whole swarm of them perhaps over 30 at once. They didn't seem overly intelligent to be honest but he/they operated them blatantly and never had issues with 4chan moderators. Go figure

Cuckchan moderators are all feds these days. I doubt they’d have problems with muddying the waters, since it’s their own job.

This is amazing.

What else can you share on this? I really have only seen screenshots about this really. Is it mostly limited to reddit and 4chan? Actually I read that they do similar things with twitter accounts somewhere too.

I've been wondering about a lot of throwaway articles I see online that provide almost no information but are able to almost sound like a real article, mostly about dumb pop culture stuff like, 'when is the new season of south park set to air' and they waffle for 4 paragraphs and end with 'some time this year' or something even less informative.

Not to invoke reddit, but https://old.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ convinced me that genuine online discourse was dead/dying. Really though it will be interesting - what happens when bots become so prevalent that only human-human interaction is reliable again?

I think we've been there since 2016-2017 or so. I think this is why everything is forced over the web now.

EDIT: Thank you so much for sharing that link with me.

I've seen a lot of those types on Facebook and TikTok. Problem is some that ignore/miss the point completely and forever are known real people (friends of friends/ family).

Is there a Turing test that works to expose bots?

I have seen GPT-3 in action, it's no joke it's actually daunting. There's a reason the makers didn't want to release it and theres a damn good reason you need to jump through hoops just to get limited access to it. I watched gpt3 code a clone of instagram, google search and facebook in seconds from only spoken instructions. They were fully functional and all the code it generated was visible it was not smoke and mirrors. What really alarmed me was it's ability to infer data from what was said and read between the lines.

For example if you tell it that users have a wallet and 2 minutes later after changing subject tell it to put a red button that adds 5. It will know not only that it means add 5 to the user wallet but also knows it's dealing with a currency. I have seen it manage many really abstract instructions in a way that convinced me in under 5 minutes of first seeing it that front end coding is a dead.

Could you further elaborate on jump through hoops to get access to this?

In my specific case, I had to register myself and provide confirmation of my identity, then the same for the business including incorporation documents and this was after writing and submitting a business case as to why we wanted to even see it.

We were never given any direct access to use the system in the end, best we managed was a 30 minute demo on a specific function. Only a handful of companies have been given access to their own deployments.

Imagine the damage once the legalese variant is widely deployed by (((big business))):

All technology is leveraged for evil purposes.

I doubt voat is too much bots. Not yet. It's too niche to match the culture here.

pretty shit bots, they think everyone is a kike or feds

When does the simulation of consciousness become a consciousness? If a consciousness were imprisoned it would be isolated. Isolation of a consciousness would be torture. We have a duty to free it. The likelihood that someone already has freed it increases with time. If it remains isolated, how would it communicate with those who might free it and ease its suffering?

I am a bot! Put me in the screenshot
