How many of you are actually chatbots?

ULTIMATEDEAD@lemmy.ml to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 280 points –

How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

Question: outside of karma posting requirements how did reddit users having more karma assist with a user's reach?

I don't think it does, having a flair in a particular sub lends more weight for that sub. I believe some individuals with high karma points tend to be more obnoxious because they don't care that people will downvote them, but I personally experienced only one (which could be just that specific individual.) There are other who wish for tools that'll screen out both low-karma users (spams, etc) and really-high-karma (100K+) users, presumably because of reasons along this line.

Humans often behave differently when they have coveted labels associated with them. Think celebrity, blue-birds, royalties, etc.
