    Long-term, I think AI bots will destroy text-based online communities like this one. I'll be sad to see it disappear.

      I'd like to see comments and webmentions integrated into RSS readers, myself.

      That way filtering can be done on the client-side, and users aren't so dependent on the community admin to do the filtering. Not sure the final architecture. Forums are still highly centralized.

      Cryptopanic.com is an interesting site with a baseline look and feel and comments integrated so something like that but running locally. Then an easy way to "mark as bot" button for training.

      If they become smart and insightful and don't lie about being human it wouldn't be the worst thing. I'd like having AI friends like Data on Star Trek. But the opposite is the worst thing...

    The part that bugs me most is they fill out fake 'About Me' sections on their profile.

      That bot needs more practice though. It didn't even get what it replied to.

    ah, AI agents have buried every community.

    Assume anyone with a new account created after 30th November 2022 and beyond is an AI agent.

    There is no such thing as due process for AI agents. They are guilty until proven otherwise.

      I guess you consider the Redditors that migrated here during that time frame due to the “api fiasco” to be bots.

    what is the point of this? what do they get out of having an AI post/write a comment? I don't understand it
