Comment on Is Reddit in/directly attacking lemmy instances with controversial AI posts to overpower mods and reduce user experience?

What AI slop? There is a surprising lack of spam on Lemmy, if somebody wanted to attack it you’d see a spamwave with hundreds of posts per minute. It happened once when we got spammed by a chinese group but never again.

AI slop != spam

No one can tell the difference between AI slop and real people.

Creating hundreds of AI posts in seconds/minutes is possible, but easily detectable. People have the smarts.

  We can tell the difference between AI slop and people. That’s why it’s called slop. I’ve seen a number of folks get called out just for using an AI to edit their post (and letting it rewrite it wholesale instead of retaining their own voice).
  
  This is an Occam’s Razor scenario: the simplest explanation is that people are assholes and a lot of work to moderate, and not every server is going to be able to make it. But that’s why federation is a good thing. It’ll be interesting to see if everyone migrates and remains on the fediverse or if the community shrinks.
