While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem … a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What’s going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?
I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as ‘too strange to be real’. How would you handle this?
Why would I want to waste time to discuss with synthetic entities online? I care about what real people think and have to say and I enjoy the interaction. I don’t like the idea of just talking into a void without anyone real on the other end.
Why not? They’re simply reflections of you either way. Just one is biological, one is not.
