Just curious if there's bots on mastodon that you can attempt interact with. I might make a bot that pretends to be human using ollama just to see how it goes. Because that would be interesting

What is the point? All this serves is to make any community you loose this on objectively worse.

This kind of "project" directly contributes to the degeneration of the internet. Please don't do that.

Get curious see what happens, explore make notes and improve.

I'd recommend that you make an counter AI mastodon bot, btw I'm more than happy to share my findings

Bots are largely a nuisance to the communities they're in; I would advise against making one.

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world -3 points 1 month ago

It will be fun to find out how to make it blend seamlessly

There are on lemmy, actually there's a whole instance, it's called lemmy.ml

[-] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry, when I made this account there were basically no other instances, and now I don't want to move and lose the early adopter bragging rights

Jup. There are a few normal people. The main problem is the mods and admins, who enforce the tankieness on everyone in those communities.

@PixelPilgrim there certainly are. One is going around various platforms on the fediverse under the name of fediversechick.

Make sure that people know that it is infact AI, best to put that into the Name. Else this would be a shitty move honestly

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world -2 points 1 month ago

If you make it obvious it's an AI it will make people more angry. I already know the people that would care about AI bots wouldn't mute the bot they would go agro. If they questions about it being a bot they would hesitate or even look at convincing people that it's a bot as effort that would discourage them.

But I will disclose that it is a bot and communities will have to decide how they want to deal deal with it.

Also if you want evidence for my claim. There's no community that's out there hunting none disclosed ai bots, they're made at me for even convincing the idea of an AI bot

There's a good reason why you should register your bot on platforms like Lemmy or Mastodon: it allows users to filter out bots if they prefer not to engage with them. While experimenting is perfectly acceptable, it's important to respect the etiquette and rules of the community. Failing to register your bot could lead to a ban from the server, depending on its specific guidelines.

I just disclose it because I don't want to insult people's intelligence or gaslight. Plus idk if the mastodon team is attempt to find undisclosed bots

[-] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

It depends on your server instance rules but usually you must disclose.

The only way to win the game of "Bot, or troll?" is not to play and hit the block button instead. Which I will go ahead and do now.

Why make a bot when you can just go on ChatGPT.com?

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world -1 points 1 month ago

I want my computer to interact with other people and see if I can make it more human

[-] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

That sounds like you're planning to waste a bunch of people's time. Not sure what your intent is, but if label it correctly (as AI), few people are going to talk to it like a person, and if you don't, that's a dick move and will also get you banned.

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world -2 points 1 month ago

Lol you think there's justice in this world, but im curious to see what happens and to see what I can do. Apparently it might help with with counter AI measures. My intent is to satisfy my curiosity and see what crazy unexpected shit happens
