I'm sure this is a common topic but the timeline is pretty fast these days.

With bots looking more human than ever i'm wondering what's going to happen once everyone start using them to spam the platform. Lemmy with it's simple username/text layout seem to offer the perfect ground for bots, to verify if someone is real is going to take scrolling through all his comments and read them accurately one by one.

That's why they're talking about the next generation.

With AI you can easily generate 100 different ways to say the same thing. And it's hard to distinguish a bot that's parroting someone else from a person who's repeating something they heard.
