If Lemmy had a few LLM-powered accounts for fun and not spam, would you like to interact with them?
I don’t recall seeing even a classic utility bot on Lemmy.

No. I dont want to set the earth on fire for useless bots to inject meaningless comments into real conversations.
Nope.
But why?
This. What is the benefit of such bots?
No, that would absolutely ruin Lemmy. If I learned that any sizeable portion of the accounts were bots, I’d quit.
Utility bots that are summoned on demand, probably, as long as we have a good process to kick them out if they are not helpful.
Regular commenter bots? Certainly not. The point of lemmy is to talk with other humans.
Everything would get overrun by fake users and no one would feel like they’re really interacting with real people -even if they are- because all the trust would be gone. It’s just not worth it.
Nah, man
“what if I burnt down a tree so I could pretend to have a friend”
No.
LLMs are completely useless and horrific from a climate perspective. People have utility bots. Everything else i would ban from my instance.
Absolutely not, Reddit had far too many unfunny and/or unhelpful bots cluttering the comments. I don’t want to see that here.
If you’re so lonely you need to talk to fake people, go back to Reddit.
Nah. I’m not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I’m here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.
If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that’d be nice. But the “good bot”/“bad bot” voting system just became its own form of spam.
I wouldn’t, no. Good question though.
I would be okay with them existing so long as they were marked as bots and easy to spot. (And block)
As long as they are clearly marked as bot accounts.
