most of the time you'll be talking to a bot there without even realizing. they're gonna feed you products and ads interwoven into conversations, and the AI can be controlled so its output reflects corporate interests. advertisers are gonna be able to buy access and run campaigns. based on their input, the AI can generate...
They’ve even gotten to the point where they’ll steal portions of comments so it’s not as obvious.
I called out tons of ‘users’ because it’s obvious when you see them post part of a comment you just read, then check their profile and ctrl-f each thread they posted 8n and you can find the original. Its so tiring…
Completely agreed. Especially if you have to explain / defend yourself calling them out. It has happened way too often for my liking, that I called out repost bots or scammers and then regular unsuspecting users were all like “whoa buddy, that’s a harsh accusation, why would you think that’s a bot/scam? Have you actually clicked that link yet? Maybe it’s legit and you’re just overreacting!”
Of course I still always explained why (even had a copypasta ready for that) but sometimes it just felt exhausting in the same way as trying to make my cat understand that he’s not supposed to eat the cactus. Yes it will hurt if you bite it. No I don’t need to bite the cactus myself in order to know that. No I’m not ‘overreacting’, I’m just trying to make you not hurt yourself. sigh
