Yes, I do still use Twitter and yes I know it's X. But more and more I see these reply that are incredibly obviously written by LLM (and notoriously ChatGPT)
Like this thread I'm reading right now how Finland closed all it's borders (and it is written by a human) but then the replies are like:
-It's important for countries to manage their borders effectively while ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals involved.
-That's a significant step to address the issue. Hoping for lasting solutions that prioritize the safety of all involved.
- That's an interesting development in Finland's immigration policies. It's important for countries to find a balance that takes into account economic, social, and security concerns.
etc... so yeah, very obviously LLM. Very obviously ChatGPT by the language too.
So enlighten me - what are people doing this hoping to achieve, except me very swiftly clicking Block the user?
I see it more and more. Not that I care about X either way, (for what it is worth, it can became a bot infested platform) but this is using LLM the 100% wrong way - for goals I can't imagine. It adds no context, no opinion, just noise.
I just can't find a scenario when this is good or beneficial for anybody doing it (or reading it). But maybe it's just me.
Hmm??
Astroturfing just got orders of magnitude cheaper with the advent of LLMs. This, along with spam and advanced phishing are some of the true real and present dangers of this technology. It's a battle between content platforms and any bloke with an axe to grind, and it's probably a loosing battle for the content platforms.
Genuine human to human interaction online is going to become rare and tedious. Can't even imagine what kind of captchas they'll have to come up with to fool the next generation of multimodal models.
Almost like we should just go back to meaningful face to face communication.
over Skype, right?;)
