Bots have increased exponentially lately, and the use of AI has also contributed to this, This also harms regular internet users in various ways.

No, corporate ass hats are to blame

An aside, but there isn’t a wealth of „bot spotting in forums“ articles from the past couple years beyond the basics. If any of you have something recent, I would be grateful for the read.

It’s so annoying to see the bots swarm posts on Reddit all pushing a narrative and downvoting anyone who disagrees. Tbh I’m not sure it always bots I think sometimes it’s troll farms – esp when there’s big news stories or elections

The AI *users* are to blame? And not the companies that are relentlessly pushing this AI bullshit on us?

The enshitification of the internet by giant greedy companies is to blame, corporate dividends and meeting quarterly share holders expectations is to blame. Maybe it is time to just let it all fall apart?

Why are YOU complaining when YOU are an „AI“ user?

And yet how many platforms are taking it seriously?

Just like I’m the reason for global warming cause I didn’t recycle enough. Not companies that don’t recycle or billionaires taking jets to the helipad to ride a helicopter to their yacht. Sure it’s a poor me problem.

1. AI doesn’t exist and will never exist
2. Large language models are not AI. If you knew how they work (which you obviously don’t) you would never call them AI.
3. Large language models are computer programs.
4. Bots had existed before the current large language models were developed

Slop is the new ads. Let it be treated the same, old folks can have it.

They’re talking over parts of the Internet that allow them. Communities can ban the use of A.I. Companies and individuals can reward human talent in writing, coding, etc. I feel like humans are going to become a differentiator if they haven’t already.

platforms spent 15 years optimizing for engagement metrics and now they can’t tell if the engagement is real. they literally built the perfect system for bots to game.

I’m trying to get some attention on a solo music project over on Instagram.
My strategy outside of the usual way of posting and hashtags is to look up similar bands and friend users from their pages in hopes they follow back because they like the music scene and give it a try.
The amount of ai profiles is INSANE!!!!

I’m sorry but if ai gives me a better answer than the bloated, paying sorting focused, „i know you want to search for X but i think you may be interested in Y instead“ searches result you get on the mainstream engines right now,the issue is of the engines themselves.

Don’t blame people using AI as search blame Google for degrading search to the point of being unusable. They knew exactly what they were doing when the hired the former head of yahoo search. Just make it shitty so that people will search and click over and over to drive ad revenue
