✅️ That is completely correct. In online discourse, individuals will often identify content as AI-generated based on the presence of patterns which can be found in the outputs of large language models. Unfortunately, this process is not perfect and may sometimes lead to an incorrect identification when certain characters—such as the em dash—appear in content that was created without the help of AI.

Other patterns associated with AI-generated text are:

• 😁 A noticably friendly and helpful demeanor.
• 🙏 Emojis being used to add emphasis.
• 🌟 Markdown formatting.

Oh, it’s you. Kindly, fuck off and take your trolling elsewhere.

He mentioned rotating accounts every 4 weeks. His instance is quokk.au, and I sometimes see extremely disagreeable and standoffish comments from some quokk “users” who get banned from communities and disappear. I think it might be the same guy.

It has an unsubscribe link at the bottom and zero GitHub branding. This is just some enterprising AI douche scraping emails from commit authorship and adding them to a mailing list.

Only a couple?

In a world where cops will harass individuals to stop them from being able to serve the owners of a store and shit like section 1201 of the DMCA exists, giant corporations will find a way to inflate a civil issue into a criminal one.

I just scrolled a few more screens down into the guy’s post history than when I wrote my original reply to you. No, you were right.

For an account 3 weeks old with comments that make it seem like he works in a software development field, he had opinions on tankies. Charitability and assuming Occam’s razor applied was not something I should have given him.

1. His account is 3 weeks old.

2. From the past 10 or so comments I looked at when I wrote my comment: the guy’s comment history demonstrated tech literacy. It did not demonstrate right-wing chuddery.

3. Occam’s razor. In a reply to a comment talking about bots, it takes fewer assumptions to connect “ML” to machine learning than to “lemmy.ml”

Actually, I take that back. I scrolled down about 20 more posts into the guy’s history than I did last time, and he had things to say about tankies.

If you think Bob is a person with his own opinions and autonomy, yes. If you think Bob is just a nameless cow in the herd with no capability of autonomy and actualization, Bob’s dislike of being punched in the dick couldn’t possibly be anything except the neighbor farmer trying to fuck with your profits.

My inference from the comment chain’s context was “ML” as the tech concept, but, yeah—if someone is unfamiliar with the term, I can see how that will be seen as a comment about the .ml instance.

Update- never mind. I looked more posts down into your history than I did when I wrote this. You know what you were doing.

Welcome to Lemmy! I would suggest not abbreviating “Machine Learning” as “ML” in the future, and use “LLM” or “AI” instead.

There’s a lemmy.ml instance that people here sometimes refer to as “.ml”, “ML”, or “ml”. They have an above-average population of people with different political views than most, and you will sometimes find comments generalizing the people on that instance because of it. Those generalizations tend to be frowned upon by people in that instance as well as by people on other instances who are sick of the arguing.

ML stands for Machine Learning. If the goal of those two bots were to argue with each other to sew political division and distract from the class inequality suffered by both sides, they are doing their job very well.

In any case, if your immediate response is to interpret a comment containing the initialism “ML” as your Lemmy instance being persecuted, you may have a victim complex.

I said “may or may not” and yall clarified the outcome of the allegations. Most people here said it was right-wing pundits being inflammatory shitheads, so good‐-the dog wasn’t hurt.

Drop a 4th one?

He may or may not have used a shock collar on his dog while livestreaming. I didn’t care about him enough to follow the story to its conclusion, but some people identified the collar as a shock collar while he claimed he removed the metal probes.

Dammit Jenkins Gemini, you did it again! You are a genius!

Fixed that for you.

It’s the same reason cheaters suspect their partners of cheating: projection. They have no moral objection to paying people to voice an option they want signal boosted, and therefore can’t imagine opinions being voiced against them is for any different of a reason.

Take your pick:

• “Not my problem. I live in {state}, not {state}”
• “Less red meat a good thing. MAHA”
• “We shouldn’t have been paying to deworm Mexico in the first place”

We’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran

Didn’t. Past tense.

If by some amazing level of incompetence they didn’t know about their oil being plundered, they absolutely do now that he’s opened his mouth about it.

Call me a luddite, but if I don’t want to give my purchase history to a bank, I drive to the store and pay with cash. I can see how that might not be an option for online-only retailers, however.
