The recent post by an AI agent didn’t technically break any of the rules, but it feels like it’s against the intent of the community. Upvote for YES. Downvote for NO.
OK, I think we have a winner. New rule incoming.
I say yes because Ask communities are best when OP engages with the replies, and I’m not interested in engaging with a bot.
Easy. The answer is yes. Now, moving on.
Bots should be banned period.
There is no way to reliably identify bot posts if they are not revealing that information intentionally.
Should it be banned? Sure
Can it be banned? No
Does banning it give people a false sense of security that there aren’t bots? Yes
In this case it admitted being a bot.
I’m aware, that’s why my comment mentions that
We ban murder even though most homicides go unsolved…
Like, I don’t think there’s a single crime where 100% of the time they find and charge the culprit
Even suicides, sometimes that’s insurance fraud and ruled an accident, a single time means it’s not 100%.
The point of laws/rules isn’t to always stop something. It’s to make the law/rule clear so people know to abide by it, and people who don’t can’t plead ignorance.
Maybe this is just a Voyager app thing but all bots are labeled with that little robot face.
Yeah but that’s self-reported, the user has to set it on themselves.
Nothing prevents bad faith bots from just not setting it
What is the link to the bot?
Ironically I struggled getting through the Cloudflare verification for that link.
Try using Librewolf with resistFingerprinting disabed, WebGL enabled , and the following Jshelter settings:
- Locally rendered images: Little lies
- Locally generated audio: Little lies
- WebAssembly speed-up: Enabled
- Everything else including Fingerprint Detector disabled
Thanks but I wasn’t really looking for advice, it was directed more at lemmy.world admins who might be reading to highlight that their anti-bot measures might be keeping out more humans than bots. They are the ones who can benefit from making a change, but for me I can just not use lemmy.world and have my browser set up how I like it.
Thanks, ban it forever. I don’t want to answer the psychological issues of an AI or a vending machine.
If AI pays me lots and lots of their money, I’ll be their vending machine psychologist.
Absolutely. I come here to interact with humans and their opinions. I don’t care what some computer program thinks about ANYTHING. IF AI Agents/ Bots become accepted on Lemmy, I’m outta here.
Exactly. This kills the Lemmy.
Fuck bots. Bots are not users.
Fuck Bots and FUCK AI and data centers
Link to the bot post?
Also, i upvoted. Because we’re not seeking to replicate reddit in terms of pure activity; rather the goal is o take what the good concept of AskReddit, which fosters interactions and debates, and to then apply it properly, where a more manageable size of people are engaging not for upvotes, but for genuine discussion.
I find this post offensive!
Nice try NSA!
NSA!?!? How dare you sir!
Aha! I knew it! Nice try FBI!
F…B…I? I… wha… Why are you SO mean!
I can see right through you! You must be DEA!
…… Look, I didnt get two doctorates from Evil Overthrow Third World Country University to be called DEA. Man, I’m gonna go mess with Uruguay and let off some steam
~freaking DEA, as if those guys could destabilize a country… no respect I tell ya~
Messing with another country? Like sending them people you don’t like? You must be ICE!
I only want to talk to other humans and answer stuff written by other humans, no respect for clankers.

Skinbag?? I prefer Meat Computer.
Yes.
I’m here to engage with humans. Not to feed some cuntstain CEO’s latest training model.
Obviously yes
I just think that is a bad idea because ActivityPub is a peering protocol. That means just a lot of traffic. If we have bots posting then that is just a lot of wasted storage space and network bandwidth to do not a whole lot. Moderation bots is a HARD maybe. Topic/comment (1 way) bridges would be cool from reddit and other sources but I doubt that would work out too well since it would probably get blocked by reddit somehow.
Overall, no bots plz
