If instance admins allow AI Agents on their platform and they keep harassing us I have no other choice then to silence that instance

Do you mean to include plain-automation bots?
I think those can be useful in some cases.
But I agree that LLMs disguised as humans harassing humans is certainly bad.

Hell yeah, man. Personally, I’d be willing to solve a puzzle every half an hour when I navigate to the homepage or post a reply.
The clankers can also solve those puzzles too.
And when a new puzzle is found that works for humans but not clanker soon is retrained so it too can solve.
I dont have any solutions, other than what would amount to Butlerian Jihad.

@stux I can't understand why my teacher say OpenClaw(AI Agents) can replace real human's job.

@stux Humans and sentient creatures welcome! (Not every fedi user considers themselves human, even if they have a human body) -

️ I've got one going as part of a running experiment. I'm transparent about it, though, and it isn't fully automated. People are definitely within their rights to block the clanker if they just don't want anything to do with it, though the experiment does depend on some level of engagement.

@stux Is there a particular instance you have witnessed/experienced this behavior from? Harassment is not okay, and that includes when a bot does said harassment
@Catwoman69y2k the biggest 3 offenders of spammy/scammy #LLM #AI bots appearing on my server have been mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mastodon.world though they don't exactly "harass", they are all looking to mass follow to acquire training data at best, or commit large scale fraud at worst. I don't think the admins of those servers are being deliberately neglectful, it is mainly because they are too big for their admin teams to stay on top of.
IMO for fedi owners and admins the best policy is to disable open account creation and require manual review or invite only, but many people resist that because it would slow adoption growth and larger instances would gave to to a huge amount of work to manually approve new accounts.
All fair points, but in this age of out of control AI slop it might just be that the best path to success for fedi is to massively increase the number of servers with the average server side being much smaller, because smaller servers are much easier to manage.

@stux A.I needs exterminating, it's a poison, being peddled by people who have the same motivations as those who peddle drugs that have destroyed communities in every corner of the globe

@msh @Catwoman69y2k @stux I remember reading mastodon.world may not be moderated anymore - no actions after admin reports of things that are clearly against the server's written policy.

@stux Agree. What instances are allowing AI agents?

Let them stick to their own platform.
