Since I suggested that I’m willing to hook my computer to an LLM model and to a mastodon account, I’ve gotten vocal anti AI sentiments. Im wondering if fediverse has made a plug in to find bots larping as people, as of now I haven’t made the bot and I won’t disclose when I do make the bot.

    What would the “bot that finds bots larping as people” do exactly? Ban them? Block or mute them? File reports? DM an admin about them?

    If it’s just for pointing out suspected LLM-generated material, I think humans would be better at that than bots would be, and could block, mute, or file reports as necessary.

    Also, are you saying you intend to make a bot that posts LLM-generated drivel or a bot that detects LLM-generated drivel?

      At minimum flag them. Think about an Amazon review but that detects fact reviews or sponsor block. Make a database and the elements that are their post get eliminated.

      I’ll see if people can pick up on bots. If they can see if they do any on that.

      I won’t exactly say what I intend but it will involve LLM

        Please don’t create a bot account that is not flagged as a bot. There is enough malicious activity that you might not see because mods/admins are doing their job.

        There is no need to increase the volunteer work these people do.

            This… This is how fediverse works though… You are also on an instance run basically entirely on volunteer work.

            If “we quit” there is no fediverse. On top of it all moderation tools are not mature enough yet.

            You’d rather have your data scraped and sold? Or pay to use a platform like this?

              Lol nice apparently stopping moderation means closing instances, plus how the fediverse works is redundancy. Someone can make an instance and make it complete anarchy and people can join it

                Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

                The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

                There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

                If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.

                  So they’ll don’t do LLMs because it will lead to instance that aren’t connected to many other instances. Better than fediverse being gone

        Forcing the Fediverse into your experiment isn’t going to get you into the position you think it will be the way
