So I was on the Mlem app and I see post after post made by bot. I’m assuming this really is a bot? Some new communities only seem to have posts made by bots, and in the text it says that they copied a post from Reddit. What’s going on? I don’t see the same thing when I’m on Lemmy through the weblink. Is there something I should do with those posts? Ignore them? Is there something wrong with the Mlem app?
There is a new generation of hackers trying and learning how to use AI models on everything, I recently saw someone deploy an AI bot on a mobile game called ‘Bullet Echo’ that was learning in real time while playing with me on my team, I uninstalled the game out of frustration knowing that my time is being wasted to train a computer to disguise itself as a real player.
It’s a problem, I’m predicting it will only get worse. sorry.
You’re probably right that the problem will get worse. So maybe we need to decide as a community if we want to let things like this happen.
