    You’ll get your refund eventually but first it will try and gaslight you that Air Canada is a woke mind virus before calling you an asshole and then stalking you.

      “instead of the $3.50 refund, I’m also authorized to offer you some June 2025 $350 GME calls.”

    If it’s trained on the average Reddit reply: $420.69, nice.

    I just want to mark the occasion when my previous comment is on 69 points. Noice.

  What possible use is that?

  I’ve noticed “has this sub gotten more right wing recently?” posts reaching the top post of the day in the last 6 months or so. r/norge and r/unitedkingdom being examples. You can automate bots that change a subreddit’s consensus on certain topics by bot-spamming threads pertaining to those topics, especially in the first hour of a thread going up. I don’t know if that’s happening, or if it has more to do with the Reddit protest that saw mods abdicate their positions last June and new mods being responsible for the change… but it could also be a bit of both.

    Do you propose more bots in order to steer the public opinion? That could indeed generate serious money for reddit I suppose!

  Negative examples are often just as useful for training an AI as positive ones. And it all depends on what you want to use the AI for. A moderator bot, for example, needs familiarity with the whole range of user responses it might see.

    That gives me actually a fun idea for a Lemmy instance, it has an automated review process that bans posts/comments that are too similar to reddit posts/comments.

  A redditor bot is a viable example of a forum member bot.

  IMO, I don’t think it can drive topics, but it could make things controversial.

  A LLM that behaves like a typical Redditor? // What possible use is that?

  • [You] “Chatbot, please tell me which pokemon types are strong against Fairy.”
  • [Le Lebbit Moronbot] “I’m not sure if I understand, you calling me a chatbot? I’m so confused lol”
  • [You] “Moronbot, please tell me which pokemon types are strong against Fairy.”
  • [LLM] “Actually, you should be spelling it “Pokémon” lol”
  • [You] “Moronbot, which types are strong against Fairy?”
  • [LLM] “I assume you talking about fairies. Fairies are from mythology lmao”
  • [You] “Did people really waste water and electricity for this trash?”
  • [LLM] “Waaah, you’re toxic!!111one”
