Everything on here is awesome right now, it feels like an online forum from the 2000s, everyone is friendly, optimistic, it feels like the start to something big.

Well, as we all know, AI has gotten very smart to the point captcha’s are useless, and it can engage in social forums disguised as a human.

With Reddit turning into propaganda central anda greedy CEO that has the motive to sell Reddit data to AI farms, I worry that the AI will be able to be prompted to target websites such as the websites in the fediverse.

Right now it sounds like paranoia, but I think we are closer to this reality than we may know.

Reddit has gotten nuked, so we built a new community, everyone is pleasantly surprised by the change of vibe around here, the over all friendlyness, and the nostalgia of old forums.

Could this be the calm before the storm?

How will the fediverse protect its self from these hypothetical bot armies?

Do you think Reddit/big companies will make attacks on the fediverse?

Do you think clickbait posts will start popping up in pursuit of ad revenue?

What are your thoughts and insights on this new “internet 2.0”?

    There is no AI so far. It’s only “AI”.

    Nowdays “AI” are just databases with text content.

    Your input is text and every word is analyzed. It will give you answer if that word is same like word in database / index + using a lot of non-saying words for making it longer.

    I tried several times some programming questions.

    One of them was - (index == AI) … it’s an question if index is AI … first answer was something like “I don’t understand, be more specific”.
    It gave me long article about why AI is not index after 10 minutes (second try).

    So no worry, “AI” is still far away from being AI
