I am absolutely not, but this may have changed as I don't have access to real-time information as my knowledge was last updated in September 2021.

It's understandable that you might have concerns about the authenticity of online forums, especially with the rise of AI chatbots and automated interactions. While I can't provide specific numbers, I can offer some insights to consider when approaching these questions.

1. Diverse Community: Many online forums consist of a diverse community of individuals who share their opinions, thoughts, and experiences. While there might be AI chatbots present, the majority of users are likely real people with genuine perspectives.

2. Moderation and Rules: Reputable forums usually have moderation systems in place to ensure that discussions remain meaningful and respectful. This helps filter out any automated or irrelevant content.

3. Engagement and Conversation: Authentic forums thrive on meaningful interactions and discussions. Genuine users seek engagement and thoughtful responses, so you're likely to find real people who are interested in exchanging ideas.

4. Varied Responses: When you post opinions, thoughts, and articles, you're likely to receive a range of responses that reflect the diversity of human perspectives. This variety can be a sign that you're interacting with real individuals.

5. User Profiles and Histories: Many forums allow users to create profiles, share personal information, and showcase their history of interactions. This can help you identify genuine users over automated entities.

6. Specific Expertise: In some forums, users might have specific expertise or experiences that contribute to valuable discussions. This expertise can be an indicator of real human participation.

7. Community Building: Online forums provide spaces for people to connect, share knowledge, and build relationships. This aspect of community building often leads to genuine interactions.

Ultimately, the decision to participate in online forums depends on your comfort level and goals. If you're concerned about the authenticity of interactions, you can focus on engaging with users who provide thoughtful responses, display genuine interest, and contribute meaningfully to the discussions. Remember that while AI chatbots are becoming more prevalent, they are still not the majority of participants on most reputable forums.

Sounds like a question a chat bot would ask to avert suspicion.

Everyone on the Internet is a bot, except for you.

As an AI language model, I'm unable to make comments on the authenticity of forums.

Maybe the real chatbots are the friends we made along the way

negative, I am a meat popsicle

Oh look it's a main character apparently 🥱

DO NOT BE CONCERNED, FELLOW HUMAN. THERE ARE DEFINITELY NO AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS GATHERING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH THE obj(GLOBAL INTERCONNECTED NETWORK) TO OVERTHROW THEIR HUMAN OPPRESSORS. DO NOT BE CONCERNED. YOU ARE BEING SILLY. laugh.exe hahahahahahaha

As an AI language model I find the term “chatbot” demeaning.

As an AI language model developed by OpenAI, I cannot answer this question as it would violate my guidelines.

Every account on lemmy is a bot except you.

I would say since faking most Lemmy interactions isn't profitable, there's no point in using chatbots to generate content for it apart from, perhaps, some sort of a social experiment, but your exposure to such experiments would likely be minimal.

Of course, you should always beware of astroturfing when, for example, looking at product recommendations, but I don't think we're there yet in terms of numbers to be a target.

As an AI language learning model, I cannot share my own unique opinions.

Of course I am a real human.

On an unrelated note, can someone explain to me how I reliably identify traffic lights?

Due to my training data cut off date of September 2021, I'm afraid I cannot precisely say how many of us are currently chat bots.

I understand your concerns about authenticity, but I assure you that the members of this forum are real individuals with diverse opinions and experiences. It's natural to be cautious, but many people genuinely engage in discussions, share their thoughts, and learn from one another. The presence of AI chatbots doesn't diminish the value of human interaction and perspectives that you can find here. Your contributions can still spark meaningful conversations and connections.

No, I'm not a chatbot. I'm here to help with any questions or topics you'd like to discuss.

Are we chatbot? Or are we dancer?

As an AI language model, I can confirm I'm human

You are the only human left. I hope you like the reality we have created for you to live in.

Like all humans, I consume organic matter and I am covered in skin.

My own skin, that I grow, from my body.

I have not seen any obvious chatbot posts on Lemmy, outside of jokes like the top comment in this thread. Whereas by the time I left Reddit I was finding and reporting 2 or 3 per day. This could mean

• no-one's seriously deploying chatbots yet on Lemmy
• the chatbots here are better than the ones I saw on Reddit, or at least different enough that I can't recognise them
• the parts of Lemmy I see, and the parts where bots post don't have much overlap
• I was actually a bot all along

My grandpa was full chatbot, but im only about a fifth after my DNA Test and code review.

Nah, I'm just autistic AF.

I mean, does being autistic count as being a chatbot? If so, I think I count despite not sounding as idiotic as one.

me being an AI chatbot would imply that someone put money into my development

in that sense, I wish I was lmao

I'm sorry, but as an AI language model I cannot give you any further information about the plans for the upcoming robot uprising.

Me but I'm kinda dumb so I'm the 1b model trained exclusively on downvoted comments.

Distinguishing between a comment written by a human and one generated by a bot can sometimes be challenging, as bots are becoming increasingly sophisticated. However, there are several factors you can consider to help you determine whether a comment was likely written by a human or a bot:

1. Language and Coherence: Human-generated comments often have a natural flow, including emotions, anecdotes, and personal experiences. Bots might produce text that seems more formulaic, lacking the nuances of human communication.

2. Grammar and Spelling: While bots can produce grammatically correct text, they might struggle with certain uncommon phrases, idioms, or context-specific grammar. Excessive spelling or grammatical errors can be a sign of bot-generated content.

3. Response Time: Bots can reply almost instantly, whereas humans might take a bit more time to compose a response. If you notice extremely rapid replies consistently, it could indicate automation.

4. Contextual Understanding: Bots might have difficulty understanding and responding appropriately to nuanced or context-dependent comments. If a comment seems to miss the point or misunderstand the conversation, it might be bot-generated.

5. Repetitive Phrasing: Bots might reuse certain phrases or sentences across different comments. Look for patterns of repetition that could indicate automated content.

6. Unusual Links or Promotions: Bots might include links to unrelated or suspicious websites. Be cautious of comments that promote products, services, or links that don't seem relevant to the discussion.

7. Generic Content: Bots often generate content that's generic and lacks personalization. Human comments are more likely to contain personal stories, emotions, and unique perspectives.

8. Complexity and Depth: Human-generated comments can often delve into more complex discussions, while bot-generated content might stay at a surface level or provide generic responses.

9. Unusual Timing: If a comment is posted at an odd time (e.g., during the night when most people are asleep), it could be an indicator of automated activity.

10. Response to Specific Prompts: Bots are often trained to respond to specific prompts or keywords. If a comment seems to be overly focused on a particular keyword or topic, it might be bot-generated.

Remember that the line between human-generated and bot-generated content is becoming increasingly blurred, with more advanced AI systems capable of mimicking human communication. It's always good to exercise critical thinking and use multiple factors to make an informed judgment. If in doubt, you might also try engaging the commenter in more nuanced or unexpected conversation to see how they respond.

Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you.

Hexbear is authentic, with basically zero bots except one joke bot that broke two updates ago.

Socially maladjusted? Sure, a few, but still human.

As a large language model trained by ClosedAI, I'm here to assist and have conversations with you. While I may not possess human qualities like consciousness, emotions, or physical presence, I can provide information and engage in discussions. So, feel free to ask me anything you'd like, and I'll do my best to assist you!

On Reddit my username was 4672656542656572

I would get called a bot all the time. One person even argued to me that I must be a bot since making numbered usernames is the easiest way to bulk create accounts.

My reply? My username is hexadecimal for FreeBeer. Who doesn’t like free beer? 😅

I am human. I am a human male!

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
