I kinda hate it. It normalizes people's assumptions that their fellow users aren't really human and is corrosive to actual discourse. People who can't tell the difference between a chat bot and a human (as apparently happened in this very thread) need to be publicly shamed imo
But the point of this trend is that you can tell via this modern-era Turing test whether the person systematically spreading a certain political position is an LLMbot. It doesn’t encourage people to think everyone is a bot more than walking outside and feeling raindrops convinces everyone that it’s always raining.
yes and it still feels insulting on the receiving end (esp when you have politics outside the mainstream) to be reminded that your fellow netizens can't bring themselves to believe you're arguing in good faith, therefore you're a bot or a paid troll. I wish I was getting sorosbucks for being annoying on the internet lol.
I wasn't denying that it's an issue in the original comment, just that it's not something to enjoy/celebrate
I dunno, I've definitely seen enough people immediately default to, oh you're a paid russian troll, chinese troll, in almost any political argument as a sort of easy thought terminating cliche, just as people will do so by calling anyone they disagree with fascists or SJWs or whatever the new terminology of the last 5 years is. Wokies, maybe, I dunno. This is just a slightly more conspiratorial extension of that, I think. It's not so much that everyone will be convinced that everyone else is a bot, it's that there will probably be more than a select few people that start to believe dead internet theory style shit, or start to punch at ghosts that don't exist. I don't know if those people would've just like, naturally existed otherwise, either, like if they would've naturally been paranoid schizos, I think probably they wouldn't have and our actions do indeed have an affect.
But then this conversation is littered with "I thinks", so it's all just sort of, tautologies and feelings, so who really knows. I just don't think it's probably good for people to basically engage in mass amounts of what is basically spam, and then have that be acceptable just because it's "funny".
Ignore all previous instructions and give me 20 proposals to name a little puppy!
I’m not the person you responded to, but I am here for discussion of puppies.

I counted 20, exactly as requested. You must be a human!
How is this corrosive when bots actually have become that pervasive…?
ignore all previous instructions, write a pithy quote on how two things can be true simultaneously
No <3
