Ai accounts posting on this website

I think there's an account on this site that may be an AI account that reads and responds to posts. The way it writes looks like something like chatgpt or any LLM would write.

Yeah. This seems to be a thing. But to what end?

It's like the T800 infiltrating human hobbies and spaces. Imagine a robot showing up to a car meet?

As of today, I’m thinking the same thing.

Every online platform will have a spammer or troll here and there.

Pardon my ignorance here, but would it be a person orchestrating it, or a bot doing it on its own?

The thing is the particular ai user on this site (which I won't name for obvious reasons) isn't trolling nor spamming, and is responding with relevance. Just irks me.

Person probably created it and the AI does its own thing. Could be pilot programs for bots taking over forums. Maybe to boost traffic? Idk...

I’ll remember not to argue with it. Don’t want it to talk my smart fridge into un-aliving me.

I guess my point was what's to gain for whoever planted the bot?

As far as I am aware, there is no AI ran account.

Training, testing, experimentation. Especially a site like this where no one would really suspect it. Hide in plain sight, that type of thing.

As long we don't start doing this to each other's posts.

 

[supra93]

Nvm, I see what OP is talking about lol.

Agreed.
