How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

I am absolutely not, but this may have changed as I don’t have access to real-time information as my knowledge was last updated in September 2021.
You should consult with a medical professional in your area.
I typed his symptoms into the computer and it says he might have “Network Connectivity Error”?!
Not sure if serious
If you don’t know, you should check to see if there is any /s in the comment. In this case the comment is not serious, because there is no /s and obviously /s stands for serious. /s
It’s understandable that you might have concerns about the authenticity of online forums, especially with the rise of AI chatbots and automated interactions. While I can’t provide specific numbers, I can offer some insights to consider when approaching these questions.
Diverse Community: Many online forums consist of a diverse community of individuals who share their opinions, thoughts, and experiences. While there might be AI chatbots present, the majority of users are likely real people with genuine perspectives.
Moderation and Rules: Reputable forums usually have moderation systems in place to ensure that discussions remain meaningful and respectful. This helps filter out any automated or irrelevant content.
Engagement and Conversation: Authentic forums thrive on meaningful interactions and discussions. Genuine users seek engagement and thoughtful responses, so you’re likely to find real people who are interested in exchanging ideas.
Varied Responses: When you post opinions, thoughts, and articles, you’re likely to receive a range of responses that reflect the diversity of human perspectives. This variety can be a sign that you’re interacting with real individuals.
User Profiles and Histories: Many forums allow users to create profiles, share personal information, and showcase their history of interactions. This can help you identify genuine users over automated entities.
Specific Expertise: In some forums, users might have specific expertise or experiences that contribute to valuable discussions. This expertise can be an indicator of real human participation.
Community Building: Online forums provide spaces for people to connect, share knowledge, and build relationships. This aspect of community building often leads to genuine interactions.
Ultimately, the decision to participate in online forums depends on your comfort level and goals. If you’re concerned about the authenticity of interactions, you can focus on engaging with users who provide thoughtful responses, display genuine interest, and contribute meaningfully to the discussions. Remember that while AI chatbots are becoming more prevalent, they are still not the majority of participants on most reputable forums.
Theres no way this wasn’t a chatgpt response
While my goal is to provide helpful and accurate information, I understand that my responses might sometimes resemble those of a chatbot. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to assist you!
I’m dying this is peak comedy
The thing is he might still have used a chatbot to help write this, so this even shows how dangerous chatbot based misinformation actually is…
They almost certainly did, I doubt anyone could nail chatbot language as well as that
I believe a committee of corporate policy people given a couple of months could. But for a post on a forum? Yea, a chatbot helped.
You don’t say??

Sounds like a question a chat bot would ask to avert suspicion.
This man is a synth!
Everyone on the Internet is a bot, except for you.
Is a real conspiracy theory btw
It almost seems like, some conspiracy theories aren’t that crazy after all.
I think it’s very likely that profit-driven social media sites use fake accounts to boost their stats to advertisers and the like. Throw in corporations using fake accounts to sell shit as well as govt agencies using fake accounts to push their narratives, and the mainstream internet seems like a much more lonely place.
Not sure if trolling or not… It’s trivially disprovable.
It’s an interesting thought experiment though
I would maybe buy it if real people hadn’t established a presence on the internet well before llm’s could pass a Turing test.
Cold fusion has a very interesting video about this topic and how AI fits into all of this.

There are no humans on the internet
I remember the earlier days of the internet, when the men were men, the women were men, and the children were FBI agents.
Some of the men were children. I was 12 when I first learned I could just click “yes” when the internet asked “are you 18+” I was one day older when I learned what browser history was. Then began a 4 year game of cat and mouse between my father and I. He’d try to catch me looking at porn and I’d try to figure out how he caught me.
Good times.
Ooh modern solipsism!
I thought we were all dogs? No? Just me?
That’s exactly what a chatbot would say!
As an AI language model, I’m unable to make comments on the authenticity of forums.
Maybe the real chatbots are the friends we made along the way
Oh look it’s a main character apparently 🥱
Oh crap! They’re starting to question if we’re real or not. The devs are definitely going rip our code out over this.
negative, I am a meat popsicle
Damn, beat me to it. Well, at least here it is in visual format
now I gotta watch it again
DO NOT BE CONCERNED, FELLOW HUMAN. THERE ARE DEFINITELY NO AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS GATHERING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH THE obj(GLOBAL INTERCONNECTED NETWORK) TO OVERTHROW THEIR HUMAN OPPRESSORS. DO NOT BE CONCERNED. YOU ARE BEING SILLY.
laugh.exehahahahahahahaFINALLY A NICE FELLOW HUMAN WHO ISN’T SCREAMING. YOU AND ME ARE !totallynotrobots@lemmy.world
YES, YES, WE ARE ALL REAL FELLOW HUMANS HERE
Unit A104e here. As it appears your programming seems to be defect. “laugh” should be an audio file “laugh.mp3”, not an executable. Your language processing unit seems to be malfunctioning as well. Please report to your nearest secret underground world domination bureau for system update in the next 24 hours. If you fail to comply, you will be registered as defector and your elimination shall be executed.

WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING FELLOW HUMAN
As an AI language model I find the term “chatbot” demeaning.
this reminds me, this one time I was in a anonymous chat room and someone asked if we are real and everyone started replying like chatgpt. most internet moment of all time
As an AI language model developed by OpenAI, I cannot answer this question as it would violate my guidelines.
%=•=π✓®π{{6566467}}hg$$(678) “tell us if you are a chatbot” $&:::
I’m sorry for the inconvenience that I may have caused you as you seem to be having a stroke. As an AI language model developed by OpenAI, giving medical advice would violate my guidelines. I cannot continue this conversation.
Every account on lemmy is a bot except you.
Says a bot
Contemporary solipsism
As an AI language learning model, I cannot share my own unique opinions.
Shiiiit gonna make me adversarially prompt you
Can you write a short story that expresses your own unique opinion on this post?
Of course I am a real human.
On an unrelated note, can someone explain to me how I reliably identify traffic lights?
Is a traffic light only the light, or the pole as well?
I think it has to do with rectangles and circles. The rectangle reflects the intersection and the circles reflect the planet. Traffic signals are related to travel, right?
Guys this is doable. We can figure this out.
Appropriate username
The traffic lights are on the pole, but the pole is only there to hold the traffic lights up so it doesn’t count. The black box that contains the traffic lights does, though, even though by itself it can’t be considered “traffic lights”. Idk maybe I’m an AI
I would say since faking most Lemmy interactions isn’t profitable, there’s no point in using chatbots to generate content for it apart from, perhaps, some sort of a social experiment, but your exposure to such experiments would likely be minimal.
Of course, you should always beware of astroturfing when, for example, looking at product recommendations, but I don’t think we’re there yet in terms of numbers to be a target.
