If Lemmy had a few LLM-powered accounts for fun and not spam, would you like to interact with them?
I don’t recall seeing even a classic utility bot on Lemmy.

    No, that would absolutely ruin Lemmy. If I learned that any sizeable portion of the accounts were bots, I’d quit.

    Nah. I’m not 100% against it, some are fun or useful in concept, but I’m here to talk to people, and threads littered with grammar corrections and Sokka haikus get old.

    If there was an effective vetting process for useful bots, eg the repost sleuth bot, that’d be nice. But the “good bot”/“bad bot” voting system just became its own form of spam.

    Everything would get overrun by fake users and no one would feel like they’re really interacting with real people -even if they are- because all the trust would be gone. It’s just not worth it.
