    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.

          Hello, this is John Cleese. If you doubt that this is the real John Cleese, here is my mother to confirm that I am, in fact, me. Mother! Am I me?

          Oh yes!

          There you have it. I am me.

              Now look here! I was invited to speak with the very real, very human patrons of this fine establishment, and I’ll not have you undermining my efforts to fulfill that obligation!

          If you think that, the US is the only country that does this. I have many, many waterfront properties in the Sahara desert to sell you

            You know I never said that, only that they never mention or can admit that.
            The american bots or online operatives always need to start crying about Russian or Chinese interference on any unrelated subject?
            Like this Shakleford here, who admits he’s worked for the fascist imperialist warcriminal state.
            I’ve seen plenty of US bootlicker bots/operatives and hasbara genocider scum. I can smell them from far.
            Not so much Chinese or Russians.

              Well my friend, if you can’t smell the shit you should probably move away from the farm. Russian and Chinese has a certain scent to it. The same with American. Sounds like you’re just nose blind.

                I know anything said online that goes against the western narrative immediately gets slandered: ‘Russian bots’, ‘100+ social credit’ and that lame BS.
                Paranoid delusional Pavlovian reflexes induced by western propaganda.
                Incapable of fathoming people have another opinion, they must be paid!
                If that’s the mindset hen you will see indeed a lot of those.
                The most obvious ones to spot are definitely the Hasbara types, same pattern and vocab, and really bad at what they do.

                  I mean that’s just like your opinion man.

                  However, there are for a fact government assets promoting those opinions and herding those clueless people. What a lot of people failed to realize is that this isn’t a 2v1 or even a 3v1 fight. This is an international free-for-all with upwards of 45 different countries getting in on the melee.

                    And who has the advantage?
                    Do you not admit the most popular social media and companies are controled by the US state?
                    Reddit, Meta, Alphabet…

      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

      There’s no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine.

      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’m conflicted by that term. Is it ok that it’s been shortened to “glow”?

          Conflict? A good image is a good image regardless of its provenance. And yes 2020s era 4chan was pretty much glowboy central, one look at the top posts by country of origin said as much. It arguably wasn’t worth bothering with since 2015
