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.
Personally, I do not have any automatism to detect LLMs larping as people. But I do review accounts that follow or interact with mine, and if I find any that are bots, I’ll enact counter measures. That may involve reporting them to their server admin (most instances don’t take kindly to such bots), blocking their entire instance, or in extreme cases, start serving them garbage interactions.
Alright so what if there’s 500 undisclosed bots running around and they have various quality of interactions or if there’s a constant influx of new LLM bots?
I don’t understand why you want to do this so badly? I don’t care how a bot responds. Why would I want to have a conversation with one on social media?
Gotta love it when my questions get ignored and I just get met with another question, but since I’m the only one who’s certain about whwt they’re doing. It’s evolution, I want to see how systems change and how dynamic they can be, maybe something I never thought of emerges
Perhaps I was too quick to answer this due to seeing your other questions, but it seemed like you’re just trying to change your wording to get people to agree with you… to me.
To me it seems that you’re wanting to run a social experiment in the threadiverse without actually disclosing that you’re running a social experiment, while flaunting the community norms of marking bots (voluntarily).
Yeah Lemmy community is all about norms are, approval, and what’s socially allowed. I guess I think more like a CEO and see what’s legally allowed, allowed by the instance and rules. Ironically lemmy mods will ignore community rules and ban you even if you’re within scope of the rules.
But I have no idea how I changed my words to get people to agree with me. I’m trying to pry into people’s reasons as to how I should operate. Your reason are more important than my relationship to you
You don’t understand the value of someone red teaming?
If any of those end up interacting with me, or I otherwise see them on my timeline, they’ll get treated appropriately: reported, blocked, or in extreme cases, served garbage interactions to. Serving garbage to 500+ bots is laughably easy. Every day I have over 5 million requests from various AI scrapers, from thousands of unique IP addresses, and I serve them garbage. It doesn’t make a blip on my tiny VPS: in just the past 24 hours, I served 5.2M requests from AI scrapers, from ~2100 unique IP addresses, using 60Mb memory and a mere 2.5 hours of CPU time. I can do that on a potato.
But first: they have to interact with me. As I am on a single-user instance, chances are, by the time any bot would get to try and spam me, a bigger server already had them reported and blocked (and I periodically review blocks from larger instances I trust, so there’s a good chance I’d block most bots before they have a chance of interacting with me).
This is not a fight bots can win.
I’m i can understand blocking 500 bots you think are garbage. I guess you can deal with the traffic of bots but not so much their content
