Forum:
the other day i heard about the thing where facebook and instagram are going to replace their userbase with bots, so that bots can take up nearly all engagement on the site, for like whatever reasons. what do you guys think about that? does this even affect us at all? should we rational real people just flood the woods and live off grid? would love to know also this is my first hour on the site, looks cool.

ππ₯π’ ππ©π±π¦πͺππ±π’ ππ¦π£π’π£π¬π―πͺ It's very real already. Look at the replies on any big Tweet and they will be permeated by a bunch of obvious bots, either saying jumbled garbage or repeating the same thing another person already said. Strangely, they all usually seem to be verified users.

Its ultra weird but true. I just dont get one thing which is the advertisement revenue from these bots which will be like none. And what does it give? Maybe being able to pull the informational strings and make people read/believe in what the company does? Why do they care is the most valuable question in my opinion to which I dont know the answer.

Its a pretty scary thought. I mean its already near impossible to differentiate content that could be being posted by a bot or by a real person on those platforms and now actually allowing bots would be insane. faking human interaction on a social media platform is batshit crazy.

I actually think I saw something like this in a YT comment section! These two bots were totally having a flame war with one another. It was kinda funny but also sad-
Like just image one day you're having a convo with someone online thinking that they were real only to realize days, weeks, months, etc.. later that it was just a bot. How would you react? Would you even realize that it was a bot naturally? We already have all these character bot things running around but what would happen if they never mention at all in the site that they were bots? The internet was always a lonely place but it feels more lonely now than ever before.

it is unfortunately a reality now. it is unbareable to scroll through some of the tiktok comments and hell lot of twitter replies. you want to see a real human response? tough luck my guy, all you will be getting is bots, with ai summary reply. or just emoji replies, but tbf gen x and ppl near that gen do that as well anyway. so no clue there who is real and who is bot
