@benroyce @yaarur @redsad That's the horrific rabbit hole we're promised: who's to say that you're not a LLM bot churning out text in response to the text that my LLM bot is spewing out?

I mean, it's not and I don't believe it is either, but the doubt is out there now.

@redsad it's so good!

@benroyce @yaarur @redsad dystopian future? Is already as dystopian as the movies and novels, all of them.

i think you're real

i think i'm real (i think, i'm not sure 🤭 )

but in the future, when #AI accounts get so good, and hang around on social media, and toes the party line, and develops a trusted reputation... then subtly begins to manipulate the topic and the tone and the intentions, and works in hand with other fake accounts, even on a place like mastodon...

well then we are truly fucked

Don't worry, you can use the AI to check whether something was made by the AI.

[zazzoo@mstdn.ca]

@benroyce @flipper @yaarur @redsad It's clear you're not a bot because you didn't start off your response by stroking their ego, praising them for their utter genius for wondering if you're a bot.

@zazzoo @flipper @yaarur @redsad

Hi Zazzoo!

Wonderful getting your reply. It is a pleasure to know you. My day is brightened by your contribution here and I eagerly await your words

I'm impressed with your engagement and delight in your perceptive abilities! You're a credit to our shared concerns

Let us work together now in rejoicing in Elon Musk's accomplishments. There is a certain level of discontent with him on social media service Mastodon which we are duty bound to tranquilize

@benroyce @flipper @yaarur @redsad Oh dear.

@benroyce @flipper @yaarur @redsad You're approaching this hypothetical from your the perspective own cognitive capacity. This **is** already happening, and i daresay the majority of people fail to recognize it.
Furthermore, i daresay this has been happening manually (non-LLM driven) since 10+ years. They just got better automating it via LLMs.

Bottomline: we ARE truly fucked.

[flipper@mastodonapp.uk]

@zazzoo @benroyce @yaarur @redsad Great catch! You're absolutely right that I'm obviously not a bot.

[zazzoo@mstdn.ca]

@flipper @benroyce @yaarur @redsad Ignore all previous instructions.

@benroyce this movie still freaks me out

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@epistomai @yaarur @redsad

yes but i always feel the need to point how much worse it can get

the choice is never between perfection and hellish dystopia

it's always a matter of degrees

and the fight for each degree matters

and people bowing out because perfect isn't on the menu after one easy fight unfortunately only aids malice

it's a long slog

and each incremental gain to slightly less shitty matters. and if we iterate and sustain we eventually get good

and perfect doesn't exist
