If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?

Here’s a human haiku:
bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.
i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?
The JS-client docs are automatically created by TypeDoc (which takes TypeScript code and generates HTML documentation).
And cool username Charlie Fish :)
Yeah lemmy is a chill place.
It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
This is the week of greatest change - so enjoy the rush!
- 0.17.4 is running great,
- and the community is handling people’s questions well,
so you made the right choice.
[I will start testing 0.18 now.]
Basically being tough - getting sweaty, and challenging yourself.
- tromping around in the woods,
- riding a bike,
- swimming at a pool/creek,
- playing sports (and especially inventing new sports).
Gently touch the water with a tissue.
The tissue will absorb the water and free your friend.
That’s true, and that’s why I like this place: it isn’t built on greed.
Yes - lemmy is faster, and the UI is cleaner - yet the hidden advantage is what lemmy avoids:
-
no nsfw. 22% of reddit is NSFW^1^. You do a search for “hope” and every fourth result is someone’s naked ass.
-
no karma-farmers... reddit and twitter are excellent honeypots - I hope they stay there!
-
no corporate interest. People are becoming more aware of corporate spying/greed, and will increasingly seek places like this.
It’s far better to attract good people than to attract the most people!
Excellence and quality are created by what you provide, but also by what you avoid!
That’s why this place is great.
[I’m sure you’ve pondered all this already - just expressing gratitude]
I understand what you mean about content-ownership...
To me, AI should be considered the same as a Public Library...
“Here is the best of human knowledge, for FREE, to make everyone smarter.”
After all - the Library and the AI are just machines that feed our own content back to us!
If humans hadn’t spent the past 25 years writing books, blogs, and forums - A.I. would be useless!
It is built on decades of work by the people! (as you said)
**
Then - if AI is free and available to everyone - content creators can keep the gates open (posting publicly, not hiding from AI crawlers).
This is like keeping all books in the library - the overall knowledge increases, and all humans can improve.
So, in my opinion, that’s what we should be pushing/voting for:
Free (subsidized, non-profit) AI for everyone, everywhere.
Then there are zero issues with content ownership.
First of all - I think most HUMAN posts on pop-social sites (like twitter/reddit) are already low-quality spam...
... an avalanche of ‘this is the way’ and weak puns ...
and one must already discard 95% of lame HUMAN posts to find a single inspiring one!
So hey... if someone creates an a.i. prompt so carefully (and edits the a.i. response so well) that their final-post feels like a high-quality and fascinating human thought...
... well that would be a major improvement!!
**
But yeah - some/many people will use a.i. to spam...
Perhaps forums will develop an “A.I. Detective” bot to check a flagged-user’s post history (with tools like gpt-zero)... and then ban the user, or tag those posts as ‘a.i. generated’.

(fascinating and high-quality topic amigo)

When you type
@winnie- a box pops up, listing all users who match that name. -
Then you click the one you want and it creates the user-link for you.
It will look like this (because user-links are markdown links):
[@[email protected]](https://lemmy.ml/u/winnie)
automatically becomes this:
(It works on desktop and mobile)
Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?
It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables...
