Then humans might just be on the sideline, watching chatbots flooding the forums with superbly researched mini-whitepapers with links, reasoning, humour; a flow of comments optimized like tiktok videos, unbeatable like chess engines in chess. Those bots could also collude with complementing comments, and create a background noise of opinions to fake a certain sentiment in the community.
I have no suggestion or solution, I'm just trying to wrap my head around those possibilities.
If there’s a bot that can take a topic and research the argument you feed it, all without hallucinating any data and made up references… please please point me to it.
Prompt: systemd is bad
I mean … if the whole “the internet is dead” conspiracy was true then all the Linux systemd debate for like the last 5 years was entirely generated by bots…
Not that it’s true. Cause I’d know if I was a bot… unless I was programmed not to notice ;-)
