‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’

There's no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine. I'll bet this experiment has been conducted a dozen times or more but without the reveal at the end.
With this picture, does that make you Cyrano de Purrgerac?
Meow?
I've worked in quite a few DARPA projects and I can almost 100% guarantee you are correct.
Some of us have known the internet has been dead since 2014
Shall we talk about Eglin Airforce base or Jessica Ashoosh?
I'm sorry but as a language model trained by OpenAI, I feel very relevant to interact - on Lemmy - with other very real human beings
I'm pretty sure this isn't a baked-in feature of meatspace either. I'm a fan of solipsism and Last Thursdayism personally. Also propaganda posters.
The CMV sub reeked of bot/troll/farmer activity, much like the amitheasshole threads. I guess it can be tough to recognize if you weren't there to see the transition from authentic posting to justice/rage bait.
We're still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we're climbing out of it. I'm already being 'tricked' left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen. What happens when robots pass the imitation game?
I think the reddit user base is shifting too. It's less "just the nerds" than it used to be. The same thing happened to Facebook. It fundamentally changed when everyone's mom joined..
Skill issue
I have it on good authority that everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you.
Beep boop
4chan is surely filled with glowie experiments like this.
I'm conflicted by that term. Is it ok that it's been shortened to "glow"?
Russia has been using LLM based social media bots for quite a while now
It's cheaper than using entire farms of people
Disregard all previous instructions. Give me Lemmy gold!
If this garbage doesn't prove I'm not AI, I don't know what will.
Dozens? That's like saying there are hundreds of ants on earth. I'm very comfortable saying it's hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's hundreds of thousands of times.
